The Dark Souls 2 of Pokemon
>>58258491I don't know what this means, I dropped DS1
Kino?
>a great game with SOVL that's just different enough to piss off the unwashed masses of the fanbaseSounds abiut right
>>58258496DS2 is the best one
I want to pick up bw2, do I need to play the OG bw?
>>58258511If care about story yes
>>58258491usum is unironically more difficulteven b2w2 is more difficult
>>58258529None of these games are difficult, except gen 1 but that was more fighting the game's programming
>>58258511BW2 has story continuations but you could more or less piece it together, especially if you talk to NPCs.However, I would note BW2's campaign skips notable locations that BW features pretty prominently, and while it adds it's own extra areas, BW's Unova is the one I think of when I think of Unova.Not saying you can't start with BW2, there's plenty of reasons it's better than BW, I just think BW represents Unova a little better.
>>58258541No. That it's a great game that gets a lot of hate for being different. Many will say it's underrated and gets referenced a bunch in later games.
Gen 5 killed Pokemania
>>58258511BW is boring as fuck during the early game, it gets a bit more interesting when you reach Castelia but only really take off at Nimbasa. BW2 has a better early game with more options for your team.
>>58258561Even if you want to say it somehow survived after Gen 2 it almost certainly died (again) with DP
>>58258552>that gets a lot of hate for being differentdifferent how
>>58258582The fact it was the first gen with no old Pokémon until post game, many maps were more linear and being the first story to focus on story.
>>58258595>It was the first gen with no old pokemon until you start seeing old pokemonoh so it's not different at all then>many maps were more linearoh so it was worse then>and being the first story to focus on storyfocus on story how
>>58258599>oh so it's not different at all thenIt is different. You don't see old mons until after most people put the game down (after the credits) every other game has at least one oldmon by the second gym.>oh so it was worse thenNo it was better, every area had some sort of secret. Could be another area, a secret wild encounter or a section with rare items.>focus on story howIt just had more aside from "collect badges". They clearly tried to deviate from the usually formula.
>>58258569numbers went up with gen iv doh dummy
>>58258491stop spamming these gay threads faggot
>>58258541i don't think you played dark souls 2
>>58258569>with DPlmaoIt's Japan's favorite game.
>>58258684because they never finished it as mt coronet was too hard and they never find out how shitty it actually is.
>>58258621All the best games in the series selling so much worse is a crime, at least HGSS did decently6 million is a lot of course, but for pokemon it’s bad evidently
>>58258621this graph shows pokemania died with RS
>>58258502Shit take as expected for a bort
The fact there's still retards here pretending bw are shit is actually sad. Imagine still crying about a game that's 15 years old, thats one of the better games in the series. Fucking pathetic.
>>58258713Pokemania died when Gold & Silver sold 1/3 less than Red & Blue. The amount however is arbitrary considering it failed to capitalize on hype and outsell its predecessor in the first place. Gen II is a failure and hurt Gen III's sales.
