Thanks SO MUCH for 250k everyone! Here's the long awaited generation 5 version differences video I've been promising for ages lol. (Please read all of the description if you get time too! :D)
Lucia uwu I disagree with that last statement. Gen 4's Gen 2 remakes had the most content and post game I have ever seen in the entire franchise (there is also a battle frontier from emerald!!!!!)
@@thatdankguy5140 You are correct, but I will say this. Gen 4 reuse content that existed before and puts them into a game with some improvements. Gen 5 was like a rapid fire of new content and somehow nails the quality uniquely.
Random Idea - maybe the reason that certain locations are different between Black and White is based off the region's legendaries - Reshiram is the Pokémon of truth, while Zekrom is the Pokémon of ideals. Maybe that's why all of Black's different areas seem more futuristic and developed, while White's different areas seem natural; it's the truth of the world, versus the ideals of the world. Or maybe I'm an idiot and this is outright stated in-game.
Black route 4 was in a future where it was modernized in just a few yeara White route 4 was in a future where it was being developed but an ancient ruin was discovered while under construction
I feel like they missed a big opportunity for black city and white forest where in black city you could have a apartment and in white forest you could have had a base
The differences don't end here. These games' message is poetic. You skipped a few details on Black and White differences. Driftveil's market changes between versions: in Black, the market has all kinds of fruit and flowers and the NPC dialogues reflect this, by saying that it's great to have a lot of different fruit and flowers while in White, fruit and flowers are only seasonal, so they change according to the game season, and NPCs say that it's wonferul to see how fruit changes during the year. This is a very nice detail reflecting the games lore: Black is a most-idealistic world, where Opelucid is over technological, almost utopic, but there is still a small trace of justice, truth and realism, the most prominent being Drayden as Gym Leader instead of Iris, because ideals need to be supported by a solid base of truth (also, Reshiram is the legendary of the protagonist reflecting this). In White, however, Truth triumphed and reigns towards the region: Opelucid respects traditions of the past, but with a small touch of novelty, being Iris as a Gym Leader (and Zekrom as your legendary). Black's market reflects the beauty of different kinds of beautiful things, while White's market reflects the truth of waiting the year, accepting we can't have all at once except by importing it, embracing traditions and seasons as they come, appreciating the wait to enjoy things as they should be realistically. In Black, the evolution of the double battles are rotation battles, where you use 3 Pokémon but in a very different way, with the rotation gimmick being brand new and allowing a more dynamic gameplay. In White, in triple battles you still add one more Pokémon to the frenzy, but in a very traditional way, respecting the identity of Pokémon battles as they were before. ...I love this generation.
@@minefish my advice is to get pokemon white and pokemon black two, it will feel like the game has evolved, like the cities, also both will have zekrom who's cooler than reshiram (imo)
23:50 "The header is now blue And has a different font too. The save menu is different As well as the option menu" My type of Pokemon rap Lyrical genius right there...
It really annoys me when people call B2W2 the same game as BW. The people that say the region is copy/paste need look no further than the VERY FIRST CITY OF THE GAME. And you have other places like Virbank City, the Castelia Sewers, the Relic Passage, PWT, redesigned areas, and everything after the sixth Gym... How is that copy/paste and yet Emerald and Platinum aren't? That's what annoys me even more - when those same people give third versions like Emerald and Platinum a pass in comparison despite them being even more copy/paste than B2W2 are.
What about the gen 2 remakes. not only they were remade but they included so much new content that there is almost no end to the game. for one reason they are considered the best game of the entire franchise. I would put Gen 5 as second.
The most underrated best Pokémon game, ruined by the anime. Honestly, I feel like people lowkey skipped this game because the anime was shit. But this game was epic.
Those games just felt a bit... off to me. It's mostly the graphics and the Pokemon in that gen that I am uncomfortable with. However, the story and it's legendaries were spectacular.
Ok, but am I the only one who noticed that in B/W, Oshawott rotates his body left and right in his animation, but in B/W2, be bounces and shows you his scalchop?
The reason that Cynthia’s theme keeps getting faster is because she’s getting stronger, so the faster song symbolizes your death approaching faster than in previous games
You forgot team plasma's uniforms, in the original Black and White, they wear knight templar style uniforms and in the sequels, they wear new uniforms, black ops style or pirate uniforms but you can still see in their original uniforms where one of them buys incenses in Driftveil City. Additionally, the Shadow Triads and Zinzolin can be fought as part of the story.
Pkmn9614 Finally another person who loves Unova as much as me a lot of people hate Unova but its one of my favorite regions and this video proves how much I love it
Come on people let's remember what N said: "But, if you're thinkin' about my baby, it don't matter if you're black or white." And Professor Juniper: "It makes no difference if you're black or white, if you're a boy or a girl." Awesome work Evie ;)
I wasn't expecting that Cynthia Ultra Sun/Moon joke, oh my gosh I lost it. And wow, I'm amazed, seeing how someone would spend so much effort on something like this.
No it’s not. If anything, it would be overrated. At worst it is overlooked. I’m tired of people saying that and gen 5 is right behind gen 4 for my favorite gen, so I don’t say that as someone who doesn’t like gen 5.
one thing i like about bw2 is that when switching head pokemon in your party, it goes really fast and you can choose to move the item between pokemon, really convienient when moving amulet coin and lucky egg between my pokemon
This video is absolutely amazing! As a Generation 5 fan, thank you so much! I didn't know a lot of these! There's just one thing I have to point out though. I was hoping to find some sort of source where it lists the Pokemon sprites that did change between Black/White and Black/White 2, but I haven't found a complete one. I just want to say that the three starters all have different sprites, and each stage at that. Of course, it's too late to add this, but as someone who loves the Unova starters I just had to point it out. Once again, thanks for this video!
This video digs really deep into Pokemon in terms of sprites, music, lore, the Pokemon themselves, so much further than any other youtube videos I've seen. This is amazing and ...cute heh, i've been waiting for something like this for years. Thank you so much for your hard work.
@@russelgemramirez8876 Gen 2 had by far overall the weakest starter trio. Meganium is pure trash, Typhlosion isn't much better, Hisuian Typhlosion is good in Legends Arceus but lacking in mainline, and Feraligator is just okay. Emboar is mediocre, but Samurott is okay and Hisuian Samurott is a huge upgrade, while Serperior is one of the best starters.
Press F to pay respects to our late route 10, you will be remembered as the road with the best OST in all of the Pokemon games (Legit cried when I saw that route 10 wasn't in B2/W2)
14:28 huh, you used the Japanese version of that Gym's theme. She spells D-O-G-A-R-S in the Japanese version, while the international version spells P-O-Ken-E-M-ON (I know it's POKEMON, but the K sounds like they said "Ken"). I would have never noticed if it wasn't for my AceKard and me playing through a English-Translated version that translated items and Pokemon names and moves. DOGAS is KOFFING's original Japanese name so it makes sense. What doesn't make sense is why it was swapped to POKeMON in the international version. Was KOFFING too many syllables or the beat just wasn't right?
Probably it was just simpler to make a single international release matching the unchanging name of the series instead of making a new chant for every individual region and their different name for Koffing
WAIT A SECOND. So Black is overall more futuristic and high-tech than White, right? The cover legendary of Pokèmon Black is Zekrom, who stands for ideals. The world represented in Black is what many would consider idealistic, a world that's advanced, productive, and heavily dependent on technology. Meanwhile, White's cover legendary is Reshiram, who represents the truth. So, the Unova in Pokèmon White is more realistic and similar to our world. Sure, it's not the high-tech utopia that we want, but it's what we have. So Gamefreak changed the design of Unova based on the thing each cover legendary represented. GODAMMIT GAMEFREAK.
Naturally it subjective. But I went into this gen blind and brought me back to the franchise I thought had kinda died for me in gen 4. So there a bit of a bias notion behind it. But I love all gens for what they bring, gen 5 just restated why I loved the game franchise more.
I loved collecting those C-Gear skins. Gen V had so much attention to detail and world building in it, I miss this Game Freak so much. The variety of areas to explore alone makes it the pinnacle of the 2D games for me (okay HG you 2). I hope once they've got used to how they want the aesthetics of the 3D games to look like, they go back to this kind of meticulous design approach.
Why do people hate pokemon gen 5? They're honestly the best pokemon games to date. Best story, most heart put into it, most new Pokemon received in a game after red and blue, has a sequel that actually adds so many things and feels like a new experience, The sequel is an actual story sequel, Best Grass starter (ok that might be opinionated but hey.) Scraggy, SO MANY LEGENDARY SHINY HUNTS, individual gym themes that correspond to the environment, Really Badass mythic pokemon (3 Sword ones weather ones kinda blow), and just... so much effort and love... Like you can tell game freak tried their best on this one, it feels so good and is fun to play and return to over and over.When people said they hate this game, I think its what drove Game Freak to become the lazy corporation they are today. People just didn't like well made and content filled games I guess.
Gen 4 is better, in my opinion, gen 5 has just a few musics that are not forgetable, like N's theme, and the cities with that mechanic of adding more instruments, and theres gen 3 and 2 too
@@zuraondembeats540 I never played it, since I'm broke and never had 3DS (if ds, I usually borrow my friend, but I only play it for 10 minutes only, since they're greedy, xd). But I checked it recently, and it was nice :)
Route 10 was destroyed by a landslide presumably created by Terrakion using its signature move, Sacred Sword. Terrakion sensed that the conflict created by humans is repeating again thanks to Lord Ghetsis's act.
wow you brought me back to childhood. the whole soundtrack is awfully nostalgic. thank you for your content - me and my brother used to love your stuff!
Gosh I forgot how good B2/W2 were. I'd love to replay it, or at least finally finish all the post game stuff i was too lazy to do way back then, but I've transferred all my pokemon to SM and the only ones left are hacked legendaries and a goldeen, and 485 hours of work..
Gen. 5 is awesome. Black and White & especially Black and White 2 are amazing games. U should give it a shot because u are missing it out tremendously.
PorygonZ Some have said that "alternate story" was a line on Masuda's translator's part, so the sequel possibility still stands, to me at least. We'll find out in due time though.
@@danieljosephgomezchamah1789 If you’re only playing one and want a lot of content, go for white 2 (or black 2 I just prefer white) but if you can buy and play both for more story continuity, buy one version and then it’s sequel
She forgot to mention that in Black 2 and White 2 you can now make an item be moved from one pokemon to another or make pokemon swap items without the need of grabbing the item(s) out of the bag. If the pokemon is holding an item there is a move feature for when you tap "item" of that selected pokemon.
26:43 when i was at that route, i was so weak i healed my pokemon first and then continued and i started going through an endless loop of just fighting a trainer
19:22 I’m pretty sure this is her theme when you fight her in the PWT. Her battle in Undella Town has the BW1 theme. You can actually avoid fighting the breeders by passing by as far away from them as you can.
These are the only 2D pokemon games that feel really good to play even today. Everything is so smooth and the animated sprites are still as amazing as ever. Can't wait for these remakes.
I used to like Gen 3 Games best but now it changed 1-BW2 2-RSE 3-HGSS 4-USUM 5-BW In fact my W2 team has to be the worst on type coverage but it's awesome like the game itself
I don't know why anyone can hate this generation if it's your least favourite fine however you got to appreciate the music, art style, story and features.
+Star Pit Nice meeting you here. Black 2 was the first game where I actually caught all the legendaries. I didn't even know that Groudon and Rayquaza were in SoulSilver.
Black and White + Black and White 2 are my favorite Pokemon games as well. With Heartgold and Soulsilver + Gold, Silver and Crystal coming really close & Sun and Moon + Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon coming at 3rd.
20:37 This song brings back memories, B&W were my first ever pokemon game, and when i would reach the final pokemon of a gym leader... oooh... i just get excited....
Gen 4 and 5 are by far the best there are. The story, the content and most of all the music just seem so good. Pokemon X/Y were alright because they added the new mega evolution, but after that, I'd say every game was a let down
You actually made 2 small mistakes. You can capture a Dratini in the wild in Black 2, fishing in the Dragonspire Tower, so it's not a version exclusive. The Gible line is version exclusive to Black 2 though, as you cannot catch any wild Gible in Unova. Also, you can catch Breloom in the Pinwheel forest inner Hidden Grott, so he is available both in Black and White 2
Thanks SO MUCH for 250k everyone! Here's the long awaited generation 5 version differences video I've been promising for ages lol. (Please read all of the description if you get time too! :D)

Opelucid City:
Black - 2050s
White - 1970s
ABCDEFGH
*yes*
I prefer white opelucid
hmm
Definitely not the 1970's, more like the 1910's.
Lol 1970s as if cities were rural old shitholes then. It's only 50 years ago lol
Random Idea - maybe the reason that certain locations are different between Black and White is based off the region's legendaries - Reshiram is the Pokémon of truth, while Zekrom is the Pokémon of ideals.

Or maybe I'm an idiot and this is outright stated in-game.
I feel like that was at least implied somewhere in the games
Black route 4 was in a future where it was modernized in just a few yeara
White route 4 was in a future where it was being developed but an ancient ruin was discovered while under construction
Btw: white is zekrom
Black is reshiram
U said it wrong
Zekrom is truth
Reshiram is ideals
Marumaro so you say that Black version is the actual realistic timeline if u wanna line up whit Ash
xX_Try_It_HardXx rekt
I feel like they missed a big opportunity for black city and white forest where in black city you could have a apartment and in white forest you could have had a base
Theo the Greek Thunder an apartment and a base isn’t better than Black tower and White tree hollow unless it had more to do.
Theo the Greek Thunder That’s actually a fantastic idea.
Agreed the reason I like the Platinum game out of almost all the other games is because I could have my own house.
I want a base in da big tree
Hopefully in the remakes
The differences don't end here.
These games' message is poetic.
You skipped a few details on Black and White differences.
Driftveil's market changes between versions: in Black, the market has all kinds of fruit and flowers and the NPC dialogues reflect this, by saying that it's great to have a lot of different fruit and flowers while in White, fruit and flowers are only seasonal, so they change according to the game season, and NPCs say that it's wonferul to see how fruit changes during the year.
This is a very nice detail reflecting the games lore: Black is a most-idealistic world, where Opelucid is over technological, almost utopic, but there is still a small trace of justice, truth and realism, the most prominent being Drayden as Gym Leader instead of Iris, because ideals need to be supported by a solid base of truth (also, Reshiram is the legendary of the protagonist reflecting this).
In White, however, Truth triumphed and reigns towards the region: Opelucid respects traditions of the past, but with a small touch of novelty, being Iris as a Gym Leader (and Zekrom as your legendary).
Black's market reflects the beauty of different kinds of beautiful things, while White's market reflects the truth of waiting the year, accepting we can't have all at once except by importing it, embracing traditions and seasons as they come, appreciating the wait to enjoy things as they should be realistically.
In Black, the evolution of the double battles are rotation battles, where you use 3 Pokémon but in a very different way, with the rotation gimmick being brand new and allowing a more dynamic gameplay.
In White, in triple battles you still add one more Pokémon to the frenzy, but in a very traditional way, respecting the identity of Pokémon battles as they were before.

@@zuperzoniko6365 How is it annoying? It fits them perfectly and on my opinion is really good
@@desiterdane4286 WHOOSSHH!! 😂😂
@@zuperzoniko6365 What, how was that supposed to be a joke?
They are, but it’s barely different
everyone else: gen 4 remakes when
me: GEN 5 REMAKES WHEN
Same
I just can't wait to reexperience it in 3d (hopefully they introduce Zekrom/Reshiram/Kyurem's original form)
Me XD
I really don’t want them to remaking Generation 4 and 5 because, I know GF is gonna to nerve the difficulty
sans
They got their remakes man, they get theirs after Sinnoh’s, Kalos’, and Johto’s remakes
Me too.
This video digs really deep into Pokemon in terms of sprites, music, lore, the Pokemon themselves, so much further than any other youtube videos I've seen. This is amazing and ...cute heh, i've been waiting for something like this for years. Thank you so much for your hard work.
Thank you so much! Hearing feedback like this really makes my day :)
You made it sound sarcastic, but the repel thing was actually a huge quality of life thing that I love
2:03 Opelucid City should've just been named "Rave City" in Pokémon Black.
I don't understand why some people hated Gen. 5, like this was literally the last Gen where Gamefreak really outdid themselves.
cause it wasnt the same formula that they used over and over and tried new things
In opinion of most people, the weakest starter trio
@@russelgemramirez8876 Gen 2 had by far overall the weakest starter trio. Meganium is pure trash, Typhlosion isn't much better, Hisuian Typhlosion is good in Legends Arceus but lacking in mainline, and Feraligator is just okay. Emboar is mediocre, but Samurott is okay and Hisuian Samurott is a huge upgrade, while Serperior is one of the best starters.
2:00
cress: i don’t wanna work at the restaurant anymore, cilan and chili. My new job is just standing and playing music now.
I love it when people who hates Gen 5 comes and bothers to go to a 30 min. Video about it.
Press F to pay respects to our late route 10, you will be remembered as the road with the best OST in all of the Pokemon games (Legit cried when I saw that route 10 wasn't in B2/W2)
14:28 huh, you used the Japanese version of that Gym's theme.
She spells D-O-G-A-R-S in the Japanese version, while the international version spells P-O-Ken-E-M-ON (I know it's POKEMON, but the K sounds like they said "Ken").
I would have never noticed if it wasn't for my AceKard and me playing through a English-Translated version that translated items and Pokemon names and moves.
DOGAS is KOFFING's original Japanese name so it makes sense.
What doesn't make sense is why it was swapped to POKeMON in the international version. Was KOFFING too many syllables or the beat just wasn't right?
Probably it was just simpler to make a single international release matching the unchanging name of the series instead of making a new chant for every individual region and their different name for Koffing
WAIT A SECOND. So Black is overall more futuristic and high-tech than White, right? The cover legendary of Pokèmon Black is Zekrom, who stands for ideals. The world represented in Black is what many would consider idealistic, a world that's advanced, productive, and heavily dependent on technology.
Meanwhile, White's cover legendary is Reshiram, who represents the truth. So, the Unova in Pokèmon White is more realistic and similar to our world. Sure, it's not the high-tech utopia that we want, but it's what we have.
So Gamefreak changed the design of Unova based on the thing each cover legendary represented. GODAMMIT GAMEFREAK.
Disco Dog, no. Reshiram is for Black, Zekrom is for White.
Disco Dog that's what I was about to say
lmao you would have thought this would be obvious to some people
Gen 5. The best gen! So much content and stands alone.
StarForceKid194 *However, I disagree*
StarForceKid194 Good gen but not the best but it's your opinion
Lol that colress touch. 👌🏼
Naturally it subjective. But I went into this gen blind and brought me back to the franchise I thought had kinda died for me in gen 4. So there a bit of a bias notion behind it. But I love all gens for what they bring, gen 5 just restated why I loved the game franchise more.
yep! the best !
Even though I know everything that's in the video, I still love watching Black 2 videos so here I am!
Me too
*A 2 mintes video that surely help my mentalhealt* (...).
*A 30 minutes video just to know the sequels differences each one detailed* (HELL YEAH!!).
*Hail yeah
@ 19:09 cynthia's battle theme but every time you fight her in a new game it keeps getting faster
I love how these are probably one of the only games that justify getting both versions. The amount of content in both B&W and B&W2 is amazing.
Genwunner: This is the worst generation of Pokemon EVER!!!
Me: Shut Up...
Mint Tea Sea Let's see gen has rocks, Sludge, a ball, magnets, ect
Mr. ShinyHunter and actual shit
Mr. ShinyHunter Funny thing is that I grew up with Gen 1 but I freaking love Sapphire and Black lol
+Mr. ShinyHunter Same here!
Why do you have to be a genwunner to hate gen 5?
You sound stupid.
I’m watching this 6 years later and still can’t believe how much time and effort you put into this breakdown video. Great job and great work! Thanks!
I loved collecting those C-Gear skins. Gen V had so much attention to detail and world building in it, I miss this Game Freak so much. The variety of areas to explore alone makes it the pinnacle of the 2D games for me (okay HG you 2). I hope once they've got used to how they want the aesthetics of the 3D games to look like, they go back to this kind of meticulous design approach.
I doubt they will, they don't seem to care about putting effort into their games like they used to.

Dingus Note
I like to cook pasta long enough to the point that some people
would consider it inedible. I like it.
Why do people hate pokemon gen 5? They're honestly the best pokemon games to date. Best story, most heart put into it, most new Pokemon received in a game after red and blue, has a sequel that actually adds so many things and feels like a new experience, The sequel is an actual story sequel, Best Grass starter (ok that might be opinionated but hey.) Scraggy, SO MANY LEGENDARY SHINY HUNTS, individual gym themes that correspond to the environment, Really Badass mythic pokemon (3 Sword ones weather ones kinda blow), and just... so much effort and love... Like you can tell game freak tried their best on this one, it feels so good and is fun to play and return to over and over.When people said they hate this game, I think its what drove Game Freak to become the lazy corporation they are today. People just didn't like well made and content filled games I guess.
Literally no one hates Gen 5
@@kingbowser4542 Popular opinion has changed in a year for sure. But it was generally hated for a long time.
@@pirateguykarl I remember Gen 5 being hated when the BW games came out, after 2 years no one hated it.
Can't wait for the gen 5 remakes where Professor Juniper's Minccino is Shiny Locked
I know you won't see this, but you are an inspiration CandyEvie
Thank you so much! That's so kind ♥
Cofagrigus Games she has seen it
Cofagrigus Games u lied to us .-.
CandyEvie It means the world that you replied. I can tell you have a kind heart
gen 5 had the best music, like let's be honest here...
I AGREE!!!
Gen 4 is better, in my opinion, gen 5 has just a few musics that are not forgetable, like N's theme, and the cities with that mechanic of adding more instruments, and theres gen 3 and 2 too
I don't really remember to be honest, but Gen 4 had the most calming and nostalgic there ever was.
Gen 6? The themes were so cool
@@zuraondembeats540 I never played it, since I'm broke and never had 3DS (if ds, I usually borrow my friend, but I only play it for 10 minutes only, since they're greedy, xd).
But I checked it recently, and it was nice :)
Temporal diamond, celestial pearl? Nah BLACK AND WHITE 3
C9 Shr00d Maybe after the remakes of diamond and pearl :D
iiApex_ Yas
i like Briliant Diamond and Sparkling Pearl more
GASED PLATNIUM!
Robert Florin Curca Pokemon Platnium but after the cold war?
Route 10 was destroyed by a landslide presumably created by Terrakion using its signature move, Sacred Sword. Terrakion sensed that the conflict created by humans is repeating again thanks to Lord Ghetsis's act.
I just realized how much content B/W 2 has. I need to play it
kiwara Yes. Play it. It's amazing. Easily the best Pokemon game of all time in terms of content and mechanics.
Who else likes zekrom more than reshram but likes black more than white?
Me!!
I love both of them honestly.
Me
Heck, younger me only got Black bc I thought Zekrom was catchable in it (despite Reshiram being the box legendary)
I'm opposite.
@@kappapond saaaaammmmeeee
Gaius and Frederick? What is this? Fire Emblem Awakening?
I was about to mention that Soren
RiddleSticks - Ikr
Sounds pretty solid to me.
RiddleSticks - Chrom weak? But every character in Awakening becomes a god through Second Seals!
+MudKevin I thought you were me since we have the exact same pics, lol.
wow you brought me back to childhood. the whole soundtrack is awfully nostalgic. thank you for your content - me and my brother used to love your stuff!
Gosh I forgot how good B2/W2 were. I'd love to replay it, or at least finally finish all the post game stuff i was too lazy to do way back then, but I've transferred all my pokemon to SM and the only ones left are hacked legendaries and a goldeen, and 485 hours of work..
Gen. 5 is awesome. Black and White & especially Black and White 2 are amazing games. U should give it a shot because u are missing it out tremendously.
Let's hope US/UM will be the B2/W2 of S/M.
PorygonZ Some have said that "alternate story" was a line on Masuda's translator's part, so the sequel possibility still stands, to me at least. We'll find out in due time though.
PorygonZ Indeed, plus, many things were left in the open in sumo, so it would be good if said things were explored in more detail.
It may be in an alternate reality, but that doesn't mean it takes place at the same exact time
Samuel Schilmeister Yeah, that could be.
How if the protagonists are the same

Thank you, good sir.
(Also I accidentally boiled mac and cheese into a block of gel the other day and it was surprisingly good)
Degenerates
Gen 5 is great, it has enough version differences to make the duo of games WORTH IT.
ok one question I'm thinking of buying one of the four games but I don't know which one I need help
@@danieljosephgomezchamah1789 If you’re only playing one and want a lot of content, go for white 2 (or black 2 I just prefer white) but if you can buy and play both for more story continuity, buy one version and then it’s sequel
thanks a lot sadly i cant buy 2 but thanks for the recomendation but if i only buy white two do i lose some important parts or i can play it normally?
@@danieljosephgomezchamah1789 you can play it normally, it’s fine stand alone
These games have the best OST of the entire franchise imo
You missed to mention Team Plasma's battle theme changed !
Heck Yeah!!! I Love That Intense Music
Well thats kinda obvious, team plasma's been redone completely.
I just realized.
The version differences make it look like they take place in COMPLETELY DIFFERENT time periods.
No different legendary pokemon changing the world
She forgot to mention that in Black 2 and White 2 you can now make an item be moved from one pokemon to another or make pokemon swap items without the need of grabbing the item(s) out of the bag.
If the pokemon is holding an item there is a move feature for when you tap "item" of that selected pokemon.
B2/W2 are the only games I’ve never played. Might be time change that.
U should.
They're literally the best games
@@symphomaniac the original black and white are better than black and white 2 fight me. Also B/W2 completely messed up Driftveil city.
You miss they are great games.
@@jotarokujo9644 Ah yes. Someone who shares my unpopular opinion. The first ones were much better.
A lot of people will be probably mad but I'll say generation 5 is one of the best generations
26:43 when i was at that route, i was so weak i healed my pokemon first and then continued and i started going through an endless loop of just fighting a trainer
19:22 I’m pretty sure this is her theme when you fight her in the PWT. Her battle in Undella Town has the BW1 theme.
You can actually avoid fighting the breeders by passing by as far away from them as you can.
I now realize why thw black city has the market..
Because then its the black market 😅
that’s it
i’m listening to the entire B2W2 soundtrack now
BW2 are my favorite games in the entire franchise by far.
Aura Fox Black 2 and SoulSilver are my favorites
Black & White and Black and White 2 is awesome. It's right up there with Gold, Silver & Crystal and Heartgold & Soulsilver.
BW and B2W2 are the best games alongside Platinum and Emerald.
I personally love gen 4 games
These are the only 2D pokemon games that feel really good to play even today. Everything is so smooth and the animated sprites are still as amazing as ever. Can't wait for these remakes.
Best sprites
i like the things you do on your channel! you are super!
You have the cutest accent!
"...And Juniper's Minccino is now a Cinccino, and cannot be shiny."
*Angry British accent*
"THANK YOU."
I used to like Gen 3 Games best but now it changed
1-BW2
2-RSE
3-HGSS
4-USUM
5-BW
In fact my W2 team has to be the worst on type coverage but it's awesome like the game itself
MAB6253 1:BW2
2:HGSS
3:FRLG
4:Emerald
MAB6253 aaaa
The remakes kept the mantle, 3 and 6 were great and it combined the 2 with easier EV training. It's everything I wanted.
Gen. 5 is my absolute favorite. It did alot of things right to me in so many ways. Gen. 6 & Gen. 7 can go cry in the corner.
1. FRLG
2. Emerald
3. HGSS
4. Platinum
5. B2W2
6. XY
7. BW
8. USUM
9. S/Sh
My list as a 24 year old life long fan, anyways
5:48
Why are they just standing there?
5:51
You think someone not recognize a legendary Pokémon in the middle of the road!
man i fcking love gen 5 i know a lot of people hate gen 5 but i love it
zorro 0512 me too
I don't know why anyone can hate this generation if it's your least favourite fine however you got to appreciate the music, art style, story and features.
Fav gen
+Star Pit Nice meeting you here.
Black 2 was the first game where I actually caught all the legendaries.
I didn't even know that Groudon and Rayquaza were in SoulSilver.
I didn't know you could catch Groudon and Kyogre in Emerald and ended up getting Ruby and Sapphire just to get them.
black and white were my favourite pokemon games of all time
Black and White + Black and White 2 are my favorite Pokemon games as well. With Heartgold and Soulsilver + Gold, Silver and Crystal coming really close & Sun and Moon + Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon coming at 3rd.
I don't think I ever finished my version of Black 2. I probably should finish it
U should.
Back 2/white 2 has the best post game
Do it. You could even make the game harder after the you beat the elite 4 and you’ll be battling into trainers at level 70-80+ post game. Way more fun
20:37
This song brings back memories, B&W were my first ever pokemon game, and when i would reach the final pokemon of a gym leader... oooh... i just get excited....
And now you're gonna get spammed about "WHERE IS X AND Y VERSION DIFFERENCES" from impatient people lol
They won't have to wait as long at least haha, X and Y are a joke in comparison to gen 5 lol
CandyEvie so true lmao
CandyEvie So fcking true ^^
OMG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR LIKE FOREVER!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Sinnoh and unova have always been my favorites in that order , I love the places and stories
Gen 4 and 5 are by far the best there are. The story, the content and most of all the music just seem so good. Pokemon X/Y were alright because they added the new mega evolution, but after that, I'd say every game was a let down
I miss gen 5 :(
This made me replay the game. I see how amazing this game is now
Gen. V deserve a spot in the video game hall of fame.
10+ years later and pokemon fan still love it.. probably
@@jakpote88 yeah they do probably
Gen 7 too when it's time
You actually made 2 small mistakes. You can capture a Dratini in the wild in Black 2, fishing in the Dragonspire Tower, so it's not a version exclusive. The Gible line is version exclusive to Black 2 though, as you cannot catch any wild Gible in Unova. Also, you can catch Breloom in the Pinwheel forest inner Hidden Grott, so he is available both in Black and White 2
She was specifically referring to the shiny Dratini that you get from Benga in White 2
