Black and White 2 Discussion

[Professor Takumi]

So, what do you think of the followup sequels to the first Black and White versions?

I have to say, I'm rather impressed. The story so far is pretty good. It's nice and simple, but it's building up very well I think. Also, the new areas are subtle but there. It's like a whole new experience compared to the first Black and White versions, in my opinion.

Also, the new wireless features and special locations like Join Avenue are really wonderful.

I heard something about the english version censoring out the scene where Ghetisis tries to kill you.

[Professor Takumi]

I haven't gotten that far yet, but it might. Or rather, it might just be implied. There are lots of implications in the pokemon games that are grim or very dark story oriented. Like in the original Red/Blue versions, when you fight Gary on the S.S. Anne where he has a raticate, and he runs off after you defeat him with upset comments, and then you meet him at the pokemon tower in Lavendar Town and he no longer has it. Because you accidentally kill it in battle.

I would've killed all his Pokes.
I'm pleased by how Nintendo is starting to understand that games need to have some difficulty. Plus, there's the challenge mode which is a spectacular idea. Even better, there are Pokemon from every region and I like the variety.

[Professor Takumi]

I have to agree. I love all of the new features they have been implimenting. I look forward to what the series brings next.

The only thing Nintendo is yet to make is a 3D Pokemon game. Imagine walking around in a 3D environment as a trainer and battling other trainers with actual graphics. It'd be cool if you could actually design your own character so that everybody doesn't look exactly the same. Plus, I want them to bring back having the Pokemon in your first slot follow you around everywhere.
