Pokémon Black Version 2/White Version 2 |OT| Zero Shades of Grey
- Thread starter ColtraineGF
- Start date
White 2 for story consistency (e.g.
N having Reshiram
being able to catch it after beating the game
However, the non-legendary exclusive Pokémon are the same as BW1. Nothing that Wi-Fi trades can't easily fix though.

Only ones I know I'll use:
Riolu
Elekid
starter - don't know which starter! I did water first time around, might do it again since there are good fire options.

I have seen the game ID. These have the same region code as the english BW1 ("O" region).
I have NA versions of BW, and they work on my dsi and 3ds (UK).
99% sure this is region free.
The 3DS app won't affect whether these games are region free or not. One of the japanese apps work with other region pokemon games.
Yes. It works with japanese copies of bw2 and international copies of bw1 as international copies have no region code.
Yup. It's a pre-order offer. So you'll get asked if you pre-ordered the game there before they'll let you download it. Or at least that's what happened to me when I went to get it.
Not for me. EBgames / Gamestops just have it running at all times, so I just walk in, download and walk out.
wait what
It has nothing to do with pre-ordering, you can just stand outside the GameStop and nab it. If it's true that they only turned it on for you after pre-ordering, that store be misbehavin'.

OMG! *o*
Awesome. I can get the EU version cheaper despite having NA hardware so I might go for it.
OMG! *o*
0_o. I need this. I wanted to play W2 on DSi, but I guess now I have no choice.
OMG! *o*
That is adorable. We are only a few years away from pokemon battling with AR in reality, imagine you're at the mall or whatever and your batting a friend and your mons are going at it in the mall. Sogood.gif
That's great to hear
No need to import an NA copy
Yeah, it really is.
According to the screenshots I saw, White 2's ID is TWL-IRDO-USA. I assume Black's ID will be IREO. If this was region locked then it would either have Conquest's ID (I forgot), or E replacing the O.
As my copies of BW work on both my DSi and 3DS from the UK, and they have the same O region code, then it's to be assumed that the same applies here. =^.^= Of course I will be looking around and asking if these games work on other region DS consoles, This might fail but I am confident they will work so don't make any hasty decisions.
Funnily enough, I will be buying an NA copy so my box collection remains slim. EU cases are too big.
Play Asia is selling this for a cheaper price. (£25 with shipping). Atleast that's what I saw a few days ago.
Then I was clearly lied to. How dare they lie to me.
It's all good 'cause I also lied to him about pre-ordering there.

I've bought White last time so this time I'll be getting Black 2.

Not sure which game to start with...
Last time, I started with Black because I pre-ordererd the Pokemon Black DSi bundle from GameStop (Needed a DSi, preferred the look of that one) and had intended to play the copy of White I'd pre-ordered from Amazon, but by the time it arrived I was too deep into Black to switch.
This time I have both games pre-ordered and my Pokemon Black DSi and 3DS XL ready to go, but...maybe White 2 because I played Black first?
Also, am I the only one who'd buy first and third gen remakes on DS if they got the HG/SS treatment?

Yes.
You unlock battles with your rivals where they use their team from BW1.
You also unlock things call memory links, which are sort of flashbacks of what happened between BW1 and 2.
Also, they changed that song in Homika's gym (if this hasn't been mentioned).

That is really cool that it is still for the DS I guess, but it also sucks they didn't start working on a totally new game for the 3DS.
As far as my pokemon'ing goes, I played Red/Blue and Yellow back in teh day. I played a lot of pokemon when it first came out. Then I think I got Gold and didn't like it at all, and that ended my pokemon'ing until Pokemon Platinum came out, and I didn't even buy that game until a year later in 2010. I am still only 3 or 4 badges in on that game and play it basically only when I travel or every once and again in bed.
My gaming time over the years have diminished, and so has my pokemon'ing. I dunno, I may just wait to buy the next version on either the 3DS (which I still need to buy at some point if ever). I don't think I would be able to get to both of these games in all honesty.

I got this from Serebii. He didn't go into much detail, but he said on two occasions that they changed the song that gym leader sings.
So they likely changed it to Koffing instead of keeping Dogars.

K-O-FF-I-N-G?
Obviously D-O-G-A-R-S doesn't make sense any more.

They have more than one team...
I hope so. I'll be seriously disappointed if I get there and they just took the lyrics out altogether
I'm voting that they'll just speed the song up to accommodate for the extra letter. It works when I sound it out in my head, at least..
Probably.
I saw people expecting them to keep Dogars, and they did keep that Japanese song on the bridge.
People will bitch but idgaf.

Silly question, but do they use all the battle themes for all the old gym leaders and elite four fellas in world tournament?
Remixes of old themes, yep.

This game uses remixed versions of the Gym Leader and Champion themes from each gen.
I'm pumped for this sequel but Gamefreak should really REALLY retire the oldest generation of Pokémon. I'm reallytired of them and their printer voices. It's been 16 years and nobody wants to see another goddamn Zubat, Geodude and Psyduck anymore. I was under impression that Black/White would be a revolution for series and completely abandon old pokémon and go on with brand new pokémon. Okay, If they really want to put old pokémon in the game, they should just put gens 3 and 4. I can't take seeing another drzzzrzzst Zubat anymore.

New content here and there - it doesn't replace things, it's like extra story-related stuff, as well as certain bonus items and battles.
It is all completely new content, with the only "replacement" being that the game will replace the phrase "that trainer" (or something like that) to the name of your character in BW when people refer to you from the previous game.
I see. So there's no harm in syncing my copy of Black 1 when I start playing Black 2. Thanks for answering guys.
That seems problematic when you always name the main character after yourself :s
Nope.

The newer generation of players would most certainly like to see them, I'd think. It's not like the entire audience of Pokémon games consists of hardcore series veterans.
I do kind of agree about the printer voices, though. I can understand the nostalgic value, but the low quality voices really stand out when compared to more recent Pokémon.
1. How would you do an expansion on the DS?
2. It's a whole new game with a different story and lots of new content. The region is the same and there aren't any new Pokémon, but it's still a new game.
