It's not underrated anymore, it's become the defacto answer for what the best Pokemon game is, along with every video about Unova having comments like these
The 5th generation of Pokemon is probably the most ambitious generation in the entire franchise, and I'm so sad that it wasn't admired for that when it was released. I hope the remake, if any, will live up to the ambition of the developers and artists who created the original game.
I hope it doesn't have to be remade, at least considering the outcry towards BDSP removing quality-of-life features introduced within its own generation, not counting post-G4 updates. Even one of the bugged abilities in DP was brought back.
After BDSP, Remakes are the worse thing the fandom can ask The literally killed any hype for the so waited Gen 4 remakes, LA was the only thing that came from it
Personally I'd rather not have a remake than have a remake as lazy as Diamond and Pearl. But if we could have a remake with graphics like Octopath Traveler, I would be so happy
my favorite little change in bw2 is that N looks genuinely happy during his sprite, which reflects his change in the previous game. His encounter theme is also happier, again showing the change he went through. He just seems happier in this game now that Ghetsis isn’t really controlling him like a puppet on a string. I like that.
This cool sort of pixel-based puppet animation is so dang delightful. I remember being downright shocked when I saw that EVERY SINGLE POKEMON was animated, truly felt like the future. I hope that everybody who worked so hard on Gen 5 finds out that their work has become the fan-favorite cornerstone of the series. Special mentions to the Jugglers and Burgh.
I can't believe both games received so many criticisms when they were released. I mean, how often can you travel to this big metropolitan city by walking through a massive bridge or have your character star in movies in a pokemon game? The pokemon designs weren't all bad either, some are very memorable for good reasons in fact. The music were superb as well, the remixes were spot on and many of the original soundtracks are certified bangers.
Can't blame the critics for not paying attention to this masterpiece, that's why every pokemon game after black and white started going downhill. If only they took their time in reviewing all the contents this version has given us maybe then they'll start to love this version.
They were severely criticized due to being released when the 3DS was already out. It was the first generation to be released in the same system without an impressive graphics and technical improvement.

@@stickanimationsyt477 it is not okay. why play a RPG if you don’t want attention to detail and exploring a new world with nuance. just play an action game
I love the Unova games, they're so detailed, so much lore and backstory, awesome characters and the story is easily the best in the franchise. Edit: Scarlet and Violet may have optimization problems, but i loved the story, i got Violet and made me like Miraidon so much, it is probably the sweetest robotic bike lizard with emotions ever, the story was so good, my second favorite now after Black/White of course.
I actually agree that SV is the first time in many many years I've actually enjoyed a Pokemon game. SwSh was half-baked and XY barely qualified as fun, with no memorable rivals.
@@aokyoutsuki7744 He most likely fell through an Ultra Wormhole, as going through one without the necessary equipment and Pokemon can cause one to be transported trough time and space randomly, as well as losing their memories.
There is so much love poured into Unova. This game was truly about diversity and co-existence in ideals, cultures, and truths. In just the trainer sprites alone, you can see how much fun the developers were having in making these expressions. Not a single one of these sprites are lazy.
I've been noticing for a while now that Pokemon Black and White have been getting some love recently for the past few years now. Not like how they were treated about a decade ago when the first Black and White games came out and people used to talk shit about them all the time, and also because, in gamefreak's case, they sold the least. You know what they say, "It's the small things you gotta appreciate the most." , or, "You won't start appreciating something until it's finally gone."
people finally realize how much effort and love Game Freak put into Gen5 and they brushed it off when it's out back then for a petty reason, like linear map, ugly mons (Trubbish and Vanillite esp), no prev gens' mons before post-game content (tho they fixed it in B2W2)
I just love how lively all the sprites are!. And both the tournament animating all of the gym leaders and champions up to date and the bizarre ideas of pokestudios are of favorite sprites the games had brought
I don't know if it was intentional but I'm just now realizing all these years later, the "Serizawa" is a reference to the actor Ishiro Serizawa, one of the main characters in the Legendary Godzilla franchise. So cool he sends out Mecha Tyranitar too!
I find it funny how this was the only Pokémon game on the DS that had 3D battle arenas and could make whatever set pieces they wanted to battle on and they exclusively used that ability for pokestar studios
The attention to detail, heart and soul this game got still makes me appreciate Gen5 up to this day They're my favorite pokemon games of all time and probably will stay that
I always loved how much detail they have. Just the fact they decided to give each and every single character in the game their own animation is amazing. Btw 12:15 will always be my favorite!
i adore how lively these games are. its so unfortunate they were so underrated and almost hated they were on release. im glad they're finally receiving love after all these years
No one really mentioned that those sound effects of poke balls and pressing buttons are exactly accurate. You must have been found a way to erase the normal games's background music and only kept the sound effects. Super appreciate.
All these years, I didn't know you could fight your old character. That's awesome *- * So N didn't miss his chance to reunite with them when he came back after all.
Those battles were more so pvp battles, since there was a time I was able to battle my friend who had a copy of White 2 with my copy of Black 1(I don't think Nate nor Rosa have any unique sprites from the pov of someone playing the oroginal bw games)
the pokestar studios definitely was a unqiue one. most of the irregular trainer sprites and Pokémon sprites felt great and honestly a bit spooky at times. you can also tell how much they push the capabilities of it too. which it was much more bigger because it could've been even more fun. I wish they brought back sprite themed games because having things like this gives it a good charm.
Fun fact: everybody is important trainers because they help you leveling up your pokemon just by battling them and they give you their life savings when you defeated them
I’m almost convinced that half of all people complaining about the current games skipped out on gen 5 because the graphics or the Pokédex or something stupid, never knowing that Pokémon had started moving in such a fantastic direction😂
I know what you mean, but it's the opposite. The people complaining about recent games most likely played gen 5, and gen 4, and all the gens before that. You have to truly care about the franchise to wish the best for it. Meanwhile, those who only started playing since gen 6+ sadly never got to experience how good gen 5 was, which is why they happily accept the garbage we now get. Their standards are already low.
@@catscanhavelittleasalami that is probably a more correct assumption. I was going mostly off of the sales numbers for gen 5 which were abysmal compared to all the games that followed
There was absolutely no reason the pokestar studios trainer animations went as hard as they did. Tbh though I am genuinely glad they did, they're such amazing sprite references
You can tell there was so much love put into these games and that’s what stuck with me since their release; Trainer animations, lots of Pokémon to choose from and raise, and the sheer amount of side content (the Medals, Pokestar Studios, Join Avenue, Musicals, the battle facilities).
