Is there any reason to get the original Black/White games if

They are certainly more different. If you can get it for 15 moneys then go ahead. It's a different story'n such.

B/W 1 you are locked into gen 5 pokemon only, not the worst, but had it's problems. It is good, but B/W 2 made it overall a better game. Still would recommend. Do wish original characters from b/w 1 was related to the b/w 2 main character.

Depends if you care about plot. Mechanics-wise they're the same, but they're two very different stories built on the same engine and set in the same region

BW2 is much better if you play BW first. The wider variety of pokemon means more, the plot actually makes sense, and BW makes you use pokemon you otherwise wouldn't. Both are worth playing.

i got black2 first (was cheaper than bw1)
but i was kinda annoyed by some story points

like that one dude "my sisters purrloin" this, that, bla bla

what the hell happend???
sure, later it was answered with 'flashbacks'
but what actually happened - had to play bw1

>>26895175
Yes

>>26895175
I'd suggest getting one of them. They're substantially different, at least story-wise. Different cities, different Pokémon, a lot of differences... Plus, the sequels make very little sense if you don't play the first.

>i played the direct sequel first and didn't understand it
whoa

Black and White 2 aren't like Platinum and Emerald; they are actual sequels.

>>26895175
Only for the convention-breaking plot.

>>26895278
Only until post-game, and if you aren't familiar with them, it's quite challenging and enjoyable.

This sums it up in a nutshell.
Make sure you get the sequel to the game you own so that the story makes even more sense (unless you don't care). So, Black and Black 2 or White and White 2. I played Black then White 2 because those were the only ones I could get ahold of at the time, but it's a bit confusing because there are a few things that are different, such as the legendaries.

BW has that isolation factor; you can only catch unova pokes untill you beat E4, which is nice. The story is completely different, as BW2 is a sequel, so its not like a 3rd game in any way really, quite unique

>>26895684
What are you, retarded?

>>26895175
Nope, BW2 mostly fixed the mistake that was BW1

>>26900629
>Nope
What are you, gay?
There are plenty of reasons to play the originals, especially for the story and world-building.

Black and White just feels a lot more refreshing than the other games because it's all new pokemon until you reach the post game, unlike the other games where you're given older pokemon from the get go.
Also Ghetsis is one of the harder trainers in the series.
