BW2 is such a good game, but it has some flaws that bother me:
>There's no Original Dragon
>They removed Challenger's Cave
>They removed Route 10
>They removed most floors in Relic Castle
>they removed the ability to Polish your badges
>There is unused PWT data for Hilbert/Hilda but we don't get to battle them anywhere in the game

My question is WHY, bros? This game was SO CLOSE to being perfect.

I love the following Pokémon feature but it's not a Gen 5 feature so I can forgive BW2 for not having it.

The most egregious thing was backtracking on the soft reboot shtick.

You like the story and characters better too?
In my opinion the only thing BW2 had over BW was the PWT.

Well, BW plot and human characters were more memorable I guess. But restricting you to only Unova Pokemon until the postgame was dumb imo. It's only fun the very first time you play BW1. It's terrible for replays.

I suppose. But personally there's very few lines I flat out dislike in Unova and Gen 5 added the most Pokemon before or since so it doesn't really effect me.

>>There's no Original Dragon
The Original Dragon was only meant as lore
>>They removed Challenger's Cave
No idea why they removed it desu
>>They removed Route 10
They removed it because it leads to the Old Victory Road so it became pointless
>>They removed most floors in Relic Castle
This is compensated by the addition of the Relic Passage
>>they removed the ability to Polish your badges
No idea why they removed that, but I imagine this feature wasn't very popular as it never returned in future games (except for BDSP)
>>There is unused PWT data for Hilbert/Hilda but we don't get to battle them anywhere in the game
They probably couldn't figure out how to include them in the game

It has plenty of other flaws.
>no difficulty, literally the easiest game in the series outside arguably gen 6, gyms only use 3 pokemon, E4 only use 4 pokemon, no EVs for any of their pokemon, game hands out exp incredibly easily with lucky egg and the exp formula so you get overleveled very easily
>the difficulty modes that are there are not only virtually impossible to use without hacking because of the retarded key system, but don’t even work correctly once you DO unlock them
>barely any exploration, practically every town has random NPCs blocking different paths
>routes pointlessly blocked off just to pad out the “postgame” meaning there’s no way to breed or get fossils before beating the game
>4 separate forced tutorials and the game respects your intelligence so little it flat out ignores your dialogue choices
>sprites look like dogshit, the back sprites aren’t even scaled correctly and the automated tween animations always break the sprites
>PWT is casualized shit because there’s no streaks, meaning it’s effectively pointless to play instead of just doing PvP
>Battle Subway still doesn’t use Triple/Rotation battles
>Black Tower/White Treehollow is too easy and has no replayability
>story is dogshit even compared to BW, team plasma is effectively just a team aqua reskin that’s even less interesting than before and ghetsis has an even shittier team
>Iris does nothing the entire game except randomly pop up twice to lead you around somewhere, lazily slapped in as the champion because they had no other ideas
>still no basic features like autorun or berry farming or ribbon collection or fishing before the postgame
>reused dialogue up the ass from BW, is EXTREMELY obvious and jarring if you play BW then play BW2 right after, seems like the devs completely gave up making the game feel like an actual sequel after the 2nd gym
>C-Gear is fucking useless compared to…literally every other bottom screen UI in the franchise

They should have added E4 members to type expert tournaments in the PWT instead of just gym leaders.

Look at this shit. There was never a dark type gym leader in the first 5 gens so they had to fill the dark type expert tournaments with literalwhos
With E4 members they would have had 3 characters aka exactly enough to fill the tournament

NIGGER, I like B2W2 too, but none of those flaws even touch upon the ACTUAL flaws of the game, like the fucked pacing and extreme handholding.

BW's dex and story make for a stronger experience, but sometimes you just want to play a pokemon game and have things to do without overcomplicating it too much, and that's where BW2 shines. it's why i replay them far more often than the originals.
but both good.

Gamefreak already made the walking pokemon code in BW2 , it's only a matter of time until someone fully mods in walkable pokemon
