Damn, I messed up. I posted this some day ago, but I forgot to check back for an answer.

I've missed out on Gen 5, I keep hearing that BW2 is some of the strongest games in the series while BW gets credits for having a good story/campaign. Not to mention BW comes before BW2, so even though those are better should I still go with the first game?

Which would you recommend I play for my Gen 5 experience?
