B&W Holds a special place. I was a senior in 2011 and a lot of us were playing. I remember some not liking the camera, animations and dex but I did. I used the crap out the event Victini. I think these games and possibly HGSS are the fine wines of the franchise. It was so good I hardly noticed I was using only Gen 5 mons because I quickly found favs like Haxorus, Golurk, Eelektross , Bisharp and Beartic. And getting to the post game to see familiar favs UNLOCKED, NOT BOUGHT, was so refreshing. They peaked at Gen 5.
Gen 5 is legendary, i played white as a kid but never played Black 2 but i am in the middle of a play through of black 2 after buying a copy during COVID before the price skyrocketed beyond a reasonable price. Me and my best friend are doing a joint play through via discord calls and it's been a lot of fun.
agreed, these games are the best it's a shame they didn't sell as many copies as other games, I recently beat the pokemon volt white 2 mod and it's great
Gene 5 is my favorite generation of Pokemon. The story, the graphics, the seasons, and the music! OH THE MUSIC HITS HARD!!! Love how hard the post game was in Black & White. Loved how I accidently enter a home in post game and saw Cynthia and she battled me on the spot with her CRAZY strong team!!! Loved how Black 2 & White 2 had that special tournament thing in Driveil City [5th Gym area] where you can battle all Generations 1 - 4's gym leaders and past championships with their respective theme music! That alone was worth the price of Black 2 and White 2! I get made fun of for loving gene 5 but dont care! Gene 5 was an amazing generation!!! Nothing has come close to generation 5 for me. Thank you for posting this video! It was great hearing another person talk about how great gene 5 was.
Your supposed to get black then black 2 that’s why you get the white legendary in black 1 and black legendary in white 1 that way you can get both legendaries
white 2 was my first pokemon video game, so i know im biased and always will be, but even putting that aside, these games have a lot going for them. the animations of the sprites are sooo cool, and i love stuff like the skyarrow bridge when you walk on it, how the camera pans and has different angles at different spots on the bridge. and i dont remember what its called but theres that one underwater tunnel that was really cool too i remember. and then music of the game is so varied and sounds like a lot of love was put into it. i was pretty young when this gen was the new thing, so i wasnt there personally, but i know that when these games came out people werent all that happy about it. i dont blame them, it was a big change going into black and white. but im glad people are looking back and enjoying these games, even if they didnt before. warms my heart. really liked your video, thank you for sharing your thoughts :) i hope you enjoy mine as well
Gens 1-6 are the peak of Pokemon really. Black/White and Black/White 2 are somenof the best games in the series! I think Heartgold/SoulSilver, and Platinum and Emerald and FR/LG are up there too
Back then this was where I fell off Pokémon for some time , X and Y were made for older fans like me and they brought me back XY chi . BW back then wasn’t so hype but nowadays I realise they were the most complete and quality cared for games
Spent the year going through all the gba and ds Pokémon games. Currently on White 2 and it’s still the goat! The animated sprites and weather effects really bring the game to life. Only part I don’t like is how they force you to interact with the movie studio. Other than that it’s perfect.
Cool video bro. make me want to play black 2 i only have done black 1 like 3 years ago. i think its one of the best Pokemon if its not the best. I really love Gen 3-4-5 because of nostalgia :)
not a single lie told, fans really this game down and i think the initial reception to the game steered the pokemon company to make games with less depth
Back in the day, people didn't like BW/5th gen, I didn't either, they were "ok" pokemon games but just weren't good compared to previous gens (They felt like they changed too much), even to this day I just don't care for them, the single thing I did like about them was RNGing in them since it was so easy (Although BW2 ruined that). It was only these past few years people that all of the sudden people started saying they liked them, probably because of how bad 7th and 8th gen were and how bad 9th gen performed at times (FPS can drop off a cliff at certain areas in the game or if just left on too long).
@@tpf92 for me I've always liked these games and I didn't really understand why people hated them so much but I understand why people don't like it as much as older generations

14 years later almost and they're still great games

It was because piracy was rampant on DS, in fact, they sold pretty well compared to other late DS games

4,5, and 6 are the peak, really. With 5 being the peak amongst those
@@tothemax0729 Id say 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 actually

Alot of people start nowadays to get nostalgic about gen 5
@@damianrogowski5519 crazy to think those games came out over 10 years ago and the ds is 20 years old now

Im doing the first six gend and stopping after that
thanks for uploading

Gen 2 deserves love too.
@@shewolfcub3 yes and gen 2 starter look so cool
Pokemon black sounds so opium I just remember Oshawott which was pretty cool
Are you using filters like TWPatch ones? And if so which ones?
@@StarComrade26 no my 3ds is unmodded
@@Jimmylikehalo I see, thanks.
B&W had a soft lock bug for double and triple battles if both Pokemon faint at the same time.
B2&W2 is way better though I didn't get it because B&W.
i lik ur carpet
@@heres_the_sauce it's a very nice carpet 🤣
Not "some of," B/W is the best Gen ever for many reasons. Pokemon needs to return to 2D.
not a single lie told, fans really this game down and i think the initial reception to the game steered the pokemon company to make games with less depth
Actually Black2 and white 2 rom hacks - Pokemon Volt White Redux and Blaze Black Redux.
Please don’t hate me for saying this but I don’t really care much for these games. I think most of it is the Pokémon in the games.
@@skyshunts that's fair I definitely think gen 5 has some weaker pokemon compared to others
