First of all, Chuggaaconroy deserves all the props in the world for his content. Super cool to see you were inspired by him also. I gave up on playing the games before the DS era, but his Platinum LP was why I went back in. I've since gone back and enjoyed every game I missed out on. I actually played Black 2 before the first game and it was a really enjoyable playthrough. I didn't check into a lot of the extra features until Chugga showed us around the Battle Subway and PokeStar Studios. Heck, even Join Avenue. But I enjoyed the story and the twists with how the box legendary came into use. Between that and the Ultra games, I can't help but believe that Pokémon does a really good job with sequel games. Which can't be said about many other franchises

Hearing a lot of why other fans consider b2&w2 so popular. Makes me want to use it as a basis for my own creature taming game series💕

This video makes me very happy. I still have my Pokemon Black 2 copy. I remember I begged my parents to buy it for me back in 2012 when the game came out. I played it so much. I even evolved my Oshawott into a Dewott on the first day I got it. Good memories 😌

I agree I consider Pokémon Heartgold and Soulsilver, Platinum, Black and White, Black 2 and White 2 to be the peak of Pokémon. The only thing I wish is that Hilbert and Hilda were included Black 2 and White 2 where they help against the battle of Team Plasma. I wish Pokemon would do more sequel games. I would like to see another Kanto sequel game where it takes place 20 years after Red, Blue, Yellow, Firered and Leafgreen and the Gym Leaders, Elite Four and Champion have all changed and Kanto has new Pokémon and there being a Neo Team Rocket and a new legendary Pokémon Mewthree. The playable characters could be next generation trainers of Pallet Town and the rival can be Red’s son. I would also like to see a sequel to Black 2 and White 2 where it takes place 10 years after B2W2 and Bianca is the new professor with Juniper having retired and a new Team Plasma being revived and focusing on the Original Dragon of Unova. Hilbert, Hilda, Nate and Rosa can all come back in Black 3 and White 3 and help against the battle of the new Team Plasma and you could battle them as a NPC like Red.

I've not even played these games, and I still have a massive amount of respect for them.

Honestly, I would prefer a sequel over a remake, but instead of it being BW3, it should be called Pokemon Grey. It needs to continue the loose plot threads of the previous games, such as the return of the original BW protagonists and the Unovan citizens finally recognizing the Pokeball as a tool of oppression. It would also be cool to see them finally reject the use of Pokeballs, see where N and the Shadow Triad truly came from, possibly even a return of Ghetsis and Colress, and the reveal of the original dragon. Another thing they could incorporate would be the remnants of Neo Plasma and Team Rocket battling each other for control of Unova like in the anime.

i definitely still like these games as well, I remember my first time playing I had a Lucario by the end of my first day, Roxie had no chance lol.

Keep up the awesome work and videos

why does it sound like drogane recorded his parts on his phone while sitting in a car

Glad to see Drogane here

The last games for the DS and they went out with a bang the Pokemon World Tournament was my favorite part

These were my first Pokémon game I loved it, and I’m happy it helped me get into the series.

Starters, story, available Pokémon, things are difficult, Pokémon like Riolu are just flooded everywhere. You actually have to grind. Just all around the best games we’ve ever gotten from Pokemon.

That Chugga LP has done such a good job of highlighting all of the variety of different things that there are to do in BW2. I love how much content there is in that game. Just in terms of stuff to do, Pokemon hasn’t reached these levels sincs

tbh i'm currently playing this, again on my phone. i love gen 5 so much this is my first gen and played it on phone (on my first play is on phone too) cuz i don't have a nds but i kept replaying B&W1 and 2. my favorite!

Black 2 was my first pokemon game, I didn't finish it, but I still have pokemon I caught there in Home

Yoo thanks for featuring my boy drogane!!

How did you guys miss the challenge mode? I wish that was available on modern Pokémon games

I’ll never get bored of replaying bw2

I’m currently nuzlocking Pokémon white 2 and it is an absolute blast. I appreciate these games much more than I did before. I personally think that emerald is the best game in the series but bw2 is definitely up there.

I've been wanting to play B&W since getting back into Pokemon but the ridiculous price gouging on both the games and a 3DS to play them leaves me cold.

HGSS/ORAS/Platinum are my favorites games. With that said, B2W2 are on another level. White Treehallow/Black Tower is another post game battle area that makes B2W2 one of the best games. And you get a FREE shiny pseudo-legend as a reward!

I bought this game when I was on the lamb. It kept me entertained and I still have that save data from 2015. I won't delete it but may bring up more Gen 5 mons to Scarlet and Violet if they become available in the DLC.

Emerald battle frontier has entered the chat

The elite 4 + champion in B2W2 are the reason as to why I don't like restarting those games...

Pokémon White was the first game that introduced the games to me (16) and my brother (20)! I will always have a soft spot in our hearts as the best Pokémon games.

they are less handholding as well and there's a lot more to discover even when you already have seen everything

Do you need to play B&W before you play the sequels?

So true, I'm now 18 years old (born in 2005). I grew up not with Pokemon Omega or Pokemon Diamond but I introduced to the Pokemon world by my cousin which also the same age as me with Pokemon Black. The memories still lingering when I travelled Unova with my dear Oshawott, my first started Pokemon ever. My cousin stop playing Pokemon for a while because he didn't like them so much until years later with the introduction to Pokemon Unite. I played the game as well. Back when I played Pokemon Black until it's finish, I thought the game was over until I discovered that Pokemon Black 2 exist. I overjoyed and found a way to play the game. After finish everything in the game, I always restart it and play it all over again, playing with different starters and Pokemon. That's why my fav gen/region until now is Gen 5/ Unova region despite all the bad stuffs thrown by people. I still love them. I barely remember my first pokemon team that were Samurott, Unfezant, Krookodile & Scolipede. Then the fifth Pokemon was between Jellicent/Chandelure because I forgot about it already. Now, I really miss playing Pokemon games and I can't afford buying Nintendo Switch. So, to cure the Pokemon fever I play Pokemon Unite and my aces are Decidueye and Chandelure. That's is my story in travelling the world of Pokemon, thanks!

Best team for the PWT?

The best part of Black 2 and White 2 is the World Tournament. I just wish they included the Elite 4. And Mega Evolution but I know that wasn't invented at the time.

Black 2 & White 2 are quite possibly the nearest perfection of an Pokemon game that we've gotten. It did so many things right that later gens couldn't accomplish in and even though previous gens does some things to achieve & have alot of fond memories with, even those felt dated that BW2 would improved on. The variety of Pokemon, an more interesting worlds, the right amount of progression & exploration and overall better pacing, the gameplay, the challenge settings, better content, the animation, the music, etc. No Pokemon games to this day comes close on rivaling or on par with BW2 to this day. I hope one day it will. But as of right now and IMO, BW2 is the best Pokemon game we've gotten.

Ive been playing since Blue but this gen out of all of them im not familiar with. I got my first 3DS, a Pokemon Edition and a copy of Black when I was in Afghanistan but I wasnt able to truly experience the game, didnt even get remotely close to the elite 4. Fast foward to now after searching for a long time I finally found Black 2 just recently and cant wait to dive back in. I thought I finally found all of the pokemon games I ever liked(took a looong time getting my collection back on their original systems I tell you that) and after this video I feel Ive got to find and play Black all over again to fully appreciate this game.

While White 2 wasn’t my first Pokémon game, it was the first one I ever beat with my level 84 Emboar and nothing else 😂. I loved the game so much. It was a lot of fun. I remember finding The Team Plasma ship in the post game and going crazy. Then the Colress fight, plus another Master Ball. Incredible. Plus I think B2W2 are the only games where can legit get unlimited Master Balls through Joint Avenue. Raffle, 1% chance to win a master ball, but still a 1% chance.

I wish u got to fight the old protagonist through that data link thing

Of course the "best games" just had to be the ones I skipped. I was preoccupied with school and didn't realize they had released. I'd buy a used copy, but the prices are absurd.

This makes me wish i had a copy of blacj or white 2. My first game was x and y so i missed out.

Amount of pokemon. Challenge mode,pwt,champion iris,white tree hollow.if get hidden abilites. Want to see come on switch with more mons.

Unova is my favourite region and I was planning of something to come even give a new prospective to Ghetsis let’s say the hint is what is he if his son is INVINCIBLE?

I would even say Pokémon Emerald and Platinum are great Pokémon games that were set in the Japan-based regions.

I am currently in possession of the White 2 version! I’m actually planning to reset my original data and try the Challenge Mode. I know it could be hard, but I’m just hoping to do it for the sake of taking on Grimsley’s final rematch team, as they all change to males; his Pokémon team entirely consists of females, which really doesn’t totally fit him.

The challenge mode for gen 5 games is a mixed bag for me as it gave a new challenge for the players since enemies will have items equiped and have competitive IVs. Though this comes with some flaws, when playing with level caps it might give you some unforseen advantages example challenge mode Elisa level cap is 32 i think, if you have a drillbur on challenge mode it will evolve into an excadrill before the level cap and it can badly wall elisa's team in which only the zebstrika with flame charge can do significant damage to it. Also the stats dont scale to the increased level of pokemon. FlygonHG a youtuber who does nuzlocke videos asked and tested it on one of his videos. In his mono steel run on a gen5 challenge mode game his lucario based on his stats and stats of Iris' drudiggon should have no rolls (0 out of 16 possible damage rolls) to ohko it even with crit but it did so. So he did some tests using fixed damage moves and learned that the level only increases but not the stats.

My idea of lore that connects the terra (og black and white protagonist) to these games the riku (the rival) got his starter egg from terra (I'm naming these characters after kingdom hearts characters)

Dont forget you could get heatran and rotom in those games
