People who just got into the series

Yeah it still doesn't make sense for someone whos just getting into the series to start off with a sequal and go backwards kind of fucks them up in that sense. I would allways suggest somebody to start off with the original game.

No. Especially not in the middle of a generation.

Well i was saying for nextgen but ok...

Well I've done it plenty of times with all kinds of things, hell just look at the professor Layton series where the first game chronologically was the fourth game, not to mention that I saw Eternal Diva before playing any of the games. Plus, let's not forget the fact that characters from the first 3 games make various appearances in the london life game. Not to mention that it happens all the time for me in various other forms of media, from books, movies, and shows. Sure its confusing at first when you lack some of that prior knowledge, but if you enjoy it in the end, then really who gives a shit?

How does it not make sense?

I don't see how it would screw them up in the chronology. Like others said, all the events of BW could be summarized in a small preface or in the manual of the game booklet without removing any of the core details of the first game, allowing BW2 to kick off without padding the beginning with exposition.

Some people are going to have enough money for just one game. Asking them to stay behind the current games by getting the 18 month old prequel when they want BW2 is a disservice to them

Well i was saying for nextgen but ok...

You used "finally" in your advocate for the level increase, which implies you wanted it done immediately, i.e. in BW2. Small misunderstanding.

[goku262002]

Well in my sense that unless the story is a chronological whackjob like how MGS3 is the first while MGS1 is the sixth i feel that you should start with the first title then move on with the second. its not like B&W is going to die off the second B&W2 releases hell it will get a major price drop first.

It was just a random thought anyways.

[Johnny Boy]

So bonafide sequels eh? Cool! I hope Ghetsis makes a comeback. He was an awesome villain.

This new Keldeo movie is going to have an awesome plot.

I don't like his Reshiram form.
Then again, I never liked Reshiram :V.
Zekrom form looks kick ass though.

[VizardJeffhog]

Hello sexies!

[ProfessorZolo]

Hmm... ZeKyurem looks better on the packshot, but its arm is still freakishly oversized. I much prefer ReKyurem.

...Which is odd, and and yet fitting at the same time- I preferred Zekrom, and he was in White, and now I prefer the Reshiram fusion, and that too is in White.

[Azure Yakuzu]

I still say they look like a massive clusterfuck, the good kind of clusterfuck though.

[VizardJeffhog]

Wait, seeing as they are sequels to Black and White and that the opposite mascot, the one N had in the previous instalment, is now on the cover with Kyurem fused...

...oh shit, did something happen to N? o_o

[Blue Blood]

...oh shit, did something happen to N? o_o

Maybe he stopped being a boring and clichéd character?!

No seriously, N was lame. I don't understand all the fuss he gets.

[Octarine]

I don't care much about N either way, but I can't imagine him not showing up in B&W2 and somehow being integral to the Kyurem fusion thing. I do hope we see Ghetsis again, though; he wasn't massively compelling either, but I can't not love a guy who walks around wearing a castle.

The fused mascots are kind of a mess, but I still hold them a little above Dialga and Palkia for at least having the excuse of literally being several monsters mushed together. I also love those big dumb colourful 2s (those had better be in the English logos, dammit), so I guess Diamond and Pearl get to keep the coveted least-appealing-Pokémon-boxart award for now.

[Azure Yakuzu]

No seriously, N was lame. I don't understand all the fuss he gets.

Considering he's the most developed character in a franchise that usually says "fuck all" to their characters, he's kind of a big deal. Plus, he's a bishonen with a tragic backstory, fangirls eat that shit up.

I don't particularly care for N myself, but I appreciate that they at least tried to make the game a bit more developed.

He got eaten by this Kyurem fused dragon.

Also I'm still wondering how they will do the Kyurem forms' typing. And I'm wondering if there will be a Zekrom and Reshiram fusion as well.

Dammit Nintendo why don't you answer all these questions? D:

Tried but unfortunately it was the same plot we've have since RSE only slightly deeper. I have confidence that BW2, being sequels, will be properly interesting.

I haven't realized this until you brought it up. This now is starting to catch my interest. Since it is really odd(not really) that the B/W has the legendaries in opposite backgrounds and now they are in their original backgrounds.
