>>35106929I really love the region. It's also the biggest Pokemon region by quite a bit with 20 cities in BW2 (Second largest in Hoenn, with 15. Kanto and Johto both have 10. Alola has 9.)
The progression is a bit too linear in BW1, but this is entirely fixed in BW2 imo. There were also tons of optional areas and dungeons for exploration.
I didn't care much for the story, but it wasn't as obnoxious as in gen 7. The dex had a lot of filler, but also a lot of genuinely great pokemon. Either way, I much prefer that over the half dexes full of legendaries and unevolving pokemon like we got for the past 2 generations.
