>>54795707yes I always liked BW better, but listing all the things would feel more like a BW2 hate post. It mainly comes down to not liking the changes BW2 made.
In BW the region felt linear at first glance, but it when BW2 changed it I liked BWs Unova more. Same with the story. I only remember the stupid flying airship, and I like airships but everything about the BW2 story felt wrong.
When you were wandering through the ruins of the castle, I believe after victory road or after the league idk, you were literally wandering through the ruins of BW and it felt like it. But I didn't get anything out of this other than: I liked that better. Why can't this stuff be intact again?
I believe the forced 40min tutorial in BW2 makes people put up a "I need to get over this" mindset. This was probably the biggest mistake they ever made in the franchise.
Sorry that I cannot provide a better argument but it's about 10 years ago since I last played Gen5 and I'm only on XD now that I replay everything from the start.
