>>47101244If a game isn't worth finishing then it should be rated low. Your opinion of gen 5 won't change, you pretty much answered everything good the game has with your opinions in OP.
>story takes itself too seriouslyIt's the only story driven pokemon game that doesn't try to change the landscape of the world. We had environmentalists and cyrus before.
>you dislike the dexMost people do. Which also happened in hoenn to a lesser degree because old mons exist in hoenn. Unova dex is fun for those who are interested in new mons. Unova mons aren't new now, so that point is dead on arrival.
You don't need tips and tricks to enjoy a game. BW2 is regarded as a good game because it was filled to the top with content. It has a fuckton things to do unlike most pokemon games. It also offered more nostalgia than any game, even HGSS that is the definition of reviving nostalgia can't compete with PWT. Does that mean you should praise the game above the others? No, because you can't even get yourself to finish the main story. It doesn't matter to anyone, but yourself, if you finished the game or not because you know /vp/ if you hate gen 5 and like gen 8 you're yawnfag. If you like gen 5 and dislike gen 8 you're just another one in the echo chamber.
But if you're completing the game anyway have fun with post game. It's where the fun of gen 5 is anyway.
