Anyone else found black and white boring as fuck
I enjoyed every other gen except this one I'm not sure why.. which makes me worry about XY being overhyped

I found it boring for a while, but for the past few months looking back on them and replaying them I found that I really fucking liked them. Definitely up there with my favourites.

The beginning is incredibly boring. It doesn't get fun until you're halfway through the game. Probably my least favorite pokemon games because of this.

I agree completely, Black and White 1 are my least favourite games in the franchise, I don't know what it is, it's just incredibly boring compared to the other games, that said Black 2 is probably my favourite game in the franchise, so I don't know.

Gen 5 is my favourite gen, I really liked the fact that there were only new Pokémon and more Pokémon than in any other game.

I loved the character-design. I loved the fact we got actual sequels this time around.
I played Black > Black 2 > White 2 Nuzlocke.
Gen 4 was slow. HG/SS weren't anything special. Gen 3 was OK, aside from the lack of Pokémon. Didn't play FR/LG.

Second favorite games after the Kanto games.

All-new Pokemon, quick-paced progression, really cool Gym leaders who actually do things. My main complaint would have to be the comparatively weak starters, but on the whole I found White extremely enjoyable.

Maybe I'm just biased as a New Yorker.

too handholdey, it felt like one long ass tutorial
post game made up for it, but they needed even more
gyms really felt lacking with three pokemon max on the leader

the sequels gave more, and even gave a lot of side shit to do, but even on challenge mode it was still too damn easy
they needed to limit the accessibility of healing items and shit, because having 70 lemonades after the second gym because you made some movies was retarded

b/w was a revitalization of the series
they had to make it easier for children to play in their attempt to acquire the 12 and under crowd they were going for

that being said, I enjoyed b/w1 and its probably the pokemon game i put the most hours into since I didn't really get into breeding and whatnot until this gen, but b/w2 really felt like it was too easy. I beat the E4 and champ on my first try which I've never done before. I've yet to try challenge mode but as far as I've read it's just the same shit higher level

It was a revitalisation, it was a continuation, the space between gens IV and V wasn't that long.

I loved BW for the story and gameplay, and it's probably my favorite game in the series. BW2 had even better gameplay, but the story was shit (boring, bad pacing, goddamn fusion) and I felt it was overall a worst game. I still have't finished BW2.

I really enjoyed BW story, but there was no postgame for me to really sink my teeth into.

BW2, however, kept what I felt was a decent story and gave me a postgame I haven't put down (PWT)

I loved Black and White. The only issue I had with it is how linear the map is. Other than that, I really enjoyed the story and characters and some of the Pokemon were pretty cool too.

BW2 on the other hand...it makes a few good additions to gameplay but sucks away what made the first good IMO.

No denying that. I do admit that the cinematics were, as always, heavy-laden.

I still played it through 31 times before I stopped playing it. Story was fresh and nice to me every single time.

Wow I just remembered the whole Hard Mode thing. I have a copy of White 2 en route to my house and I'm wondering which mode I should play for the usual, run-of-the-mill Pokemon game experience. Is Hard Mode significantly harder than past games?

The fifth gen basically got me back into the series, I dropped everything Pokemon related after I completed my Pokedex in Silver. I picked up a copy of White on a whim, and was just blown away by how much better the game was the ones I played as a kid. My only complaint is that I still do not like a lot of the new designs, especially from the third and fourth gens.

hard mode is kind of stupid
the pokemon on trainers are higher level, but that means they give more experience, which means the level difference isn't notable at all

pretty much the biggest difference is the gym leader and elite four will have an extra pokemon, and usually they'll have a move that is super effective against the expected counter (ie: roxie assumes you'll be using a magnemite immune to poison, so she knows some ground moves to fuck you over)

Only if you're nuzlocking really. Even though it's a slight level gap things can fuck you over a lot easier.

I'm still hoping that we get some more into that story arc, there are still questions that need to be answered.

Speaking of conclusions, I have to say that BW had my favourite ending out of all the main games.
>N becomes champion right before you
>Castle out of fucking nowhere
>That awesome music
>Sages & Gym Leaders fight
>Fulfilling the legend and catching the dragon
>Fighting N with said Dragon
>Ghetsis
>N's farewell
>Game actually ends after you defeat the Evil team
>An epic as in an actual epic credits theme instead of the slow calming ones.
I felt so happy when I finished Black, I actually felt like I accomplished something.

I initially found them slow as well,but they pick up the pace around the fourth gym and after that,they've easily became the best Pokemon games I've played. G/S/C are still my favourites,but after I take off nostalgia glasses these two stand above everything.
