The first few cities and towns from Black and White sit as post-game areas, the gym leaders have a new order and completely new gym puzzles (not to mention the addition of two new gym leaders to the fray, alongside a new champion), and characters from the previous entry do new things. Black and White 2 starts you in a new city in Unova, as a new character with a new rival, and with a new way to traverse the region. That's not to say the game is otherwise similar. The rest of the game is a traditional romp to get badges, capture a few legendary Pokémon, and become champion. Interesting characters don't get as much time as they deserve a particular "mysterious person with a complicated backstory" makes only two or three appearances before just explaining his motives in his final, story-centric appearance. This represents a departure from Black and White, in which the story receives reasonable pacing throughout and even slightly after. The game addresses little of the plot until the player obtains at least six badges, and 90 percent of the narrative occurs in a multi-hour block between the seventh gym and the Elite Four. The story has its moments, but the pacing is atrocious.

This change works for Pokémon: despite limiting its scope, the series shows signs of taking its plot seriously, beyond "eight badges, an evil team, and an Elite Four" (though rest assured, those things are still present).Īs someone who got into the story of Black and White, I was excited to see how Unova and Team Plasma had developed in the past two years. The game directly references characters and plotlines, and takes no time to explain the identity of Team Plasma, its split into two factions, or who in the world "N" is.

Unlike past Pokémon games, which, despite a few sly references, were self-contained, Black 2 makes no concessions for those unfamiliar.

It's a game exclusively built for those familiar with the story of original, and those who have not played Black and White may have trouble following along.

The first official sequel rather than successor, the game’s new plot and updated landscape follow the original Pokémon Black and White after two years. Pokémon Black 2 is a Pokémon game, so its level of quality shouldn’t surprise.
