    Easily the most replayable Pokémon game in my opinion. It's a sequel that fixed any of the potential flaws of the first!

    The game is even better than Pokemon Black, which is one of the best games I have ever played. It's very great, both storywise and designwise. The graphics in those games are great, the monsters designs are good, and literally everything about the characters is just perfect!

    On par with its predecessor in nearly every way. Best gameplay the series has ever seen, and the variety of wild encounters makes teambuilding more fun than ever. The story isn't as good as the originals, but the game more than makes up for that with the new Pokémon and quality of life additions.

    I am convinced that, without any doubt, this is perfection in Pokémon form. With the best story known to the series, tough battles, legendaries to hunt, and a massive list of Pokémon to collect, the sequels to Pokémon Black and White are easily the best games the series has to offer. Even if you haven’t played the originals, you can jump right in on to this one!

    Excellent Pokemon game, has multiple underappreciated features like the Pokemon World Tournament, and has a challenge mode if you're playing Black 2. Has 649 total Pokemon, though you might need to play other games to catch them all.

    The best Pokémon game I've ever played.
    - Explorig the Unova region a second time but now with more pokémons to encounter.
    - Some parts of the map have evolved due to the 2 years between the two episodes plots. - 3 new Gym Leaders and a new Champion to keep refreshed. And the old ones have updated their gyms. - A perfect story thanks to the antagonist's personality. - This generation    The best Pokémon game I've ever played.

    - This generation introduced the Shiny Charm, great for shiny hunters when the base rate is at 1/8192.

    One of the very few games that was a 10/10. The story was very well made and the gameplay mechanics were gorgeous. The 2D sprite animations will never get old as opposed to when the series decided to become 3D. Tons of after story stuff to do and tons of pokemon to find to fill the pokedex. I always recommend this version to anyone who has a DS or 3DS as one of the must play pokemon gamesOne of the very few games that was a 10/10.

    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.

    Classic collect-them-all RPG offers challenging battles and quite-a-lot Pokémons to train. [Christmas 2012]
