Black/White 2 continues the fine tradition of Pokémon games, with enough new content to keep even a seasoned player’s attention. I have been playing Pokémon games for over a decade and the charm and simplicity keeps me coming back for more. Like most Pokémon games, Black/White 2 are RPGs with adventure elements, presented in a third-person, overhead perspective. Their overly trusting parents allow scientists to give them a Pokémon and away we go! After meeting a rival, our hero sets off on a journey across the country, battling Gym Leaders to acquire eight Gym Badges, and then goes on to challenge the Elite Four of the Pokémon League and its champion. I chose Rosa as protagonist for White 2, and played with Nate in Black 2, with both Versions of the game starting with our young hero in Aspertia City.

While both can be played separately, trading Pokémon between both of the games is necessary in order to complete the games’ Pokedex.

Once again, both titles are independent of each other, but feature basically the same plot.

Pokémon Black Version 2 and White Version 2, hereafter referred to as “Black/White 2”, are sequels to Pokémon Black and White, set two years after the previous games.
