Might be unpopular opinion but I honestly think bw are better than b2w2, at least as standalone titles. The fact that it doesn't have any older gen mons makes it feel completely separate from the rest of the games in a good way. It refreshing to have a whole pokemon game with its own Pokemon, awesome character designs and music and more devloped characters and story.

And gen 5 ( we're sorry for bashing the game before please give us a real story again gamefreak!).

Gen 4 well I didn't really play this one so I'll keep my mouth shut seems to get some love tho and Cynthia is still sung in legends so there's that. Gen 6 not too bad, understandable that they brought kanto back as it was their anniversary but the fact that the regional starters didn't get mega evolutions but 2 other gens starters did is kinda scary( did any kalos Pokemon get a mega evolution?) Gen 7 I mean I also didn't play this one but I like the concepts with necrozma being like the evil alien that threatens the world and then a whole other dimension and all that stuff was kinda cool sounding. And then gen 8 👀🚶🏿🚶🏿🚶🏿🚶🏿. Gamefreak are trying new things now but because black and white failed to meet expectations we can expect to wait 4-5 years for them to slowly make changes that they could have made in just one game cause the higher ups are definitely not pouring any more money into the games till they can be sure people will love it. Till then tho y'all better be expecting to see charizard a few more times and I'll beat my chest and say you'll see a new form or something of charizard before you'll see samurott, meganium, empoleon, serperior, emboar, infernape and a bunch of other starters smell the air of a new game.

I grew up with my first journey in Black on my 11th birthday. Imy second journey was also in Unova 2 years later. My first Pokémon that I laid eyes on in my room in Nuvema Town, that Oshawott is now a Samurott and now rests alongside me in the Alola Region. I have since journeyed through Kalos, Hoenn, Alola (twice) and now Galar. As I get ready for my next journey in Sinnoh I still always make sure give my Samurott a hug goodbye while he waits in the Poképelago for my eventual return. I may have left Nuvema Town a decade ago now, but as far as I'm concerned, where ever Samurott and all my other Pokémon are, that's where I'm truly at home. ☺️🏠
