I'm not. Black was really good and all, but in all honesty I'm getting a little bored with the Pokemon RPGs. They've changed almost nothing, the storyline is awful (but who plays Pokemon for the story anyway lol), and it just feels like I'm buying the same game over and over again except with different Pokemon.
I put a good 40 hours into Black. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it a lot, and I loved the new graphic design, with all the new 3D and stuff. However, lately it's been feeling like Nintendo is just chugging out Pokemon games the same way Activision chugs out CoD games: For both franchises, they are still quality titles, but if you've stuck with the franchise since the beginning, at a certain point it feels like you are playing the same game over and over again.
I get this feeling especially with the DS games. Diamond was an amazing game because it was on a new platform and had tons of new hardware and software capabilities. It had all those cool PokeApps that you could use on the touch screen. it was probably one of the best Pokemon games I've played. Then, with Heartgold (and SoulSilver of course), Ninty had the opportunity to make it an even better game than Diamond/Pearl, but they took away many of the features that made the fourth-gen Pokemon games so awesome and unique. There were some some cool new features such as the PokeWalker, but it wasn't anything revolutionary. And then Black. For me, it was a great game, but it seemed like a game that could have been on the GBA. It was a GBA game with pretty graphics. Maybe that's exaggerating a bit, but the new graphic design and the new animated gameplay was enough to convince me to get the game.
With Black/White 2, so far I haven't seen anything unique enough to warrant a purchase from me.
Let's say it was instead launched on the 3DS. The 3D effect alone would probably be enough for me to buy it. But I guess I will just have to wait a while longer until Nintendo does that.
So, that's my rant on why I'm not getting Black 2, like it or not.
And yes, I did compare Pokemon to Call of Duty.
