I genuinely like the smaller dex. The first time I played it, it felt like playing pokemon again for the first time. I didn't know any of the new pokemon or what did they did. Their colors were weird so I didn't know their type. I thought blitzel was a dark type because it was black for example. To me it was a genuinely new experience and I will always remember it fondly. I've replayed 2 many times but never 1. I'm okay with that because I will never have that experience again
The story and its characters are better, N's Castle theme is great, credits theme is a banger. The rival and champion are more satisfying for the climax than beating a literal child. It's otherwise a worse game though.
>he thinks they responded within a couple months
it was always planned. nip mons arrived on the shores of unova in the postgame of BW1, not in BW2. two years later they are everywhere
>2 is a sequel to 1, so 1 should be played first.
this, honestly
BW and BW2 are meant to be played together, the flaws of one are fixed by the other, together they form a complete package
>story is better >restricted regional dex allows for more cohesion >better balanced due to prior point >munna and musharna aren't postgame (yes this irked me) >fossils aren't postgame

B2W2 are definitely better though mainly because the characters don’t stop you nearly as much to give preachy speeches about truth and ideals.

IS that supposed to require every mon ever being catchable? I don't think so. It should, however, have every mon usable.
Never said they were active. Pikachu is in the game, usable and obtainable via trading. Every game has this with many mons. Why are you sperging over this game specifically?
BW stands on its own better and was clearly less rushed than B2W2.
BW managed something that no other game did except gen 1, it created a whole new ecosystem with only its own new pokemon. And it did it better than gen 1 in some sense. Gen 1 only had 15 types, BW had 17 and yet it managed to distribute them better to the point where every type has enough representatives for a playthrough, something that no other game really managed before it since even Platinum kind of lacked dragons and Hoenn lacked ice. BW is what every fakemon rom hack aims to be
Now compare that to B2W2 which spams fan service mons on routes, most of the content it added is fan service too like PWT, gives you free shinies out of nowhere, has reused dialogue despite being a sequel NOT a third version... and has the worst implementation of difficulty settings in pokemon history.
A problem BW had was that important trainers didn't have enough pokemon, because of the limited dex. B2W2 could have fixed that since it has a bigger dex, but it didn't, instead it locked the bigger teams behind a post game locked, version exclusive hard mode that doesn't even work as intended
>has the worst implementation of difficulty settings in pokemon history
I meant in video game history
Since's it's the only time pokemon ever had difficulty settings unless you count the hoenn starter pick :^)
i think it comes down to bw2 feeling really haphazard in a lot of ways bw didn't. the story seemed kind of slapped together and aimless, like it wasn't parricularly well thought out. bw has a really strong narrative, like they actually had an idea for what they wanted to do with it and built around that. i've always thought bw2 were considerably weaker in that regard. i also thought the limited pokédex of bw did a fantastic job of selling the idea that unova really was extremely far away from the other regions, and i think adding other pokémon to the dex in bw2 was a massive blow to the region's identity, even if the game was more fun for it. i liked bw2 but i never thought they were better than bw, and honestly seeing the hype around them over the last decade has been incredibly weird to me, because the general consensus seems to be that they were better than bw. also hilda is so much better than rosa it's not even funny, even at the time i was like "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???"
There are none

Non bloated dex
Hilda's ass

B2W2 was made as a panicked bandage over all the Unova backlash, it also features the shiny charm which marked shinies descent into being meaningless.
>he thinks they responded within a couple months
it was always planned. nip mons arrived on the shores of unova in the postgame of BW1, not in BW2. two years later they are everywhere
?? it's usable in both
Please show the route i can catch it in.
I said usable, not catchable. Learn to read, autist.
So its no in the game? Wow talk about "complete package"...
>ESL
Yes, it's in the game. I don't get why you're sperging.
Oh its in the game? Show me the route i can catch it in.
>deflects to "catchable" again
I'm sorry you can't comprehend two definitions that aren't identical anon.
it is in the game but you can't catch it
I dont see any Pikachus there.
Still not seeing any Pikachus.
>ermmm im still not *sniff* acktually seeing any *pushes up glasses* pikachus in there *gargling toilet water*
It's in the grass here
I like the story and characters more. It also has my favorite protags from any of the mainline games.
More N.
2 is a sequel to 1, so 1 should be played first.
More N.
Final battle is the villainous team than the regional champion.
More N.
>2 is a sequel to 1, so 1 should be played first.
this, honestly

I played them both but im still missing Pikachu.

Daycare
is it not still in exactle the same place? i mean, i guess it's available slightly earlier, is that what you're getting at?
I like the Reshiram/Zekrom fight theme in BW1 better than the Kyurem fight theme in BW2
It caved in and make KANTOOOO mons available right up from the second town.
The Castle raid at the end
It's not catchable, but it is in the game. There are many mons like this in every game. Please stop sperging for no reason.
>i cant catch it
doesn't mean it's not in the game

>it has to be a trainer, not a mystery gift
Oh nice those are still active? Please do post the code!
Never said they were active. Pikachu is in the game, usable and obtainable via trading. Every game has this with many mons. Why are you sperging over this game specifically?
Oh.. so it's not in the game after all... Nice try coping tho!
but it is, see
but it isnt, see
>deflects to "catchable" again
It;s not catchable, but it's in the game. Sorry you can't handle two different definitions actually being different.

this was debunked
BW1 isn’t better per say, but goes well when played back to back with BW2. Especially with the memory link.
You sound like a dexit white knight
stop feeding the troll
>shifts to "obtainable" again
schizo moment
>easier to RNG in
>no medals
>better gym leaders
>hilda's smelly ass
>herbert's smelly ass

More creative, better story, better music, better characters, doesn't rely on KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hilda butt

i didn't bother with bw2 since bw already has everything i want
