>>47857631>BW2 was the second game I played from gen 5.What do you want, a medal?
>You don't know what the word "new" meansNeither do you. It’s a relative term. Unova mons are still recent a year later when no newer mons were made. They were still new at the time.
>Why the fuck would I play a sequel before the original game?Because it doesn’t piggyback off the originals and has a standalone experience. Oh, and it having everything from the originals and more.
>>47857631>>Is BW bad because some people played BW2 first?>NoBy your logic it is. It’s stale.
>Wow! You're right anon, they should never make new games ever, they should just make one game and then just keep updating it for the rest of time.You wanted them to make B2W2 a new generation a year after BW? Oh boy, you are schizophrenic and very demanding. A sequel with additions is the next best thing.
>But it does, because the content is stale.Staleness causes linearity? Are you hearing yourself? Are you ready to admit you’re arguing for the sake of arguing and don’t care about the truth? Either way, it’s less linear and isn’t stale unless you actually hated the original content. And that’s a matter of taste, which is subjective.
>Gen 1, 2, and 8 are far less linearThanks for conceding unova is less linear than hoenn, sinnoh, Kalos, and alola
>Gen 1 and 2 are far less linearTrue, but many think this is worth sacrificing for a MUCH better story and optional map sidetracking map locations.
Also, gym badges out of order is not exploration. It’s the SAME LOCATIONS ANYWAY in a different order.
> Gen 8 isn’t linearNice meme
It’s the most linear main series pokemon game so far, with literally no locations that you can lose yourself in.
