This game is really good, definitely improved on a lot of what the original Black and White lacked. There's a lot more substance to the towns and cities, and there are some places like Driftveil that have drastically improved. Oh yeah, did I mention there's actual post-game content now? Fantastic.
One thing I liked about B/W, though, was that they only let you capture Unova Pokemon until you beat the E4. B/W2 obviously tossed that out the window, but I think it honestly increased the diversity a lot more, and half my team at the end was still 5th Gen Pokes.
For me, B/W2 definitely made this generation a lot better. While mechanics obviously aren't really different, Gamefreak did a fantastic job on improving the little things that held B/W back (Except for re-adding auto-100 online battles...Jesus **** Christ Gamefreak) and adding a lot of stuff that makes replaying this game actually worth it.
Anyways, I'd probably give it an 8.5/10. I dunno if Gamefreak'll ever make a masterpiece like Platinum again, but they're definitely finding the right tools to do so.
Oh yeah, here's my team that beat the Pokemon League:
Lucario
Starmie
Krookodile
Galvantula
Flygon
Bouffalant
