I have seen alot of threads talking about whether BW sucks or SM sucks or JOHTOOO!!! sucks, and really the best region is the one you start out with. Most BW players and lovers on this board appreciated the story heavily as a kid and were born in around 2000-2005 era. I love Gen 2 and it's my favorite generation but sub-sequentially it's also my first Pokemon gen. The designs warm up on you so, I don't necessarily like most new Pokemon designs because of nostalgia. So stop with the fighting gentlemen, because we are all in this together.
