i really loved how there were more explorable towns in the postgame, like you also mentioned in the video it also just gives closure on the story and stuff
I think it’s funny you mentioned catching more Legendaries but showed footage of Volcarona As a kid I always thought it was a legendary but it’s just a normal guy
I thought someone might pick up on that lmao. I didn't record myself catching Terrakion or Cobalion so I just stuck in the one static encounter I did have footage of 👀😅 Volcarona can be an honorary legendary for this video!
Gen 4 fans will always disagree but the reason so many people skipped Gen 5 initially is because Gen 4 burnt them out. They’re fine games, but so long and kinda meh at parts that when they announced Gen 5 people were tired. Everyone that started with Gen 4 still had the energy to keep going, but for anyone that started before Gen 4 got grounded to a halt. Plus finding out it was a third fire/fighting starter in a row definitely left a bad taste in their mouth before they could even consider playing a game with all new pokemon. It was just the burn out from Gen 4 that people instead associated with Gen 5. Luckily a lot of people have come around and realized Gen 5 was probably one of the best gens or at least most solid gens
@@Attackplaya too true, I came back to them years later due to having a bit of time from Covid and nuzlockes. I didn’t even remember them being advertised in the UK.
This games are just nostalgia sweeted, only people who like those are who started with them, best post game is HG/SS , black and white just got unlucky to being the game that came after those 2 games
Black and White's post-game is a great time! I was also surprised as a kid by just how much there was to do here, and even with everything you covered, there's still some things you missed out on, like battling Gamefreak's Morimoto in Castelia, catching Hidden Ability Musharna in the underground of the Dreamyard, and Hidden Ability Darmanitan in the desert, and even a few legendaries like Landorus! As for Bianca, I *believe* you can fight her on weekends, but because of her work she may only be available at nighttime? And you have to have beaten Alder, but you've done that. Glad you returned to see the rest of what Unova has to offer, Black/White and Black2/White2 have some of the best postgames imo, up there with GSC/HGSS (even if BW2's requires a lot of unnecessary faffing) (hope people don't get mad about you saying "catching more legendaries" with volcarona on screen 💀 guys come on, who hasn't made THAT mistake)
In regards to Bianca I found this on Bulbapedia: After the player has defeated Alder twice, she will be around to battle them on weekends in Nuvema Town.
Black and White 2 post game is absolutely amazing, i promise you will really enjoy the sequels aswell. So many new areas aswell. You will find yourself lost for words at the changes.
The Abyssal Ruins have a step limit, so not everything can be collected in one go, but getting everything there is well worth it. All the relic items from there can be sold for over one million. As for how to get through it, that's a bit difficult. There first floor's exit is at the middle and must be reached fast enough to be opened. The second and third floors require HM moves Strength and Flash to be used against certain wall blocks to move them. The most valuable relic item is located on the top floor and sells for a crazy amount of cash. Fun fact: this place actually serves as a minor side quest during the post-game of B2W2, in case you haven't done it there yet, giving you some interesting background lore regarding N.
As a child, I always thought the postgame felt empty. Considering my first game was soulsilver, it makes sense. There was no huge climax like Red was. The tease that N had been spotted somewhere far away drove me nuts, I felt like there HAD to be something more
I love emerald and platinum as much as everyone else but seriously, white will be my favorite game of all time forever. The whole new pokemon, massive new region, many legendaries, and great postgame. Really a great game

@@AbracorGl they’re 150+ I’d suggest getting a rom cart and transfer your current save onto it then start a new game. You can always re upload your original save file if u wanted to
Fun fact about the Kyurem, in case anyone didn’t know that Kyurem is not shiny locked and I know because back in my playthrough i didn’t have enough poke balls and with the legendary catch rate you can guess how it went. And I reseted enough times that eventually I managed to get a shiny Kyurem but unfortunately I lost that copy of White but when I have enough money I’ll buy another copy and attempt it again.
The village bridge boasts a wonderful musical group. The four musicians of village bridge start introducing their own part of the song as you speak to them. By the basketball court, under the bridge, on the bridge and in the top right near the dark grass. You should try it yourself, I for one absolutely love this musical mini easter egg!
one of my favourite things to do in white and white 2 (that was the edition i had) was to battle my way up the big tree in the white forest. that was the biggest challenge i ever had on a pokémon game and i loved it
As far as growing up on b&w2 we were def right saying they were better cuz I also recently played through this postgame and still somehow felt underwhelmed😂
Something interesting about BWs postgame that I've not heard many people talk about is how much of a jump in levels the trainer fights have you go from fighting N and Ghetsis who have pokemon in the low to mid 50s to the average trainer being around mid 60s. I actually think this was a very intentional decision on Gamefreak's part however, as a way to encourage new players who may have started with Gen 5 to try out the old gen pokemon that became available, as a lot of those new encounters can be caught around the same levels as the trainers, giving players an easy way to bridge the gap. Or maybe I'm just overthinking it idk.
I grew up as a fan of pokemon (I'm 24 now) and my first ever pokemon game was Pokemon Black. I have Gen 5 in a special place in my heart because I have so many fond memories and fun learning the pokemon games and getting that special experience as Gen 5 as my first ever pokemon game. I got the game back when it was released when I was around 11-12 years old for my birthday I love this game so much and still play it today. I just hope the Gen 5 remakes coming in 26 will be just as good as the original and done right. Current Pokemon games are almost too far away from what they should be and the quality is terrible. Gen 5 remakes better not suffer this fate or I'll be so disappointed with Nintendo and Game Freak
When I played it I saw a shiny kyurem (they forgot to shiny lock kyurem) When I threw my master ball the game crashed..... It was the only time the game crashed before that
Who at Gamefreak was behind the level curve of the Trainers you fight after Ghetsis? By the time I had reached to N, all my Pokémon were in the mid Lv 40s. Once I started the post game, most of my Pokémon hadn't even made it to Lv 50 yet, and suddenly, I'm fighting Trainers with Pokémon in the mid Lv 60s.
I think I had about 400 hours in my first save. I remember this game to being the first thing that kept me hooked for so long. And it also was around release when not a whole bunch of people thought this was among the best pokemon games. However I must say after about 200 hours I just had my same routine of battleing repeatable trainers to get my mons to lvl. 100. Hall of Fame was achieved about 10 times with different teams. Good Childhood memories
I remember playing through some of the post game. I caught Kyurem and I think I accidently stumbled upon Cynthia LOL. Don't quite remember the sage part though, might have to boot up the game and see for myself
honestly it's fine for the story but it's really lacking anything to give it longevity besides the super trains on the battle subway. you visit each town once or twice and talk to the sages and then you don't have any reason to go back to those places. going back after b2w2 there's no PWT, no white treehollow, no join avenue, and like half as many pokemon to catch and areas to run around in. you get maybe 5-10 hours of content and then you may as well just move on to the second game
@@carlitosdinkler5213 it's called "linking r". It's a feature of many british accents. He's not saying "team plasmer", in fact he said "team plasma" but added an "r" because the following word starts with a vowel.
I'll be honest, Black and White were my least favourite game. So I didn't do much post game content. I left the seven sages be, and then just caught the legendaries, completed the pokedex, and left it at that. I've thought of giving the sequels a play but I haven't played them yet.
@@gamernamedpurple3511 honestly, black 2 and white 2 are like 10 times better minimum. Plus you get access to older gen Pokemon such as riolu in the early game too. You won’t be disappointed with it.
@@dr.trousers6101 Fr. It was one of the most painful things I ever did. But, I had already paid for it so I may as well get my money's worth. And at the very least, I have no hate for the Pokemon from Unova, and once I transferred them I knew I never needed to look back at those god-awful games ever again lmao.
@@gamernamedpurple3511 I enjoy the Black and White games but I have never had the motivation to ever complete a pokedex in a game before. You have my respect. Black and White2 are actually really enjoyable. The start especially. The way the region changes is cool. The inclusion of older generation poekmon throughout the game is awesome. But if you weren't a fan of the first ones, not sure haha. Again, nice work. God bless;)
@@DaRkJ4ck I think the drawings could use an upgrade, but to say they add 0 value I disagree. They help the overall flow of the video and break up content nicely
@@ideji3918 true, i agree with the breaking up of content. but there's better ways to do it than like this. like I said, most of these images just look super over the top and cringe
I know you're speaking about B&W(which i'm glad about btw), but I just wanted to mention how much little content was added in B&W2. A good amount of it though depended on online & passerby features. Which reminds me that I heard something interesting in that they announced the shut down of online services for B&W2 a year (give or take) after launch. Because X&Y was expected to get more attention so who would be playing B&W2 after that right? 🥲 it's a bummer. If we get remakes I hope they keep nintendo's online services going for a good long while. It sucks not being able to get all the medals if you wanted to. I also hope they bring back all of the cool side & post content available in both games if they do remake them...including the medals please! I wish we had collectible achievements in newer games like S&V. I would 100% try to collect them all if available. It can't be too hard to add something in game like that right? I feel like it'd be easier in this day and age to figure out what they are and do the ones that require other people. Though it would be nice to have achievements you can 100% without online and then some that do need others but won't affect you technically collecting all the others. Since you get an achievement medal for collecting all of them, make that one available without online and a different medal for collecting all the online ones. My comment was long sorry but am I alone in wanting achievements in Pokémon games? 😅🎉
More of the passerby content is available in single player than most seem to realize. The entree missions like the item collection challenges can be played single player, you'll just be competing with your own high score as opposed to competing against others - and you'll have a smaller amount of Power boosts available as a result of not connecting with people from another game. The Join Avenue is fully functional solo as well, as the amount of NPCs that visit and want to open shops are reliant on your own achievements in game, they just spawn more frequently with other players. White Forest/Black City is the main thing that hurts without other players, though there is still content there if you finish the game fast enough (the amount of trainers/wild pokemon and items are based on how many days it's been since your last visit + how many other people you've interacted with irl. The countdown starts when you start a new game so if you take weeks to finish the game then they'll be ghost towns until you connect with others). The key system is the other major issue, but that's specific to BW2.
i remember that BW (or B2W2?) allowed you to litearlly check out other players' games' worlds using entralink, but they appeared grayish for some reason and were seemingly empty. imagine if in the potential remakes, there were paradox pokemon appearing in these worlds depending on the game version of the explored world (black has future paradox mons cuz it futuristic, while white has ancient pokemon cuz it's old-timey) after beating the league. that way there would be a reason to actually explore other players' worlds instead of just playing stupid pointless minigames. there would be paradox swords of justice appearing in the same locations where they appear in BW, brute bonett would appear as fake pokeballs on route 11, iron valiant next to nimbasa ferris wheel etc. etc.. i think this could finally resolve what paradox pokemon are like 5+ years after everyone already forgot about them and make the remake appear more fresh since pretty much every game since oras had some plotline about alternate timelines

i remember that BW (or B2W2?) allowed you to litearlly check out other players' games' worlds using entralink, but they appeared grayish for some reason and were seemingly empty. imagine if in the potential remakes, there were paradox pokemon appearing in these worlds depending on the game version of the explored world (black has future paradox mons cuz it futuristic, while white has ancient pokemon cuz it's old-timey) after beating the league. that way there would be a reason to actually explore other players' worlds instead of just playing stupid pointless minigames. there would be paradox swords of justice appearing in the same locations where they appear in BW, brute bonett would appear as fake pokeballs on route 11, iron valiant next to nimbasa ferris wheel etc. etc.. i think this could finally resolve what paradox pokemon are like 5+ years after everyone already forgot about them and make the remake appear more fresh since pretty much every game since oras had some plotline about alternate timelines
