Should Pokemon White owners buy White 2 and Vice Versa?

[crystalzapdos]

Get Black 2, then later you can get White and Transfer Challenge Mode from Black on to White, so you can play through Black in the regular version and White in Challenge Mode.

I got both Black1 and White1, but I'm only getting one sequel, White2, for Reshiram, White Kyurem, and Reuniclus.

[Poke_Mania97]

This is what i was thinking. But tbh it should be down to the person's choice. I played Black, and Black 2 looks awesome, it has Black Kyurem and Latios. But i like White Kyurem more. so for me its White Kyurem vs Latios.

Getting the sequel to your game is the smartest choice. Why?

You like the other mascot better? Just transfer Reshiram/Zekrom from BW1 and make one of them fuse ith Kyurem.

You want the exclusive area (White forest/Black city) of the other version, the other mode your game doesn't have Challenge/Assist mode , Registeel/Regice and you have the other? Just link with a friend, with Unova link, all them can be unlocked on the other game.

The things you CAN'T change:

Route 4 (Ruins from Relic Castle age) x Route 4 (Newly Built Buildings)

Reverse Mountain appearance Lava/Water.

The area title cards and battle stat bar: White and Black matching their versions.

The exclusive layout of Victory Road and Plasma Frigate

The exclusive appearance of Mistralton City soil near the airport.

The exclusive Pokémon.

The exclusive Join Avenue items.

And of course, Opelucid.

Also the gender of the Jellicent that appears in Undella Bay is dependent on your game (B2 gets male, W2 gets female; trivial, I know, but worth mentioning for coverage's sake).

Only one inconsistency with that. Not everyone has friends they usually hang (or not hang) out with that plays pokemon! Thus making it extremely harder for you to reap the benefits of the other version. Though there is also the fact that not everyone has two DSes, but most people by now should if they never did any trade-ins for newer hardware models.

[Bolt the Cat]

Did this thread really get approved by a mod or are we finally allowed to start making thread here? If the former. Wow. Just wow.

On topic: the only benefit to having both Black 1 and Black 2 or White 1 and White 2 is access to both Reshiram and Zekrom. If you don't care about that, then look at some of the things Master Emerald listed to decide which one to get.

[LightSuicune]

I just wish they made one third version, that's still a sequel. I hate the fact that everything is still version exclusive. -_- They could have made a Pokemon Gray (for example) and still have made it a sequel. They could possibly do this for the next generation?

Anyway White owners should buy White2 vice versa.

[FullmetalPikachu]

Just like most have been saying, I think it depends on the person. I'm getting White2 only because I like White Kyurem, not because I played the first White... Of course, I've play both Black and White, so I guess for me it doesn't really matter either way, lol.
Now on the other hand, my other 3 brothers have only played one version, the older has play Black, and the younger 2 have played White. But all 3 of them are getting Black2 because of different reasons. The older of the 3 is getting it because he likes Black Kyurem better, the middle one likes the version exclusives better and the 3rd one is getting it because he has always liked Zekrom better then Reshiram.
So yeah, I'm sticking with, it depends on what the person wants to do.

[arceus7]

... Considering you can have both version in the same game it doesnt really matter if you like white kyurem or black kyurem more, the version you get is for the exclusives and the continuity. I had black and white but I played black alot more than I did white so Im getting Black 2

[jabs4]

I believe Pokemon Co suggested that you get the sequel to your game. I assume it's for continuity, and possibly a future giveaway w/ the dreamworld.

Yep. That's the plan for me as far as I'm concerned.

[Crystalunik]

Im getting whte 2 ( my sequel) even though some of the ones i waant for my party are in black, i can just trade it anytime. I also prefer regice over registeel

[vapor_trails]

Rarely any difference, only version exclusives and black city/white forest, honestly you can just trade for version exclusives anyways so imo it makes no difference just as all the previous generations were

[unconscious charizard]

im going to get both(even though i only have white) im going to get w2 from my dad on the release date and 2 or 3 weeks later i wwould have saved enough money to get b2 as well

It's a bit more than that. All and all, there's:

-Version-Exclusive Pokemon
-Aesthetic Differences (Opelucid, Route 4, Black City/White Forest (they're the same thing this time around), Mistralton, Rebirth Mountain, the eyecatch and HP bar colors)
-Layout Differences (the Plasma Frigate and Victory Road are set up differently between games)
-Keys (Black 2 gets Challenge Mode while White 2 gets Assist Mode)
-Fes Missions and Join Avenue stuff

[IheartZoroark]

I'm getting Black 2. It's kind of a weird preference of mine to have mismatched versions. Like mentioned already, I can just trade version exclusives, and I have both Reshiram and Zekrom. Just a preference, really.

[Pokeparadox]

I chose white, now if i chose B2 it wouldn't make much sense and i would be able to catch zekrom twice and reshiram no times

[EpicSquirtle]

Well, I have both Black and White. But, I play White more because I wanted Braviary more than Mandibuzz. I'll get Black 2 and White 2. But, play Black 2 more. Isn't Black 2 the continuation of White, or is it with Black? I'm confused.

White comes before white2 Black comes before Black2 Why would it go White then BLACK2 or black then WHITE2?

[#SwoobatForUbers]

I have Black and White, but getting Black 2 first for Challange Mode.

[FastRapidash]

I have Black, and going to get B2 because the Pokemon you can get on it are more for me than on W2!
(also I like the look of Black Kyreum!)
