Hawkeye Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 So after getting back into the series with X, I decided to go back and give gen 5 a try. Basically, I'm wondering if I should play one of black/white and one of black2/white2, or if I should just play one of the second set or just one of the first. Are there enough differences to warrant multiple playthroughs? Are black2/white2 like the usual third game in a generation (yellow, crystal, etc)? Any opinions would be appreciated.

TheEnd Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 No, BW2 is a proper sequel of BW1. So you should probably play one game of each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruity Insanity Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 What TE said. But more importantly. Why have you been skimping gens in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espinosa Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I also lost interest in Pokemon by RSE and got back into it with BW2. BW2 has its own story distinct from BW1 but most importantly it features the pre-Unova mons we all know and love (some of them anyway; the Zubats are back in some caves aaaah).

Djeets Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 don't play BW2...just don't... BW2 is just a re-scrapped of BW ~.~ and BW had better storyline, but BW2 had more Post game stuffs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Play B2W2, they're amazing! BW was good, but B2W2 just made gen 5 even better, imo. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeDusk Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Play Black/White then Black2/White2. Aside from being the chronological order, if you game sync Black/White to GTS then game sync Black2/White2 then you unlock more content, which is sweet. The story on the former is amazing too Black2/White2's story was eh but iirc it was a bit more challenging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During your experience with Black2/White2 you will get flash backs about the previous game from different perspectives and stuff. That's all I remember from the top of my head. It explores the storyline though and I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ema Skye Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) BW2 is like the third version of BW1, so it's pretty much universally better. You don't miss much of anything in the storyline either, so if you can only get one, don't fret.
