>>55592679I finally got around to playing BW2 for the first time while transporting all my childhood mons to HOME Hell, and it's been a complete slogfest. While there aren't as many bullshit difficulty spikes like in BW, most of the game just feels like surplus content stapled onto BW with random paths blocked off to justify making you take the new paths. Thankfully Magnemite trivializes most of the early game, you can easily sweep through gyms 2, 3 and 6 with it while also being significantly underleveled. The only advantage to this game is that it gives you more early-game options than BW.
