Pokémon White 2 is situated in an awkward marketing category. It's mechanically more interesting than its predecessor games, Pokemon Black and White, but the changes aren't so unique the entire game doesn't feel like a retread of a retread. However, the story is a continuation of Pokémon Black and White. Players who cynically (or wisely) waited for this release to try the fifth generation Pokémon games are tossed into the middle of the Unova region's conflict with Team Plasma. After splintering two years ago, part of this band of pokémon-stealing ruffians is back to steal more pokémon. Reading a summary of the major players in Team Plasma, including Ghestis and N, is necessary to understand the politics of the major players. However, even with this background knowledge, the story's a miserable distraction from the still-entertaining gameplay. The best way to enjoy this game is to plow through the main story, defeat Unova's pokémon champion, and feast upon the abundant post-game content.
Pokémon Black & White may be some people's favourite games in the franchise, but they also started some bad trends.
Written by Aaron Daniels - Pokemon games are like flavours of crisp; everybody has a favourite and least favourite, there’s absolutely no consensus on which is best or worst, and debates on the subject get more heated than a McDonald’s Apple Pie on the surface of the sun. Unlike crisps however, where everybody who chooses cheese and onion over anything else is clearly on hallucinogens and requires an intervention from their friends and family, there’s at least some wiggle room for appreciating every Pokemon game on their own merits.
