It got destroyed by reviews. Only 6.5 million worst selling mainline Pokemon games was on the highest selling handheld no less. Nobody talks crap about this game because barley anyone else played it. Only hardcores. Sun and moon will destroy these games period. Game freak always wins except for BW/W2

Best games by far.
Best overworld design, best dex, best postgame, second-best music. God-tier games.

Even reviews were shit. Objectively the worst Pokemon games according to sales and reviews only things game freak cares about. Vp only place that praises this.

I'm trying to understand why there seems to be a group here that spends every moment of every day shitting on Gen 5. What do they actually gain out of this? Is this a falseflagging genwunner conspiracy to set the other gens against an easier target?

This is what happens when you invest too much money in developping the game instead of marketing.
They sure learned from their mistake with Sun and Moon.

You do know that sales only help count how many casuals are playing the game at the same time and reviews are only good when you pay them, right? God, please refrain yourself from giving big opinions when you're this gullible.

But Platinum is the worst selling DS or 3DS entry.

I miss DS online a lot. I really want to have a lot of old favorites in my BW2 cart but its impossible now.

Hopefully SM will give me that experience. Its not PWT but if I can face some characters that I like with my bros I'll be happy.

There are lots of people who actually do by both versions, and that's not even to mention that B2W2 are their own fucking game. Not a third version, not a sequel, but a different game on its own. You would do more right by comparing to RS and DP than Emerald or Platinum.

I honestly don't think that they're anything special.
They're basically what B/W should have been, but then again Gen V was stale and dated as fuck when it came out in the first place.
Gen VI and VII are actually better in that they added some amount of freshness to the franchise.
Megas, fairy type and alolanforms are all cool, welcome additions that can excite both casuals and longtime fans.
Gen III, IV and V to me are incredibly forgettable, bland and ugly games. The overhead world and the sprites should have been gone in the Gen IV era at the latest.

The game is very accessible, but some totem fights are really hard for a post-Platinum Pokemon maingame. Normies will rage at some of them for sure, unless they are raising a balanced team.

There's also a NPC fight that I consider on par with BW1 Ghetsis.

You do realize people could easily play BW on an emulator like weeks before they came out. And it wasn't convoluted as shit like it is now

Imagine how much piracy BW2 had

Not to mention the 3ds was already out

And was the 5th release of Pokemon on the same fucking system

Worst taste in the entire thread.
Megas, fairies and alolan forms were all executed horrible wrong in a shallow attempt to revitalize the franchise.

Yet Yokai Watch gets like 2 million sales and is called "POKEMON KILLER11!"

Literally any 3DS game that breaks 1 million sales is a success. 3+ million is a classic.

Terrible region, mediocre new mons, excellent mechanics, excellent post-game.

It's one of the best Pokémon games, right up there with Emerald, Platinum and HGSS.
