>>13682457 is right; BW2 was just BW with a worse story, better Pokedex, and some helpful minor features.
>>13682437>But the journey to beat the pokemon league should be secondary, that shit's boringThat shit's boring because they keep pushing it to the side in favor of an unrelated main story. At least BW had Team Plasma attack the Pokemon League, so your two main goals in the game intersected for once. Every other recent game feels like it's being pulled in two directions between the League and the unnecessary storyline.
>And it was more in the forefront of the game in BW2 than it was in BW, the main story in BW2 felt more like a side quest than it did in almost any other pokemon gameIt felt like a sidequest because the struggle was so far removed from the main character; it's your friend's sister's Purrloin that was stolen, it was this kid from 2 years ago who actually did things, etc. It felt like a sidequest because it did a bad job of getting the player invested, not because it was any less focused on. You STILL have someone talk to you about the story every time you walk into a new town, you STILL have to beat that story before you can finish the League, etc.
