This is it. The chips are down, the die’s been cast, and the fate of the Pokemon World is on the line. Step back into Unova and prepare to catch 'em all in Pokemon Black 2 & White 2, the most critically acclaimed monster collecting RPG of all time. Just be sure to keep a box of tissues handy, because it’s about to be a bumpy ride.

This isn’t a cutesy monster collecting game it’s an epic tale of history altering conspiracies, gray morality, a mad scientist, fallen deities, bittersweet reunions, genetic dragon modification, and much, much more. Gluttons for punishment, rejoice, because once it gets rolling, there are no brakes on this pain train. It’ll test your limits, challenge your worldview, and by the time it’s all over, you’ll be so emotionally spent that it’ll be weeks before you can fully process the implications of what you’ve just witnessed. Fair warning, though: common side effects include feelings of emptiness, PTSD, and unrealistic expectations for any and all other Pokemon games.
