>>38366641>the whold dex is filled with ripoffs of KANTOOOOOParallels don't equate to ripoffs. The Gen 5 Pokemon had different themes and design elements compared to the Pokemon they were reminiscent of. Everything is a ripoff when you deconstruct it to its bare minimum. Don't do that, or else you'll never see a fresh idea in your life.
>the story is a jokeAll Pokemon games have a joke for a story. BW and BW2 is the closest we'll get to "good" though, even though it was just "me want to take over world hurrrggghhh" with some fluff.
>both rivals are stupidThey were tolerable as characters; Nothing too out there. They weren't edgy like Silver or wince-inducing like the Gen 6 crew at the very least.
>game has absurd amount of handholdingI found it negligible. Handholding only really started to get truly awful starting with Gen 6.
>i only like team plasma design in BW2Valid point. The medieval knight theme was fitting given their purpose, but it was pretty tacky.
