>>36768839they just realeased bw at a bad time. Alot of the original fan-base was going to college, the ds was old as fuck, and the r4 was fucking huge and it was way to easy to pirate games. I got the game years after release and it renewed my faith in the pokemon franchise then i played xy and dropped it even harder than before. Also if they would just fucking stop coming out with these beta versions just to release the complete game a year later maybe more people would bother buying their fucking games.
