      a few extra things you didn't mention which I'm not sure you know:
      - You can catch Cresselia on the marvelous bridge after completing the room puzzle at the Strange House and receiving the lunar wing item
      -On Marvelous Bridge, the NPC closest to the Nimbasa entrance will sell you a one time Magikarp for 500 poke dollars
      - In Black 2, the prize for beating Black Tower is a shiny Gible
      - Hidden grottos exist and can be cool for some pokemon with their hidden abilities (really grindy though)
      - In twist mountain, there's an NPC that will give you fossils once everyday
      - Drayden can teach your pokemon Draco Meteor but to my knowledge it's only after beating the league so counts as post game
      - You can battle N after catching the box legend and Kyurem (his teams will vary with the seasons)
      - In Icirrus City, there's a tiny plot line where the Shadow Triad want to test you themselves
      - There's a little story line regarding Anville Town and Nimbasa City where a girl loses her elemental monkey and you have to speak to the captain to have it returned to her
      - The entirety of the Abyssal Ruins in Undella Bay (it's a cryptic story + the plates for Arceus + basically money farming)
      There are some things I missed but these are the most noteworthy ones imo

    In addition to the things other people have mentioned, if you have seen every Pokemon in the Unova Dex, you can fly to a new location called the Nature Preserve, which is kind of cool. Just some patches of grass and some items, but the big thing is a one-time encounter with a shiny Haxorus. Pretty cool reward imo that's not just a pat on the back or a TM.

    For more sidequests that are neat, as always,
    -the underwater ruins near undella town are so interesting to swim through(still think it's a wasted opportunity to not have something like manaphy there in reference to that one movie),
    - you can find the "cave of being" on route 20((you need surf and waterfall) it's a super cool place and I won't spoil what you'll find there),
    - in the clay tunnel you can find the underground ruins which are great for nostalgic people(also harbors legendary pokemon)
    - If you return to the strange house, you can find a ghost girl that was searching for the lunar feather, which you can take to Marvelous Bridge for another legendary encounter
    - on route 18 you can meet another gen 4 character that'll give you the magma stone, if you take it to Reversal Mountain you can encounter yet another legendary
    - on the plasma frigate you can re match collress .
    Can't think of different things off the top of my head but there's more

  • @jaernihiltheus7817
    @jaernihiltheus7817 2 місяці тому +5

    So there's even more post game if you have both Black 2 and White 2 (or know someone with the opposite cartidge). In the games there's a Key system, which you can use to share "Keys" with the other game.
    So once you beat Benga, you unlock the Black or White Key (depending on the game), then you can share it with the opposite game and explore, say, White Forest in Black 2 and Black City in White 2. Even challenging White Treehollow in Black 2 and Black Tower in White 2 - getting the other shiny after beating that Benga.
    You can do the same with the Regis. Everyone starts with Regirock, and after catching it, you unlock a Key for either Regice or Registeel. After sharing Keys to catch all three, you can catch Regigigas.
    I know you're not a fan of battling, but don't skip out on the Pokemon World Tournament! After beating the game, you get access to the "Leaders" brackets. Kanto Leaders lets you battle the Kanto Gym Leaders (Janine in place of Koga since he's an Elite Four now), Johto Leaders for Johto Gym Leaders, Hoenn for Hoenn, Sinnoh for Sinnoh, and Unova for Unova. Once you beat all four you get to unlock a Champion's bracket and can rematch the likes of Red, Steven, Lance, and Cynthia. Even Giovanni shows back up. Outside of the Elite Fours - which sadly don't make an appearance - it truly is an "EVERYONE IS HERE" mode. You can even battle Tate & Liza individually lol.
    There's also side quests, some of which can be done during the main game, such as the Abandoned House/Cresselia quest, the Idol shipping quest, the JILTed quest, the Join Avenue "Tycoon" style minigame, revisiting Liberty Garden (location of the BW1 Victini quest that was download only), traveling on the Royal Unova, Abyssal Ruins, the Heatran/Magma Stone quest, the Frigate quest, etc etc. Like in BW1, you can even trade Pokemon with certain NPCs and then battle them while they used the Pokemon you traded! There is genuinely so much post game & side content that it blows every other Pokemon game out of the water - even HGSS (HGSS might have another region, but BW2's single region has enough content for 3).

    My "radical" opinion is that they should dedicate a whole generation to Unova Remakes. So for instance, Gen 10 or Gen 11 Wouldn't have a "new" region, but rather a dedicated generation to remake the Gen 5 games. This will never happen, but imo it would be the best way to remake them and not sacrifice any original content.

    • @kmdreacts
      @kmdreacts 2 місяці тому +5

      Definitely agree, but not as remake but as past regions some 10-15yrs later perhaps.
      With new routes and caves, new towns while older towns became cities etc.

    • @ty_ie
      @ty_ie 8 днів тому +1

      They could possibly do this by just making Gen 10 another USA region (obv California, which is also where the next 2 worlds events are taking place) That way its a Unova adjacent region (like sinnoh and hoenn are) full new dex and then unova "remakes" (black and white 3). thats my hope at least

    • @josh1068
      @josh1068 8 днів тому

    The hatred for the Unova Monkeys has definitely been one of the weirder fan consensuses I've seen as I've been getting back into Pokémon. They're not my favorite designs or anything but I think they're pretty cute.
    I also seem to be one of the very few Delphox defenders. It's my personal favorite design. I can sort of see why some people might not like the ear hair but it doesn't bother me and I love everything else about it.

    I really appreciate watching people with different play styles reflect on how they interact with the game. I seem to be the exact opposite of you, in the sense that I've never cared much about the villain team, and am much more interested in challenging post game battles (with a healthy side of further exploration of the region). That being said...
    HOW COULD YOU NOT EVEN BRING UP THE WORLD TOURNAMENT, MY GLOB! B2W2 are the only games where you can literally battle ALL of the gym leaders, elite 4 members, champions, and important characters from all the past generations. Such an amazing feature, and I'm sad that we'll probably never see it again.
