>>49280384Made two attempts at BW last year and dropped both of them upon reaching Castelia City. The Team Plasma encounters were especially exhausting, lots of talking from the rivals, limited selection of Pokemon, not much in the way of exploration, then you get dumped into Castelia City which is so massive and a pain to navigate that it became too much for me to want to comb through. I feel like the game does not try very hard to get me invested. The previous generations did a better job of this by being more hands-off; they gave you more chunks of pure gameplay with little dialogue/cutscenes. BW feels way more restrictive and railroaded in comparison.
