Black, White, Black 2 and White 2.
Which is your preferred game, and for what reasons?

I haven't played any Pokemon games newer than Heart Gold, and I'd like to try gen 5 before playing gen 6.
Don't have the time/money to play all of gen 5, so I'd like to know what /vp/ recommends.

Black/White is my favorite mainly because it forces you to use gen 5 pokemon only.
Though Black2/White2 has more content. So if you can only afford one game, get ones of the 2s.

I really like B/W for their story pacing rather than taking down evil team, getting 8th badge, then facing E4/champion, you're chasing down Plasma the entire way through.

B2/W2 are the better games though, only because of the larger selection of pokemon and the slightly larger region, story's back to the generic events.

If you want to experience gen 5 I recommend BW1. The local pokedex is only the new pokemon introduced in BW, and I found that refreshing and fun.

BW is the better region experience, but BW2 has a better postgame than both BW AND XY.

The Volt/Blaze versions of them are simply the best pokemon games.

Why is Giovanni punching Chansey? Is he aborting the egg that Chansey carries?

OP here
So far I'm leaning towards White, using gen-5 only Pokemon sounds like a welcome change.
I've used a Geodude on my team in every game, and a Crobat ever since gold/silver.

Bumping for more possible input.
I think I've settled on either Black or White though.

Same opie, I lost my DS so I stopped playing at at the time Platinum came out in Japan.

Ive asked this question and can never get a clear opinion. Some people really love and really hate one version or the other

One last bump to try and help this dude.
If nothing sways my opinion, I'll be buying white and downloading roms of the rest afterwards before I get a 3DS.

BW = better story, better thematic setting (it feels like you're far from Poke Japan and in New York/Poke America). None of the old Pokemon appear in BW until postgame.

BW2 = better postgame. Essentially the emerald/platinum of Gen V, has features that BW didn't have and possibly the best postgame in the series.

Very true, I'll give you that. Makes me wonder why Gamefreak can't be consist about their features.

It has PWT, which is a pretty fine replacement for the Frontier.

Not really. The great thing about the Battle Frontier was that each facility had its own unique battle style. Facing all the old gym leaders and champions was fun, but not really a replacement.
