    A second visit to the Unova region doesn't quite hit 100 percent perfection with this series veteran.

    Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 are technically fantastic, taking the core of a remarkable series and building in all manner of new and intriguing features to keep fans enamoured with what is basically a simple formula rinsed and constantly repeated over the years. The only aspect holding back these first ever direct sequels is the standard of presentation, with only minor upgrades since originally gracing the world over 15 years ago, no matter how much the point is argued. That being said, for the gameplay and story elements alone, this is undoubtedly an essential purchase.

    Are Pokémon Black and White 2 just as impressive as other Pokémon games? No. Can you enjoy the games just as much as any other Pokémon game? Yes! Pokémon Black and White 2 are refined versions of the first Pokémon Black and White games that offers enough new content to keep you entertained for forty, sixty or even a hundred hours of Pokéfun. Just don't expect any revolutionary changes.

    It's a good-looking DS game as well, slick new presentation and more emphasis on cut-scenes and 3D visuals making this an obvious transitional title on the series' inevitable march towards the 3DS.

    Pokémon Black & White 2 is more of an expansion than a true sequel, therefore whoever has played the previous edition might find it less interesting than it really is. Newcomers instead should not be afraid of taking this new, excellent adventure on: not the best Pokémon to date, but damn close.

    As for those who played Black and White, the question is: how much Pokémon can you take? If you're rearing to play another Pokémon game, this is a good one. If you're feeling apathetic about the series as it stands, Black and White 2 are not going to change your mind.

    If you are an avid Pokémon fan, what you get with Black & White Version 2 is a true Pokémon experience.

The series has really gone downhill since the 3rd generation, and I expected this to be as bad as black and white. I took the risk anyway and got this game and after beating it I have realized that this may very well be the best Pokemon game of the entire series. It had so many improvements and key features removed from previous games. The story was far better than expected, the Elite Four was a huge improvement from the last game, the gyms were far more interesting to go through, the rival is far more likable, and most of all the regions are all mixed together in this game. From the very beginning generation 1 Pokemon are able to be caught as well as 2-5. I have to say, I've played since Blue version and I never expected something this good.… Expand

    Si ya pokémon Blanco y Negro fueron de lo mejor que nos ha entregado pokémon, en mi opinión Pokémon Negro 2 ya roto ese molde y se corona enSi ya pokémon Blanco y Negro fueron de lo mejor que nos ha entregado pokémon, en mi opinión Pokémon Negro 2 ya roto ese molde y se corona en mi opinión como el mejor videojuego de pokémon hasta la fecha. Nuevas e increíbles rutas además de re encuentros con viejos personajes, utilización explendida de cada recurso que tiene y un Post game fenomenal, el mejor de todos los juegos de pokémon junto con lo que fue el post game de Pokémon Heart Gold y Soul Silver. La nueva banda sonora, los nuevos personajes y la vuelta a la región de pokémon anteriores, junto a una historia más que divertida son cosas que elevan a estos juegos a ser más que simples terceras versiones. Por todo esto y muchísimo más es que estos me parecen los mejores juegos de la saga.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Deffo the best pokemon game of the series that's out there. Although it is set in Unova again, the storyline is completley different. It's set two years after the events of N and Team Plasma. However Team Plasma are still there they are now run by Ghetsis and N has turned good. Another thing I liked about this game is that you can get all three of the legendary trios just by playing through the game. The battles are still fun and maybe slighlty easier than Pokemon B/W. But in all this is a fantastic game.… Expand

    I've always been a massive fan of the Pokemon series, so I guess it might be a little biased. But I absolutely love this game.

    One of the worst pokemon games. Do not play it: nothing to do anywhere, horrible story, ugly even for a handheld game, almost no new contentOne of the worst pokemon games. Do not play it: nothing to do anywhere, horrible story, ugly even for a handheld game, almost no new content except at the very start that's super slow, less daring than black white 1, nothing new or different, ulgy characters. Now that the game is almost a decade old, you may find younger people pretending otherwise, but those are just blinded by nostalgia, there's at least 15 mainline pokemon games better to play than this one.… Expand
