Should Pokemon White owners buy White 2 and Vice Versa?

[Akiro16]

I was going to get White 2, but I looked at the exclusive on the site and saw that for some strange reason, Garchomp was exclusive to Black 2 and that there was no equivalent for white 2. Every other exclusives as an opposite (electabuzz vs magmar, heracross vs pinsir, etc.) but here, there is no pseudo legendary exclusive to White 2. Is it an error or is it really that dumb?

[ParaChomp]

I regret me and my brother agreeing to buy the sequels in contrast to our versions (with me owning White and Black 2). I didn't know exactly how you could start the game in challenge mode but I finally find out that only a version of Black 2 that has beaten the champion for the first time unlocking the harder difficulty can transfer it.

I wouldn't have bown 30 hours into it (23 on the first play-through and 7 on the second) if I had know this sooner ("Darn it! Nobody reads the manual!" ~Doug Dimadome, owner of the Dimsdale Dimadome).

Serebii Joe, if you're reading this, please update the difficulty settings and Unova link pages to include that you can only transfer settings that you unlock.

Oh well, look at the bright side, 3 Genesect.

just for continuation purposes, i would get white 2 because i got white. the memory link is a great feature and makes a lot more sense with W-W2,B-B2

[Vinny White]

I think it makes sense.

I agree with you !!

I have White, but I'm going to get Black 2. The main reason is I bough White because you only can have Braviary in White. The reason I'm getting Black 2 is, because of the challange key and shiny Gible, futuristic designs so and so forth. White > Black, but Black 2 > White 2. To be honest.

Should owners of Pokemon White buy White 2 and vice versa? I suspect that it would benefit you to buy the opposite version given how you can experience things you missed as well as obtain version exclusive Pokemon you may not otherwise have.

NOPE! I picked Pokemon White in 2011 and I stayed on the White side by picking White 2. WHITE POWER!!!

Between accessing Challenge Mode and the far better (IMO) Pass Powers that Black Levels net you in the Entralink, it was a no brainer to go from my White version to Black 2. My only problem now is I don't know anyone in the area who's actually bought White 2 XP

[TherianForm]

Yes, I think it they should as it is the sequel. I did, and things are going great

[HoennDreamer]

I couldn't decide so i got both :P

[Jesses_Meowth]

Purely so the boxes look right on my shelf, I chose to get White 2, having had White previously.

[JetshipperKekkaishi]

I got White 2 because I have White 1. I need to finish the story. I don't care for exclusives. But I wouldn't mind if I could get Garchomp. But I wanted to do the Memory Link.

[Zalman]

Back in the day, I chose Black simply because of two things: I prefer the color, and I like the futuristic environments. This generation was actually the first time I didn't prefer one cover legendary over the other. I think Reshiram is just as cool as Zekrom.

Because of this choice, I bought Black 2. It just makes more sense to me to choose the sequel to the game you own. Game Freak also recommended that you did so... So I did so. (And I secretly adore the Black 2 box art.)

[Trainer Grey]

I'm definitely going for Black2. In the prequels I bought White, with the idea that White Forest might be awesome. Since back then nothing much was known to me about Black&White so I imagined it'd be something like the treehouse city in the RSE games. Since Black had a city I couldn't imagine that White would just have a forest. I was wrong. It's just a forest where you can catch some lvl5 pokemon from previous regions. I had my SoulSilver game for that, so it was a total let down Hearing Black having a city where you can battle trainers, I was kind of jealouse :P So I am defiinitely going to buy Black2!

[Agonist]

I got Black and White, and Black 2 and White 2. So yeah, I don't really miss out on anything.

[Xweek]

Bought White originally, so this time I went for...Black 2.


Funny how it seems that nobody is going with a Black 1/White 2 pattern though.

[dphoenix84]

it just makes more sense to me to continue the story ... B > B2

[Furret-Luver]

i have white and decided to get white 2, so i get Reshiram because i already have Zekrom. so if i want any pokemon from black 2 that aren't in white 2, I'll just trade with a freind. problem solved. so overall, my decision was based on the legendary pokemon (pokemon my friends wouldn't trade me.)

[PopPrincess_Lyra]

I never intended to get White2 coz I have White. I rather get B2 since I get to play in the diff version. There's no continuation since the games are the same. But mom bought me White2 ^^; I had no other choice, nya~

Actually, I did lol. I got Black the first time so I got White 2 this time...not really thinking about "continuing the story" because I kinda figured the story is pretty much the same in both games, unless I'm missing something? Besides the version exclusives, Black City/White Forest, and aesthetic differences I don't really see them as completely separate games. Yet again I didn't do too much research into these games before I received White 2 because I didn't really want to be spoiled. I doubt I will regret getting the opposite of what I got last time.

So I had Black origanally bthen lost it(along with 3 years of events and about 400 pokemon I have trained completley). Then a friend gave me his Wwhite to replace it and he never played it. So I've played through both multiple times. So I'll get both probably whenever I get the moneys.
