It amazes me how many people just kinda skipped over Gen V and didn't give it a chance because of Garbodor and Vanilluxe. In my opinion, BW is a huge improvement over DPPt and remains the best games in the series. BW2 took alot of the great things from BW and made them even better (though I liked BW's story better) and it was awesome to see a sequel in the same generation. If you haven't played these games, you really should. Best games in the series, hands down

AmericanHero247 B2W2 Is everything I wanted in a pokemon game: a huge roster of pokemon to collect, memorable characters, tons of new content, features like hidden abilities to give pokemon a chance(can't remember if it was introduced in BW sorry), and a DIFFICULTY SYSTEM. It makes me wonder why gamefreak didn't reintroduce this content in futurw games. Admittedly the stories in the bw games including this one could have been fixed a little but I'll be damned if I never said this was the best pokemon game ever. When mega evolutions and graphics are the main thing prioritized, B2W2 certainly stands tall above the rest.

B/W had the best story of the franchise while B2/W2 had the most content of the franchise. I started back with Red&Blue but I have to admit that Gen 5 is the best gen, followed very closely by Gen 3 simply because it's a bit outdated now. Emerald is still my favorite game though.

Pokemon B/W2 had a better story, better in game music, interesting characters, and pre/post game activities to do. all pokemon x and y has is 3d graphics and character customization. x and why wasn't bad at all it was just okay, B/W2 pushed what the DS was capable of while x and y was just okay sticking to the systems parameters. B/W2 may have just been a reboot but they added enough new elements to make it stand alone by itself and make it worth playing again.

It's only version in which you don't beat the champion at the end. Team Plasma wanted to liberate pokemon using them in battle. It shows their hipocritism and fact, that they are indeed not going to liberate them as Ghetsis wanted to be Unova only trainer and most powerfull man here. Clones are actually better than originals (except Gurdurr). Thing about you can catch only Unova-introduced pokemon underlines fact that it's first region not to be based on Japan. If you want to see some more linear regions I invite you to Kalos or Kanto.

Yes the newer gens have more of a color issue, but nothing that distinguishes them from the previous Pokemon. And your "standards" argument doesn't fly because BW 2 has Pokemon from all regions available throughout the game.

Worst to best Pokemon gens (In my opinion) (Remakes/third games don't count) 7: Gen 1 (Broken mechanics, unoriginal cries, bad graphics, doesn't hold up) 6: Gen 7 (TBH it was pretty lack luster and bland) 5: Gen 6 (Too easy, boring post-game, Gen 1 pandering) 4: Gen 3 (This was pretty overrated TBH, didn't really like the Pokemon personally) 3: Gen 2 (Improvements over Gen 1, better Pokemon than Gen 3 but still not my favorite) 2: Gen 4 (Adds new final evolutions to Pokemon, okay graphics, but slow pacing) 1: Gen 5 (Amazing story, awesome graphics, memorable characters, my favorite ledgendaries, favorite Pokemon gen) Final things I should address - My favorite Pokemon were in the Kalos region - The pacing issues in Gen 4 were fixed in Platinum, but I don't count third game - I don't count Pokemon BW2 in this list - I LOVE the remakes of Gen 1, 2, and 3, but they can't count - I have minor annoyances with BW, but I don't feel like going on - This is entitled to my opinion, so you probably WILL disagree with my list

The reason I like B&W2 the most is mainly because of the setting(Unova) and content. I felt that Unova was an amazing reigon packed with cities and places that had it's own originality and made each city feel like a new experience. Not to mention the cities were aesthetically pleasing. I think they tried to replicate that in Kalos, but most of the cities were bland(with only a few stand-alone city's). As for content, all you have to do is play the game and realize that. So much to do.

Yancy and Curtis (the 2 with the Xtransceiver side quest in B2W2) are actually the celebrities Nancy and Christoph from TV Celebrity channel. This is not a speculation. How'd I found out? On the Xtransceiver when they were going to tell you their names they were about to give you other names (which were their celebrity names). You are only able to see a few letters of that name before they cut themselves off giving you Yancy or Curtis (depending on your gender). In Nimbasa City by the Audino statue there was a lady that mentions about the celebrities coming by and being on their Xtransceivers a lot. Lastly, after returning Yancy or Curtis their Xtransceiver go watch the Celebrity channel on TV. There is a text that will only play once involving Nancy or Christoph.

Why do you think that? Black 1 is my favorite pokemon game. I haven't played 2 yet so that might change. I honestly think Diamond and Pearl are the worst. The cities were unmemorable, the music was bland (though the snow route song is fucking incredible and one of my favorite songs in the series), the graphics didn't feel that much better than ruby and saphire, and I hated that every single pokemon in the series was available from the beginning, making the game feel very cluttered. I feel that Black 1 fixed all of those problems. I'm not mad or demanding you take your opinion back. I'm just curious to know why you think that when Black is my favorite.

My guess as to why people hate gen 5, is because they're afraid to try different ideas to the series. The repeat clones of previous pokemon didn't help either, but that's just my interperetation.

X and Y weren’t THAT bad considering they had to transition all of the Pokémon to 3D but sun and moon, ultra sun and moon and sword and shield had no excuse and were AWFUL, lazy excuses of Pokémon games. I really hope gamefreak makes a Pokémon game with this quality again.

If you have nothing nice to say, might as well not say it at all, didn't your mother and father ever teach you that? And by the way, I believe the remakes are made for those to enjoy the Pokemon generations that others have not played and want to play. And there has only been one sequel.

Black and White 2 were much more complete games at their core. They didn't have access to 3DS hardware, but they were the ultimate Pokemon games at the time and I still prefer them to X and Y as of right now. X and Y feel a lot more empty, Z or whatever will probably come fix the patches, but there weren't many patches to fix where BW left off, they were just making extremely good games extremely better.

This generation expanded on the already amazing franchise. The metagame is much more competitive now and not to mention the amount of copies that were sold of the games. And the bad character design...who exactly? As for the Pokemon, the reason why people complain is because they're too attached to the previous generations and don't have an open mind for the newer Pokemon. While I don't find the designs as good as previous, they're not nearly as bad as people exaggerate them to be.
