Generally agreed to be the best games, top 3 best games at the very worst. BW was a good series reboot and had an above average story that hasn't been outdone till SM. B2W2 boasts massive Pokemon variety to the point where it seems like no 2 people had the same team, it also featured a challenge mode, great online perks, and a metric fuckton of postgame content. Music was nothing to sneeze at either.

tl;dr, if you somehow have not played through Gen 5, you're a fool.
