>>34245579>Pointless self indulgence, story in Pokemon is window dressing to be moved through with all due haste.I like how the story play off from the first game. I liked how the BW1 rivals now have jobs as a gym leader and juniper's assistant
>Appeal to nostalgiaHow is connecting past events from/after the first games appealing to nostalgia? It make the games feel even more connected
>More than half the leaders were the same, puzzles were insultingly simple if not non-existentProbably but I enjoyed the changes
>Why wasn't this in the base game again, let alone split between versions?>Again, should be in first gameMaybe but I was happy to have then despite that.
>Cosmetics a shitAt least BW2 actually have version changes like opalucid city, black tower and white tree hollow, Unova route 4 being a city in black2 or stopping the construction because of newly discovered ruins in white2
>A new coat of paint doesn't change the base dungeonWhat does this even mean? Barely any old parts of the previous victory road.
>No shit, they had to justify recycling all those areasTrue but it was a nice surprise to see random veterans and being able to relive the first step the old MCs took with their rivals via Biancia's memory link battle.
Call it whatever you like. I enjoyed what BW2 offered.
