>>55417081Black 2 White 2 gives the balance of old mons and new mons, which is something Unova needed but it further gives the game SO MUCH BEAUTY.
In the original gen 5 games you can enjoy the entire region as its stand alone entry, no ties to any other game (except for that team rocket dad in Icirrus City) as it was a whole new start like Hoenn was but this time it is with a bit more new pokemon than before.
I agree not all designs are as strong as Hoenn, I believe every Hoenn design is a diamond in its own right, including Luvdisc it is a niche valentines pokemon I love it.
B2W2 did not have to be made. We could have went straight to Gen 3 remakes in the Gen 5 style and that was it. However with Black and White receiving what surmounts to a sequel and a remake we were given a unique experience that has never been replicated as much as before with the exception of USUM but that is like cheating. We want sequels and remasters, not updated versions set in an alternate timeline if you arrived 1 year later.
B2W2 because it is a sequel gives that RESO-NATING Feeling of old and new which is POETIC because it gives access to the old mons,
Gen 5 was a masterpiece. INCLUDING THE WORLDBUILDING. Some of the best Pokemon Lore ever made and the world in my opinion felt more alive because of it. GameFreak finally made their European based game which they wanted for atleast since Gen 2 I believe with there being alot of movies and sidegames set in a European environment.
That further melts into how Japanese people thought the USA had castles and kings like Europe when they first met the USA.
Gen 5 was genius, asbolutely genius. Unfortunately because Black and White sold less than even Diamond and Pearl did and B2W2 selling even less Gamefreak most likely will not take the risk of making Third Versions of Sequel or reboot games ever again.
We had Gold my friends. Absolute Gold/
