I don't see how anyone can play through BW2 and find them the worst in the series. The only possible reason I can think of is that they didn't like BW and decided that BW2 was exactly the same. Which they obviously aren't.
I mean, it has the perfect level curve, a great regional dex that isn't too bloated (Kalos), has the best postgame, good music. It has a decent region with low dependencies on HMs. I mean, if Platinum didn't exist, BW2 would be the best games off all.
There are a number of uneeded interruptions and blocked off areas though, I'll give you that, but I don't think they matter too much when you look at the positives. Challenge mode was terribly implemented, but it makes for some pumped up battles in the post-game. Taking on Cynthia with a team straight out of E4 and winning was satisfying.
>>24601714Judging from the inital post, the poster is talking about Whitney or maybe Bugsy. If it's Whitney and you're even remotely suggesting that you need to grind, then you're fucking retarded.
>>24603631HGSS did not fix gen II flaws. They are very visible in the game. Gen II added the neat stuff, that's why it was good, not because of the terrible pacing and weak region.
