They're still good games, but there's nothing overtly special about them that makes them stand out from the rest of the series or, more importantly, Black and White 1.

Like the first game, Pokémon Black: Version 2 is a solid title that most fans will enjoy. The addictive qualities remain, and partaking in the quest to meet and capture every Pokémon is still as exciting as it was several handheld generations ago. While the base game is still great, longtime fans will be less enthused by the restrictions, despite the many improvements and included modes. For those looking for their next series fix, this entry will do nicely.

+ Obwohl es auf der gleichen Karte wie Schwarz & Weiss 1 spielt, hat es viele Neuerungen + Neue / spannende Arenen+ Dieses mal auch wieder klar, wohin man gehen muss, um der Hauptstory zu folgen + schöne verschiedene Gebiete
+ Nach der Hauptstory gibt es noch viele Sachen zu tun - Die Beschäftigungen abseits der Hauptquests sind überhaupt nichts für mich, wie z. B. Filme drehen
- Es hat insgesamt doch einen merklichen Repetitionsfaktor

Se alimenta mucho de su primeras versiones, lo cual es algo entenible, aún así se sienten diferentes y con muchas novedades respecto a sus versiones anteriores. Muy buenos juegos.

Pokémon Black Version 2 is far more than a traditional mid-generation release, with enough new and repurposed content to keep you occupied for months on end.

Black and White 2 offers a compelling record of all that's great from 16 years of catching, collecting, collating and coaxing pocket monsters into ever more exciting forms, bit by wonderful bit.

For some reason, Pokemon black & white 2 can be the notorious best expanding of an region and be accused to be more of same. Best post game. Better than Battle frontier BTW

Yes, it's as excellent as ever, but it doesn't strive to eclipse its predecessor. The poorly paced plot and lack of freshness leads me to believe the original may be better. Black 2 is fully worth a purchase, but beating the game only left me wanting more, and not in a good way.

I want to find 'em all, catch 'em all and train 'em all. But on the other side I dread the level grind, the shallow role-playing and the rocky online connectivity. Then again you get solid and motivating entertainment over weeks, months, if not years. But I am not as euphoric as I thought I should be.

They still do too little to attract non-fans to the series, but for the vast crowd who have already been taken in by its charms, B&W2 will be yet another excuse to catch 'em all.

If you are an avid Pokémon fan, what you get with Black & White Version 2 is a true Pokémon experience.

This one really is the peak of Pokemon, Game Freak never successfully made a game as good as this one, I have nothing negative to say about the game, this is as close to perfection a Pokemon game can be

Beloved by tamagotchi obsessives and those with the collector gene but this combat-based RPG lite bored me to tears. For me, Pokémon is one of those series in the "I don't get it" file.

While the story is still great, is just a carbon copy of the original Black and White, without any new Pokemon, the same HUD, combat and not even a single flaw of the original was fixed, we have still the same exp system, the slow pacing, excessive grinding, bad level curve for battles, bad designs and repetitive gameplay and overall lack of innovation. One of the worst Pokemon games ever made imo.
SummaryIn the Pokemon Black Version 2 game, players can explore new areas, discover gyms with new leaders and see how everything has changed in the last two years.
