I could've written this secret and I'm pleased someone else is bold enough to say it. I always feel like I'm not "allowed" to dislike XY because everyone else loves it. I think you used the perfect word to describe XY- 'weak'. The elements are all there, it just felt rushed and there was something really lacking. I don't really like the 3D much myself, but I'm willing to over look it for ORAS.

I do think they had some big shoes to fill after gen 5 as well. Everything about gen 5 was so good and I'm not surprised that XY pales in comparison. I'm hoping a Z version might offer some improvements and polish Kalos up to everything it could've been, though.

B/W was surprisingly entertaining; I hate Gen 4, so this was definitely an improvement. I never did get B2/W2, are they worthwhile?

If you enjoyed BW's plot, then BW2's is an unnecessary, boring extension to it. There's a couple of interesting new characters, but I personally wasn't blown away by some of the plot reveals and the climax of the game wasn't handled as interestingly as BW's.

I was really hoping to see the player character from BW as well, since you can link the two up and get some extra scenes as flashbacks and people talk about your BW player, but it never happens.

HOWEVER- the actual gameplay for BW2 was really great and I had a lot of fun with it. I really liked the new areas introduced and we get another, completely new Victory Road. Two years pass between BW and BW2 and they considered carefully what had changed in that time, maybe more so than the 3 year timeskip between RBYFRLG!Kanto and GSCHGSS!Kanto.

Some of the new features were fun, too. Join Avenue was good, as was PokéWood and the PWT. I really enjoyed the Medal Rally as well, which are BW2's answer to achievements. The player characters and the new rival are cute, too!

TL;DR: BW2 is a great game for the gameplay, but the story was really weak. I'd recommend it anyway if you enjoyed BW, though.

Not really. It doesn't add much new stuff, I don't even remember what the story was, and Hugh is the fucking worst.

Going to be the voice of dissent, but yes! I actually do like the plot, one or two elements aside, I love some of the character development (Bianca and Iris especially), the expanded Unova is fantastic, and as the anon above said, the gameplay is AMAZING. Especially the post-game. Some features are no longer available, like Join Avenue, since they finished DS wifi, but the rest of the game is really solid.

Adding onto this: Bianca, to me, went form really annoying in BW to adorable and likable in BW2. Cheren's development was really interesting too! also he got really cute

I'm very much not entertained by the mega stuff and haven't even given it any use in my games and am very annoyed they seem to enjoy creating new megas more than new pokémon.

And the storyline was so underwhelming I don't even properly remember what it was about, other than there was some big guy........

Though I do like the 3D stuff, and pokémon ami is fun. Though going through lumiose city makes me feel sick and very disorientated. And I'm annoyed that the circle pad is roller skates by default and you can't change it.

[(Anonymous)]

They definitely like making new megas more than they like making new evolutions.

I'm really curious as to what you want polished. Not outright disagreeing with you - I didn't hate Kalos, but it wasn't my favorite, either. What particular things do you want to improve on, and how?
