I'm playing on White 2 because I played White, and it's consistent with the story and such.

I won't get Black 2, I haven't bought complementary versions since Ruby and Sapphire; it seems like a big waste of money to me :\

Pretty much got Black 2 only because I played Black 1, so I wanted the story I was playing to actually make sense(story is everything).

Bought White 2, 'cos I thought White 2 is the continuation of White, which I got last time.

I got Black 2 since I much prefer the version exclusives and I never liked the idea of White Forest. Black 2 has Buneary, Registeel, Gible, Ariados, Heracross; all the cool Pokémon! Also I got Black first time around so I'd feel weird swapping now haha, continuity is key. :D

I got white 2 eventhough I played black first, I didn't want to go with white 2 since I wanted to do a continuation but then again I couldn't find a rom download for black 2. And I just wanted to play desperately regardless of the version. Kind of regretted it after I saw the cutscene of Reshiram, I just think Zekrom's is cooler.

I'm still playing White 2 at the moment. I'll probably start switching back and forth between the versions soon.

Pokemon Black Version 2!
646-black.gif


Pokemon Seen so far: 287|386
Pokemon Caught so far: 280|338

Looks like the Isshu/Unova Pokedex is almost complete.

Pokemon that needs to level grind: Tepig, Oshawott, Tirtouga, Archen, Pawniard, Spheal, and Pupitar.
Pokemon that needs breeding: Roselia/Roserade, Volcarona, Drifblim, Piloswine/Mamoswine, and Golurk (Which I'm breeding right now)
Pokemon that I need to trade: either Roufflet or Braviary, maybe Braviary since I have Mandibuzz right now, and Pinsir, I could get one in the Hidden Grotto, but that would be annoying as heck, so I'm not going to bother.

Once I get most of the Pokedex filled in Black 2, I'll begin playing more of White 2 since I was focusing on playing Black 2 right now.

I got Black 2, because I thought that my Japanese White 2 keys could get transferred there, too bad it couldn't get transferred...Anyways, I prefer to get the first of the pair (HGSS=HG, B2W2=B2)

I'm currently playing White 2, which I'm planning to play the most. Also I have Black 2. At the moment, I'm in Opelucid City in both games.

Black 2, to continue the plot of Black. All that's left for me to do is soft reset for some shiny legendaries, finish up the PokeDex, and do what is necessary to max out my trainer card! I'm also trying to make the "perfect" Join Avenue. I've been playing since day one of its American release but I still have so much to do!

I went with Black 2, because I went with Black originally, so it seemed like the logical thing to do. I don't know if I'll ever get White 2 or not...probably not, because I didn't get a copy of White. There is the possibility I'll get both White and White 2 in the future, because I'm unlikely to ever restart my copy of Black, but I'm content to wait and see what the next version released is and when it'll be released before I think about it.

Pokemon White 2 player over here!

It seems to be a pretty good mix between both the Black and White versions. Awesome.

I bought Black2 - my main reasoning - Meowth is only obtainable to male players - even now I'm still trying to get it, I do want to get White2 since Skitty is only on it (version exclusive) first I want to buy SoulSilver and Pearl - for me, my dream has come true- having my favorite Unova Pokemon in my team [that is Liepard].

I don't have either game yet but I do plan on getting Black 2 first since I love the version exclusives better and I also played Black first of the original pair so it'd be fitting I'd get the sequel of the one I played.
