  • Does anyone still play Black And White? If so I'm restarting my game and we could do something fun.
    Idk roleplay, a locke it doesn't matter.

    I also want to get into competitive battling so if your interested in that as well I'll probably finish the game in a month so.. (training lvl 100's with Ev's will be really hard though)

    I don't know why but I don't want to get into the newer games because too many people play it. I like taking my time to complete my game 100%, so its pretty exhausting and time consuming work.

    So if anyones interested, or atleast PLAYS the game from time to time, please tell me!

    Unfortunately, I don't find myself playing these games any longer.

    When I had first started Black version, things seemed to have been quite interesting, as they were all new to me. Over time, I began getting used to them, causing these aspects to be less and less intriguing. Unlike previous games, I've found some of its locations to be sort of out-of-place, in a way (haven't precisely noticed this in my first run, but have in latter ones), which didn't help.

    Last time I have gone through either Black or White would about two years ago, which is a long time. I'm not sure as to if I'll consider giving them another go in future.

  • I am currently preoccupied with my 6th Gen games at the moment, but if I ever feel the need to want to return to Unova I will probably replay my old Black & White games, and given my Black 2 save file corrupted (and I since started a new save on White 2) I do feel more at heart with the original games but both are still equal.

    So yeah, I still play my old 5th Gen games if I'm bored with what I'm focusing on.

  • I prefer gen 5, it's completely underrated. I may not have like a few pokemon, but that aside, it was an amazing reboot of the series. And, I mean, lillgant, serperior, samurott, liepard, jellicent, volcarona, whimsicott, leavanny, zoroark, musharna, hydreigon, swanna, galvantula, sawbuck, mandibuzz, mienshao, emolga, zebstrika, I can go on and on with favorites of mine and how it makes the game very replayable, yet distinct as being able to use gen 5 pokemon. I really can't wait for the next reboot. Til then, gen 5 is the best.

  • Well I haven't played BW in at least half a year (at least any new games on it), but i'm sure there will come a time that I end up firing it up again. They're still among my favorite games in the series, so they're definitely something i'll want to come back to again. As for B2W2, I was just playing my main White 2 last week...so that speaks for itself.

    I have just restarted my white and white 2 versions and have been switching between them and gen 6 games.

    • Seen today
    I'm currently replaying White using a rather unusual team and restricting myself to grind as less as possible. It's really challenging, but it makes me think more about strategy and I get to use Pokemon I never had used before.

  • Thanks guys! It's cool to know people still play, because I don't want to restart and get so far without any others to play with :(
    First I'm going to defeat the main story, then I'm going to start EV/IV training as soon as possible.

    Well as a matter of fact, I've started really REALLY liking these games again... At the time when these first came out, I didn't really enjoy them that much. But now it's almost as if i'm craving to play them o.o

    I'm going to buy pokemon white or white 2 because I already have black and back 2.
    Once I do, i'm planning to play those games 100% and take my time to enjoy every aspect of the game.
    But sure, once I have some more time, I'll do some sort of activity with B/W with you. ^.^

    I've never gotten into battling/trading online yet... So it might be nice to get into a little bit of that sweet online stuff :3
    Right now at the moment, I'm mapping for DJG on his new ROM hack, Pokemon RD Broken Timeline. It's really fun as well.
    And i'm also trying to complete Omega Ruby. It's taking a while and to be honest, it's kinda boring now...
    I'm just not able to engage myself in the really new pokemon games anymore... I miss my pokemon Emerald ;c

    Well, once I actually get in the game with B/W, which I am excited to do, I will defiantly do a few battles or something with you guys :3

  • I'm still playing my Black 2 thanks to the post game PWT tournament which is immensely entertaining, particularly in the 'world leader' and 'champion' tournament.

  • I haven't played the original Black and White in a while since I prefer their sequels, but I do love them! I have actually been meaning to go back and play White some time soon. It's been calling me lately, but so have Platinum, Y, and HeartGold, haha.

    Competitive battling in Gen V may be hard to get into on your physical copy though. The Nintendo Wifi Connection for DS and Wii games is no longer running. :( So if you want to get into competitive play using your actual games and not simulators, I recommend moving on up to gen VI. But hey, if you have some friends locally that enjoy the gen V metagame, then there ya go!

    PS: Petilil for best gen V Pokemon ;D

  • I still play the game from time to time to get breeding materials. Also, now internet capability so there isn't much you'd be able to do with others. Also, I think I'll be restarting my game soon after I transfer all my Pokémon from my SS Version all the way to the bank.

  • I haven't played any of the Unova games for a while now, not that I didn't enjoy them but I don't think they have as much replay value as the rest. I might return to Black once I've completed Alpha Sapphire and Platinum, I have a good team lined up for if I ever do return to those games.
