>>51748947I tried playing this last month. I never got around to finishing it.
The biggest problems at the start were
>starters are in contention for the worst ever>incessant dialogue and character intros for the first 3+ hours>sprites just still look awfulBut I was able to look past that and appreciate the good
>huge pokemon diversity in the first few routes>huge route diversity (even if comically so)>gym designs are the best they've ever done>actually difficult level curveBut then... I just stopped playing. Something about it is exhausting. I think because the first 5-6 towns you go to are all giant cities with a million buildings. Idk if that gets better as it goes but by the time I got to the 5th giant city with movie theaters, roller coasters, contests, sports games, train stations, I was just like holy fuck... stop. I just want to catch pokemon. IMO it cant be the best pokemon game for this reason. Pokemon to me is about exploring nature and catching pokemon, and White 2 diminishes both of those things in favor of themepark towns and character interactions/story. Maybe it gets better as it goes but I just got too bored with it.
