From what ive read, in black and white 2 i can capture pokemon from past generations before getting national pokedex or whatever.

The second half of BW's pokedex is much better and more varied and might be worth keeping to play just to experience these pokemon (Chandelure, Haxorus, Galvantula, Ferrothorn, Reuniclus, etc). The game itself doesn't get any better.
If this argument doesn't appeal to you, then follow anon's advice and just skip to gen 6.

>pic not really related

>>25674713
Why would you want to catch past generation Pokemon? Just replay an older game.

its the best gen by far in terms of story. N was a great antagonist and the whole truths and ideals symbolism was great, basic stuff but for a pokemon game it was pretty out there.

You clearly has shit taste, because Gen BW is a very polished game and knew how to use the DS engine MUCH more than DP, the game is much more faster than the Gen 4 and you have stuff like Castelia which is pretty cool for the DS.

BW also has a pretty good soundtrack with many good Towns/routes themes, the wild pokémon theme also is my favorite one of the franchise.

Also, not be allowed to catch older pokémon is not a bad thing, but a great one. You get to know a lot of new pokémon, each one is a new thing, just like if you was playing pokémon for the very first time. Why care about using a Zubat, Abra or whatever for the 9# time? Use new stuff. If you don't like it, it's okay, but I think that you has shit taste and the franchise is not for you anymore.

>>25674610
It's a shit game, just skip to X/Y.

>>25674610
OP this board already had shit taste but you really must either be trolling hard or your taste is shit on a new level. Gen 4 is your favorite and you're hating Black? Wtf is wrong with you?

>>25674729
>The second half of BW's pokedex is much better and more varied and might be worth keeping to play just to experience these pokemon
This. The first third of BW's 'dex was largely trash & there isn't much variety early on either, so you just keep seeing the same few 'mons you really don't like. The fact that BW2 sorted that issue out is probably the reason why I prefer those

>>25674610

>Its bad because I can't get gen 1-4 mons!


Why is this a legitimate complaint? Its exactly the same as gen 1. one pokedex, no extras, whats the point of every single pokemon always being catchable? Then you never branch out and make new teams, you'll just make the same team over and over.

This is not a viable complaint faggot. Learn to deal with it or stop playing good pokemon games.

>Gen 4 was my favorite

Opinion fucking discarded.

Let's be honest here, people aren't going to take gen 5 seriously anymore.
Hating it has been a meme since X and Y came along.

>>25675242
To be fair to OP, that was in the context of them not liking any of the new Pokemon. That said, their opinion is absolute shite if they don't like the music or at least the Venipede line

>>25674610
>only played till gen 4, my favorite probably

Seriously we need to do something about the Sinnohsperms.

>>25674610
>bad music
objectively wrong

gen 5 is okay. i don't like many of the pokemon but it has the best story/villain of any pokemon game and actual dynamic characters. the post elite 4 is a lot of content too.

>>25674610
>Does this gets any good? or should i just play black and white 2?

Gen V is the worst gen for a reason
The region is boring and most pokemon are garbage (some quiteliterally).
Skip directly to XY for a great experience

>>25675282
And for that reason people don't take hating it seriously any more either. Discussion around it generally sucks & devolves into genwars with the same tired old comments to the point that someone's gone & made a bingo sheet for it

Unlike other generations it's not hate as much as it is objective fact that it was poorly made.

> Saying people who don't like Gen 5 have shit taste

Gen 5 hands down absolute shit tier mon designs.

Region design is good, plot is meh (it's a pokemon game).
Too much synth/tech in the music gets annoying as fuck, but a few tracks are excellent.

Overall besides ugly ass mons there's nothing about it that radically differentiates itself from other pokemon games.

If you're hoping for some amazing experience in Gen 6 to compare, I'd wait and cross my fingers for Sun/Moon.

>>25675140
Probably nothing. Gen 4 is not stellar, but Gen 5 really is the scum of all generations. Between flat and vague characters, an overly simplistic progression and some of the worst designs since Gen I, there's very little for anyone to like.

I mean, except for utter faggots like you.

>>25675242
It is only a legitimate complaint because the pokemon there are so awful. If they were any good, no one would complain about this.

Black & White can be a tough pill to swallow since it has ALL NEW EVERYTHING. BW2 balances the new/old a bit better. However the problem is that you will likely shit on the story of BW2 without playing BW first.

Give it some time. I had trouble getting into BW at first too. The ghosts are all pretty fucking cool, the bugs don't all suck for a change, and there are some surprisingly bro-tier pokemon if you take the time to try some out.

If it really isn't your thing just give XY a shot. Their basically nostalgia bait for genwunners and other lapsed fans.

Gen V is the most hated by the regular fanbase
The gen liked outside of here and meme-hated on /vp/ only is Gen VI

It's funny, I think like half of the new ones from Black/White are some of the ugliest pokemon ever. (Examples being the elemental monkeys, and the forces of nature trio, the Unfezant family) But some of them have become my absolute favorites. (Pretty much all of the ghosts, Ferrothorn, Accelgor)

>>25676030

That would be 4 anon, especially since they had to change the game because of the complaints towards it.

>>25674610

>>25676030


Please don't tell me you think people actually like Gen 6 outside of /vp/? I've been to a LOT of gaming websites and a lot of Pokemon discussions, and Gen 6's extremely low difficulty, framerate issues, and bad graphics among others are mentioned frequently.

People don't generally talk about Gen 5 because they either didn't play it, or liked it but don't have much else to say on the games themselves. Facebook normies don't like Gen V because there aren't any Pikachu, Charizard, or any fucking Eeveelutions to obsess over.

>>25675944
>the bugs don't all suck for a change
The bugs are all brilliant (once fully evolved, at least - doing a mono-bug run on W2 & Karrablast & Shelmet are utterly useless); one of the best things about Gen 5

BW2's story holds up fine on its own, to me (played it before BW). The only thing I didn't really get was why this 'N' guy was such a big deal. All skipping straight to BW2 really shat on for me was the story of BW - once I got around to playing it nothing was that interesting or came as as surprise

>>25676066
people are living in a fantasy where Diamond/Pearl didn't turn away A LOT of people

hell I turned away for a good while until BW had been out for a year or so and I decided to try it with my new 3DS

Ruby/Sapphire turned people off as well.

>tfw Gen 5 they released a huge game with variable difficulty, tons of new pokemon, an actual plot, great graphics and music which emulated the first game without directly pandering to it or leeching of it.
>people honestly claim the wank that was XY was better

the pokemon in XY were good but there were only like 80 of them which is pathetic.

catching old mons is fine but I really don't care about them as much as trying out new ones.

also Gen 4 was pretty awful until Platinum and the gentoo remakes came out.

>It was just unfortunate enough to be made after the hype died.

This should be the correct answer. 3rd gen happened when the hype died, though it still had a lot of fans, from my experience.

Same thing with 5th gen for me. Everyone got DP but it died soon after, then PtHGSS and BW/2 came out.

5th gen and games of 5th gen aren't the worst nor do they suck.

Having no old pokemon in BW can be a plus or minus depending on how you look at it. More creative, more to choose from. Or more shitty/silly designs, more unneeded clones, no old bros. I personally liked that there were no old pokemon.

The Unova region also has ups and downs. Very Linear in BW, but in 2 they fixed it a bit. A lot of very interesting towns to visit, places to explore. Seasons were a nice addition, but a pain to wait for each month without cheating the DS's system.

The music in the game might depend on tastes I guess. I personally like a lot of the soundtrack and find it better than most other generations' soundtracks.

The graphics may depend on tastes as well. I enjoyed how 5th gen became more 3D(?) than how 4th gen was. I also enjoyed the moving battle sprites. Though the animations in battle felt jagged at times and not smooth.

The game gave off a medieval vibe to me and that's why I like it.

It felt like an homage to the medieval fantasy rpg's of yesteryear with a modern Pokemon twist of course.

Dragons and Truth/Ideal plot dynamic, 2 opposing heros striving for similar but different goals, fucking Team Plasma look like knights, Alder the once legendary champion is a shell of his former self traveling across the region on a journey of self discovery but he still offers guidance to the player and his encounter theme is fucking medieval sounding as shit and ine of the best themes in the game. Then you have Icirrus City the most fucking Medieval town in the fucking game, just listen to that theme man, it's fucking glorious not to mention this is where the motherfucking Dragon Spiral Tower is located.

>>25677184
Plasma is one of the villain themes because its isnt edgy or doom filled its very majestic and noble like you are fighting european knights rather than terrorist. Oh wait your a pleb that cant read music at all. I bought this game BECAUSE OF TEAM PLASMA'S MUSIC.

>>25674610
Black 2 is a lot better. You get a huge variety of Pokemon to choose from (both old and new) and the region is slightly more interesting. I'd still say you should power through Black to understand the story though.

These are the ones I found passable.
Some I think are actually good (Lilligant, Galvantula, Chandelure, Eelectross) while others I like but are a bit overdesigned (Gigalith, Hydreigon, Haxorus, etc )
I don't mind the starter designs either.

That's actually a very interesting outlook anon. Gives some better perspective and balance to these controversial arguments.

Anyways, one thing I'll defend Gen 5 on are the Pokemon. Now sure, I'll compromise and say that Gen 5 probably had the oddest designs in the series. But, I believe the good still manages to outweigh the bad(give or take it like 80% of the Gen 5 dex).

I mean honestly, all haters do is complain about the same Pokemon over and over, whereas those of us who liked Gen 5's dex can list off a dozen good designs and Pokemon.

I can't even remember any of Alder themes, the only medieval music I do remember is the annoying one in the ending titles.

I'd say it had more of European influence for sure town wise, but not necessary Medieval one (Middle Age is absolutely unrelated in everyway to a region supposed to be based on NYC with spare US references).
At best only the dragon features in the games can be related to the Middle Age (except the one about yin yang which was another addition) and the kings backstory nobody even remembers what it was about.

Strongly dislike the plasma, npc battle and wild encounter themes, made me turn off the music several times and hit the A button without watching the screen while battling against the nth Patrat and Watchog.

>>25677225
I thought you were referring to Alder's battle theme for a minute & went to check it out since I have the game on mute most of the time & never bothered with the BW postgame. Holy shit that must be the worst champion theme in the series. The encounter music is good though

Dragonspiral Tower had my favourite music in the game - the weight of history was really palpable & it had a magical air to it

Yes. "Odd" is the word I think about when I look at some of the gen 5 pokes designs, but odd is not necessarily bad in itself. I remember being 7 years old and seeing a Weezing for the first time in the animu. That shit was weird af f a m
A lot of people shit on Gardobor, but as odd as it looks I think theres something cute about it. This is a living trash bag were talking about, think about that.

I respected Gen V for it attempting a lot of "Gen V only" Pokemon, kinda made me think more about team mash ups than any other generation. Wish they would do that every Generation and have previous Gen unlockable with the National Dex opening up.

This. After gen 5 I wish every new game would force you to only catch and use new Pokemon and then unlock the rest of the pokedex as post game

Lets be honest here, I'm an oldfag who still plays pokemon. I'm past my mid 20s and I have responsibilities which stops me from watching the anime and getting familiar with the new pokes, so by limiting the dex to only the new designs i HAVE TO get familiar with them, try them out and their weaknesses and strengths

I'm currently playing through White for the first time and every time I fight a new gym leader I find myself wondering

Literally no where in my post did I advocate gen 1, I pointed out that Unova does a spin on several themes covered by Gen 1.

Pokemon does this in other gens (the early game bird/rodent) but in Gen V it was excessive and blatantly intentional.

Or you know "dream eating tapir" is just such a fucking cliche guys, I'm surprised they didn't rehash it sooner.

They were received pretty well for that reason actually.
Black and White even got a perfect 40 from Famitsu, which no other pokemon game has done.

The only ones poorly received comparatively would be the gen 4 games.

If you hate the music, region, and Pokemon, it's not a matter of whether or not the game will get good. You clearly don't like what it's made of. Stop playing it.

You have some weird and suspicious taste, though.

>>25677687
I think it'd be nice to have the first half be lvl 1-50 with gen-exclusive pokemon, then when you beat the game you essentially unlock what B2/W2 was, and go through it all with access to national.

No. He's defendable. If it weren't for the /mlp/ meme, nobody would even care about him.

>>25678907

If it weren't for the /mlp/ "meme", his design would still objectively be absolute trash. He does a better job at looking like trash than the actual Pokemon designed for the express purpose of being the personification of garbage.

>>25678937
The whole point is that there's something inherently bad about it.
The horse was alright, even if disliked. The musketeers were cool fuck whoever said otherwise.
The genies fell under questionable for palette swap, but they were still cool enough. The fish was just bad-odd enough to make my list, since I saw no defense for a makeup fish with hands. Even then I'm sure someone could argue against it.

Can't really understand how people can hate it but, whateves.

>>25679382
Most of the hate comes off as a meme imo.
Sure every fact and opinion on /vp/ is a meme but it's honestly the same trash/ice cream stuff over and over again.
Things like music I can get, but I never mind poke music unless it's trainer battle or wild encounter since they're often repeated.
I believe some people don't like it, but for the most part the hate seems forced.

>>25675823

/vp/ is filled with Johtoddlers, and I noticed that for many people who hate BW(2) have GSC as their favorite mainseries games.

>>25679445
Silver was my first game, and the BW/2 series is honestly my favorite.
It makes more sense for Gen2 to like Gen5 because B2/W2 was basically what Jhoto was to Kanto.

>>25678907

nah, Keldeo is just not a good design. I understand it's suppose to be "younger" because D'artagnan and whatnot, but they just made Keldeo look plastic-like and that makes it look unappealing.

>>25679468
Gen 5 is a step up from all the games, which is usually how it works. Gen 4 kind of failed that, but it was somewhat testing new waters. HG/SS kind of made up for it.
Gen 6 seems to have failed as well, but that remains to be seen since the "recent gen sux" meme holds some truth to it.

I disagree. He fits in well with the other musketeers, and fits the sort of youthful look. The form change is kind of odd, but it's still not horrible garbage or anything.

I like most of the gen 5 designs, but there are a couple that just aren't appealing to me. I love Heatmor's idea, but I think they could have done a better job designing an anteater flamethrower. But the drawn art looks better than the sprite work, I think it's because the sprite looks like it has stripes but the art clearly shows they're flames and flicker off towards his head. But there's only so much you can do with sprites.

The only thing XY has over the other games is Pokemon variety. Even then BW2 has plenty.

To OP. BW is unfortunately linear and even easier than normal Pokemon games (until gen 6 came around). It's starters are also really bad with Samurott being the only one that isn't easy replaceable. However the soundtrack is the best out of all the games so I don't know what the fuck you're talking about, and there many of the Gen V designs were meant to be humorous in appearance. A misstep for some, but I found it endearing.
