Well, we can't have Something Awful translating every game...
I actually quite liked BW's localizations, especially the names. It seems as though they actually took fan feedback into consideration while naming the Gen V 'mons.

Persona 4 localization team should do EVERY game ever. Period.

I agree. Ever since they changed localization teams, the dialogue has been awfully stilted. Such a shame. :/

Wow! Some other people played Shadows of Almia! The mechanic was a bit weird, and the companion pokemon powers were almost all unneeded, but yeah it was a cute story.
Love this series. Yes it's a bit easy, and a harder difficulty would have been nice, but it had a good amount of content and a fun story to zip through.

I don't even know what I'm gonna use for a team this time. I try not to use the same Pokémon each time but I don't really care for Tepig
I never plan my teams, but I'm probably trading my level 15 Keldeo over for this one.
Okay then, you can say that for virtually every local multiplayer console game ever made.
My point still stands, Pokemon Rumble is not a good game and nowhere near the best Pokemon spinoff.

I have a DS, I haven't played a pokemon game in years (I think the last one I played was Gold), I really, really liked those old games though, just stopped playing them for some reason. Should I pick these games up, or is there actually some continuity that makes playing B/W 1 worth it?

Omg thanks I forgot I downloaded him totally using that pegasus
There is a continuous story between the games, but you're not going to ruin BW2 by not playing the first. Both are really great games, being much faster than any previous generation in battles, and menus, with a ton of content.

I'm glad he's such a low level. I might just toss in random one of my 10 Victini too.

I like content. I feel like I'm going to pick this up and all my memories of old Pokemon games will be blown away.
Noone ever claimed the latter
I could see someone enjoying it more than any of the other spinoffs, given that it's a party game when played correctly.
Opinions, mang. They're tough to accept.

I generally outline what Pokemon I'm going to use beforehand, but I usually end up experimenting here and there. BW had me constantly switching out Pokemon and trying new teams every other hour. ._.

WAIT, you can get the wolf thing earlier in this game? This changes everything.

You get it as a gift I believe. But in Black it was a post game or end game gift wasn't it? Someone elsewhere mentioned you get it earlier in this game?
No it's (major spoiler warning)
one of N's Pokemon, which a member of Team Plasma gives you
It's early, but not suuuuper early. You'll be into your mid-20s level wise.
-Pyromaniac-

But compared to black/white that's pretty early. I'll take it. He/she is so damn cool.
Zorua wasn't post-game, it was an event Pokemon that required the Gamestop Celebi. If you had it, you could transfer it over with the Relocator and take Celebi to a building in Castelia City. You could do this the first time you arrive in Castielia.
Thankfully, BW2 resolves this and Zorua is no longer an event.

That's even worse than post game! Explains why I didn't do it, considering I did continue playing for a while afterwards. Great that we can get one earlier now though.
I think they switched to an internal team after Platinum.

Not sure if posted yet, but IGN gave B2/W2 a 9.6/10

Unexpected.
Hmm, someone has just said that the copy of B2 / W2 they bought on Monday from Target works fine on his Japanese 3DS.

If I still cared about IGN's reviews I'd be ecstatic. As it stands, I guess I'm an iota more anxious for the release date to get here.

I have a question that might be stupid but what are rock attacks considered? Special or physical? What about Ground? What about flying?
Haven't played Pokemon in a while? Attacks are individually designated special or physical now (since Gen IV, I believe). It's no longer by type.
-Pyromaniac-
Member
I have I'm just not hardcorez so I never really paid attention to it. I always just assumed elemental attacks = special. I just didn't know where rock/ground/flying stood, seemingly elemental but...seemed different to me.
Sounds complicated.
If you look at the attacks in game they all have a symbol to designate it as special or physical. There are physical and special moves for each type in the game.

I'm 100% for average/mediocre reviews. Anything if it will help spark a bigger change/jump in the series.
I mean I know the game will be fun anyway like always but they could do a lot better.

totally didn't know that, the fuck have I been up to. This is why I'll never be competitive.
Well I know the IGN reviewer is a big Poké-fan. It's possible she accounted for a lot of the "hardcore" additions to these games that a more casual player might ignore. I might be completely off base though, haven't actually bothered to read any of the review texts, including IGN's. >.>
I've noticed IGN tends to give Nintendo's eShop games really good reviews as well. Seems kinda odd to me but whatever.

Well, I recall the dialogue in Platinum being less terrible than in White.

Score and everything like that aside. The IGN review, I think, did a really good job of bringing up some cool things about the new game I didn't actually know about.
Made me confirm my purchase for sure

I'm getting White 2. Is there any way that one of you guys with a completed Japanese Black 2 can transfer the Hard Key to me before I start the game?
That'd be super appreciated.

It has to be transferred locally. Not over Wi-Fi.

Considering literally 90% of it was recycled from the original games, that isn't surprising.
