    In my mere opinion, it's the greatest Pokemon game ever created. Lovable characters, nice story, fluid and straight to the point gameplay, nice visuals, and the best of all: a rival that isn't a complete douchebag! Overall a great game.

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

    An immersive gameplay.
    Full of different and enjoyable content.
    Competitive battling experience.
    Being able to create all kind of teams.
    Story, characters, dialogs, all the places... everything was perfect for me.

    One of the best Pokémon game out there.

    No entendí la necesidad de hacer estas entregas, no sumaban el contenido necesario como para justificar otra compra. No podrían haber optado por la tercera entrega como se hizo siempre?

    The pokemon game with the coolest content, a relatively good story and the best battle screen! Only flaw: It could be a little more different mapwise from its original.

    Another great Pokemon game. Holds very well as an sequel. Some animations were changed and it makes the battles more fun to watch. Story was great, but I think the first game did it better (probably nostalgia).
    9/10 Great.

    The game is good but tutorials are all around this game. Is by far the Pokémon game with the longest tutorials of all time.

    Story is dull and almost nothing happens. But it has good soundtrack, big region and good postgame, main story is pretty short though.

    Juego Decente, aunque con algo de cagado entra en su Historia y Personajes (Aunado a los otros problemas de su Precuela)

    Si ya pokémon Blanco y Negro fueron de lo mejor que nos ha entregado pokémon, en mi opinión Pokémon Negro 2 ya roto ese molde y se corona en mi opinión como el mejor videojuego de pokémon hasta la fecha. Nuevas e increíbles rutas además de re encuentros con viejos personajes, utilización explendida de cada recurso que tiene y un Post game fenomenal, el mejor de todos los juegos de pokémonSi ya pokémon Blanco y Negro fueron de lo mejor que nos ha entregado pokémon, en mi opinión Pokémon Negro 2 ya roto ese molde y se corona en mi opinión como el mejor videojuego de pokémon hasta la fecha. Nuevas e increíbles rutas además de re encuentros con viejos personajes, utilización explendida de cada recurso que tiene y un Post game fenomenal, el mejor de todos los juegos de pokémon junto con lo que fue el post game de Pokémon Heart Gold y Soul Silver. La nueva banda sonora, los nuevos personajes y la vuelta a la región de pokémon anteriores, junto a una historia más que divertida son cosas que elevan a estos juegos a ser más que simples terceras versiones. Por todo esto y muchísimo más es que estos me parecen los mejores juegos de la saga. Expand

    Probably my favourite pokemon game. Although the new Pokemon aren't that interesting, the story is actually not hot garbage this time and the difficulty is also not that easy.

    La trama principal pudo ser mejor, pero White 2 está sin duda entre las mejores versiones de la franquicia, con una oferta de contenido bastante atractiva, técnicamente precioso y con un Pokémon Wolrd Tournament fantástico.

    Pokemon white 2 is hands down the best Pokemon game to me. The game is filled with Pokemon and lots of my favourites are from this game. The music is amazing having the best soundtrack (in my opinion) to the point where there are memes about how it is so good. The characters have all either been really good new additions or upgraded from B&W 1. There's a lot to do in the post game with thePokemon white 2 is hands down the best Pokemon game to me.

    This is really the best Pokemon Edition that exists.
    It has a good Soundtrack, well drawn animated Sprites, good Gameplay and something newer Editions don't have: A Real good Endgame.

    Arena Tournaments, the Tree/Skyscraper to fight and level etc.

    Es lo último juego genuinamente bueno que nos ha dado la saga, continúa la historia de su precuela y ata los cabos sueltos, también está repleto de contenido y tiene una buena dificultad, lamento profundamente que a causa de la ingrata comunidad de Pokémon, la saga fuese cuesta abajo

    GameFreak's best so far. Hard mode, new monsters forced upon you to keep it fresh, expansive end-game, good story for a Pokemon game. This is the headspace GameFreak should have been in with their latest titles.

    A fitting sequel to Pokemon White version, offering a new story, new characters , an expanded region, an expanded regional Pokedex including Pokemon from past generations that are available to catch and train, and overall a lot more content and a challenging endgame for players to enjoy.

    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.

    Pokémon Black and White 2 are the best Pokémon games thus far. The amount of activities you can participate in is delightful, the storyline surprisingly engaging, and the new gym design fun. The biggest complaint stems from the horrible implementation of new difficulty levels. I loved the idea of having a harder difficulty for my quest, but implementing it only in one game of the pair, and even then unlocking it after I've actually played through the game, is simply old fashioned and bad game design.

    Fans of Pokémon already knows what to expect from this game, and it has as usual the same high quality standard we are spoiled with. The lack of new regions or a lot more Pokémon's makes the game feel a little bit too familiar with the previous one, so much that I would call this an extremely well done expansion rather than a new game.
