Forums - Nintendo - Pokemon black vs Pokemon black 2?

Hello, 

I am planning to buy Pokemon Black but I am indecesive whenever to get PB or PB2 is there a big difference? I understand that there were some upgrades for the sequels in terms of gameplay and pokemon availability. However, in terms of story will it be more enjoyable if I buy the original and then the sequel? I understand that I can play PB2 as a stand alone but I wanted to know if  I am missing out from not having played the original. 

 

Thank's,

Ctk

You won't miss much by buying PB2, the story part that you'll lose can be summarized in a short text, so buy PB2 and see the story of the first game online, and also, PB2 has much more pokémons on the main story, what makes the game better (IMO).

Cool thank's. I guess I'll head to youtube to watch those cutscenes. 



Don't even bother with Pokemon Black. Go straight for Pokemon White 2.

Is there a huge difference? Why do people keep saying that PW2 is one of the best Pokemon games of all time?

Should've skipped black and went straight to black 2. It's the best pokemon game for a variety of content and polish reasons. But if you already played black thoroughly then you may as well wait for X and Y now.



     
Games can and should tell stories and share ideas through their mechanics. This is the intrinsic element of the medium and this is how experiences should be crafted in video games. No company does this as well as Nintendo and their echoes from the past.

BlackWhite2 is like a directors cut

so go for it, unless you can get the first one REALLY cheap

Because it is. Pokemon W2/B2 have everything good in the Pokemon world (Online, Many (MANY) Pokemon, adventure, new locations, new gym leaders, new story, new team[s], etc.) wrapped into one amazing game.

Well I have not bought any of them yet, I am thinking of buying B2. Also does B2 features extra regions like G/S?  More gym leaders or just the battle frontier? I remember ruby being lame for that.



May buy a 3ds for the new pokemon but i seriously dislike it considering using it for months! idk why people like that nonsense they gotta be lying for their fanbase! Now on black vs black 2 hmm idk lol not much of a difference other than maybe some diff pokemon!
