Black and White 2

[Prpl_Mage]

As in - Pokémon, not that other game.

Anyone planning on getting it? I am, gonna spend a couple of hours on a plane in November so this would be some great fun. I love pokemon games, you can play them for hours and still not get bored with it.

[Archem]

Yes, I do plan on getting one or both of them.

I really only want one, but my brother always plays the one I don't. It's practically tradition, and I know he won't have money for it when it comes out, so I may end up having to get it for him.

[Grandy]

I don't care for Pokemon anymore. :/

You're one great brother.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

[Archem]

You're one great brother.

And yet, he's a complete jackass to me. Go figure.

[Grandy]

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

*shrug*

I can't find it enjoyable anymore. Whenever I play the new ones, it feels like I'm playing the old ones again and again.

Huh. That's kinda what I like about them. Same concept, introduce some new ideas. Double battles, triple battles, rotation battles, new type combinations ect.

And yet, he's a complete jackass to me. Go figure.

Yeah he may act like that but you both probably know that deep down there's some brotherly love

I gave up in the 2nd gym-ish of Black. I just didn't care at all for having to relearn 100% of everything again. Felt cut off from the stuff I liked.

No plans to get the sequels, or to play these games any more. I'm over them.

[Archem]

You say "re-learn" like it's hard/a bad thing. It's actually really easy to figure out what's what. Moves are mostly the same, types are the same, game progression is the same, and if anything's a type other than normal that early in the game, they make it blatant as hell. It's also exactly what people seem to want - something new in their Pokémon. If you only played to the second gym, then gave up, that's a massive shame.

[SaiKar]

I mean with the Pokemon themselves. I like trying new ones sometimes too, but I've found that I try to use the same few in every game and tracking them down and catching them is one of the best parts for me. Can't do that in Black. Every monster is new. I had no idea if my team was worth a darn or if I'd get stomped in some upcoming gym. It bothered me, quickly.

They've added old mons to the regional dex.  So u'll be able to catch some oldies with the newies. 

On a side note I like the new special and physical feature for attacks because it allows all moves to be either or using a specific stat.  The battles have greatly improved in strategy as well.  I just don't like it when people quit when they know I've beaten them over wifi and don't give me my winning point.  I hate people that do that.

I loved black and white. It was such a return to form after Diamond and Pearl, I thought.

Having said that, I won't get this sequel.  I'm only really interested in finding new pokemon (Kinda the opposite of Sai) and seeing what team I can make and what cool moves and combinations I can use.  This seems like a fancy version of the usual 'yellow, crystal, emerald' versions and I don't bother with them.  Apart from Yellow, of course. That was my first one, though.

Tell me about it. I hate playing games that I don't know everything about immediately. Such a waste of my time. That's why I only play sequels.

So you missed out on platinum which I personally thought was the best game yet? Diamond and pearl had some issues, like huge issues. A fire elite 4 who had 2 fire types. Small diversity of pokes ect ect.
The platinum righted all the wrongs, upped the difficulty and added all these things that just made the game so much more enjoyable. Wouldn't surprise me if I've spend over 300hours on that one.

If I got it right about B/W2 it's basically a sequel since there's a new storyline, some changes in areas and trainers ect. Older gen pokes are in it and a heap of guest trainers can be fought such as that blasted Cynthia or Lance.

[Moosetroop11]

You're missing the point though; the story, the baddies, beating the champion and all that are fun, but not the reason I get the games. I get 'em to make a party to fight my friends.  Hell, my old class had an elite 4.

So it doesn't really matter if they change bosses around or whatever.  The game really begins for me after I've won and I'm trying to get my smeargol a specific move or something.
