I actually played both and BW was a much more fun experience. The characters, the plot, the pacing of the game, it felt like an actual adventure in a whole new region. BW2 felt like a romhack some boomer made who doesn't know what the words pacing or direction even mean and just wanted more old pokemon. The story is complete trash, the arrangement of the towns you go through is complete trash, the way the game develops until the "postgame" which lame in itself is complete trash. Why is it praised while BW is hated?
