GameSpot Strikes again! Gives Pokemon White version 2 a disappointing score~ So bad it would make Pachter sick to his stomach.

New Pokemon games are 90% the same game before it, throw in some new pokemon and a new map and there is a sequel.

Why does it deserve a better score?

Yeah sure.

Gameplay changes since RBY:

Special stat split in Special Attack and Special Defense.

Two new types to balance the game.

New moves.

Equipped items.

Natures.

Abilities.

EV Spreads.

Breeding.

Special and Physical attacks for every type.

Lots of moves have been tweaked for balance.

The mentioned new pokemon.

 

And I'm sure i'm missing some of the newer ones.

In 11 sequels that is hardly anything.

11 sequels?

Only if you consider Pokemon Yellow or Platinum as sequels. Edit - Gameplay wasn't changed in those games.

This is the 5th gen of Pokemon.
