>>23430307The story line was subpar but the games themsevles were a refreshing experience and while I didn't get to travel to another region I did enjoy revising areas from the first game with their new coat of paint. That and the new areas that opened up after the 2 year gap from the first.
The only problem I had with it outside the story was all of the extra stuff for player interaction. It felt like the Avenue, Black City / White Forest and stuff like the entralink would have functioned greatly if it were a street pass function Instead of the link feature.
Also the key system was dumb. Just give us a change in difficulty from the start. The difficult mode was a nice touch. NPCS were smarter, carried more Pokemon, and Had higher levels.
