I'll be honest, I'm astonished they didn't simply put out Grey. Either way, I'm pretty hyped for this and I'm really hoping these two games improve B/W like Emerald and Platinum did with their respective generations. God knows B/W need improvement where post-game content and online options are concerned, at the very least.

When I heard of this, I told my friends while laughing.
When they heard of it, they cried.

First official squeal, yup. XD

I was surprised how there was a sequel instead of just Grey, but it's finally something different, lol.

Honestly, I'm interested in knowing how different these games will be to B1&W1, compared to D/P to Platinum. I'm honestly hoping they mix up the gym leaders a bit, and perhaps expand Unova.

It'd also be nice if they made it easier to get DW abilities. Those little mini-games are nice for kids, but for older players it's just.....ugh.

Basically everything and a half was leaked today. Right down to returning Gym Leaders/E4/Champ/"guest" battles, certain Legendaries/story elements, Move Tutors, Wild Pokemon, and the rumor of a way to change the difficulty of the AI post-game. I'm actually weirded out by some of the changes, but still mostly hyped.

My cousin let me borrow his 3DS, I managed to get to Burgh's Gym. Neglected to mention I'm doing a blind/underleveled Nuzlocke.

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

I got a DW Stunfisk and Sandshrew so far. My computer lagged or else I'd have a 3rd by now. I barely beat Cheren due to being underleveled/not using Genesect or trading anything in. You pretty much have to grind your ass off this time around, a few Audino isn't going to cut it.

My Nuzlocke had the most anticlimactic ending ever. I swept Iris with a Scrafty that I hadn't used since Elesa. Pretty much lost only one to Shauntal.

Ah well. Final Team:
Galvantula (DW, died)
Scrafty (Moxie rape)
Weavile (DW)
Golurk
Zangoose (Hidden Grotto)
Serperior

Aaaaaaaaand might as well say do want in here.
