The Fifth Generation Chit-Chat Thread



Welcome everyone, to The Fifth Generation's Chit-Chat thread, where you all can discuss, rant, or praise everything and anything about the Fifth Gen Games: Black, White, Black 2 and White 2! Here, anything is open for discussion as long as it relates to the games!


Casual chit-chat though this is, there are a few guidelines that must be laid out to ensure that this is fun for everyone:
  • While you do not need to adhere to the current topic being discussed if you aren't terribly interested in it, do try to acknowledge the topic before switching it. As this is a chit-chat thread and the topic is generally open, it's okay to have multiple topics going on at once.
  • Have fun!

Gosh it's been so long since I've played these games. I'm thinking about picking them back up when I finish my national Dex in 6th gen. All these years and I still haven't even caught most of the legendaries in White 2. Gotta do something about that!

Awh, that sounds cool - What's your favourite 5th gen legend? o:

I've almost picked them all up too; hopefully the pokemon legendary pick-up event for their 20th anniversary will help out on that!

Meloetta, for sure! I like Kyurem too. I haven't caught any of the Regis that you can catch in B/W 2 though, or the Swords of Justice. I need to finally get my hands on some of those event exclusives too, I've only gotten Meloetta, sadly ;-;

Kyurem is my favorite Gen 5 legendary. The way you battle him is insane. Everything turns into snow and stuff. I was slightly scared of it. But still, a pretty awesome fight.

Aaaaa I remember how lovely the story and (especially) the soundtrack of Generation V were! It's a shame that these games have mostly faded out from my memory. :c

My favorite legendary from this generation would probably be Victini! That thing is absolutely adorable, though I admittedly only like it because of the movie it premiered in, rather than the games. I don't think I've even seen a Victini in the games before, haha.

I really loved the dragon trio. Fire, Ice and Electric always do great trios if you know your legendaries. Meloetta, Keldeo and Victini are also very adorable.

The soundtrack of Gen V was amazinggggg; which ones were your favourite?

I absolutely love the Colress battle theme here; it's so techno-y!

Oh yeah, I give absolute love to Mel, Kel, and Victini. <33 I remember how cool it was getting Keldeo's form in that event; remember that?

I did love that theme. It fitted in well with his design and team.

I loved every fight in BW2. From the 4th Gym, the game took a very interesting path.

Colress was awesome, until i sent out my Arcanine!

Gen 5 is my fav gen, my first nuzlocke of black 2 got me to love my my favorite pokemon, Azumarill, gen v gave us Hydreigon, anothet good pokemon, and one of my favs.

Music was amazing, my personal fav is BW2's Frozen City for some reason.

Story, especially in the orginals, was a cut above regular pokemon stories.

I adore wayyy too many tracks that I can't even remember them all, haha. But to name a few, I really love BW's ending theme, the PWT Finals theme, Skyarrow Bridge, Route 6, Humilau City; the list goes on! Like aaaaaa omg I could go on forever naming them and talking about why I love them so much, eheheh!

Oooh, I remember that one! It may have been on the eerie side, but it was definitely a good track! Whether happy, touching, or scary, they did an excellent job putting tons emotion into the music, regardless of the situation. :D

Do you guys still play the games every now and then? o:

Honestly, sometimes I do love going back to playing Pokemon White for the nostalgic feel of it. :3

I'm too caught up in my 6th Gen games. Maybe when I do get bored I may go back to my Black every now and then.

Yeah, kind of a shame no one really... plays these games anymore since they're all able to transfer their pokemon to the 6th Gen games, y'know?

Maybe they'll make more 5th gen cameos like N in the later games, I hope. </3

It's true. I am proud of the collection I have on Black, having nearly every non-legendary in the National Dex there, and it was thanks to me doing all those transfers. But yes, when a new generation comes out the previous one is just forgotten.

It took me a few months to get that collection. Thank god I caught a lot of dupes of species in my previous games, and I did a couple of resets on my original Sapphire (which I never played as much as Ruby back then) to get the other Hoenn starters. Ditto my Pearl to get the Sinnoh starters, and a bit of resetting and trading between HG/SS to get my Johto starters. I did manage to get the other two Unova starters from trading with my brother's never-used White.

While I did tend to move on very quickly from the 5th Gen due to the migration capabilities; I did enjoy the games a LOT. <3

But I will admit that B/W/B2/W2 were not games that stand out to me, but they were good quality games none the less.

I do agree with this little part. The story was more intense and darker than most Pokemon games, but there was also a good amount of stuff to do postgame so there was very little that would make you bored, especially in B2/W2. There's just so much that can keep you playing for a while, even if you breezed through the story.

Yeah the postgame really is what sold it for me. But to be honest I'm not what you'd call a completionist; so normally my end of game is beating the champion. Gen 5 definitely extended that a bit with it's story though...

I tend to stick around in the postgame, and 5th Gen did do a good job having more postgame compared to most generations where they mainly fell flat at keeping players motivated after beating the Champion.

I bought White when it came out but life stuff happened, I played a lot of other games for a while and lost interest in Pokemon, and I'm just now finally getting to do a full playthrough! It's interesting to see your comments about postgame since I usually tend to get bored after "finishing" the game (beating all the trainers, etc.) Right now I have it in mind to complete the Pokedex as best I can but I wonder how feasible that is without any of the online functions now. I've only got the first three badges so far, so I have a ways to go (and a full weekend ahead to play, muahaha.)

Same for me.

I don't do much after the game, except with the fifth generation (even if I haven't finished all of the post game T_T )
I miiiiight be back?
And why am I not a supporter anymore >.<

I had a few thoughts bouncing around in my head about what a third version to Black and White would have been like.

Opelucid City would be the historic town from White undergoing reconstruction into the futuristic town from Black. Some support the move, others oppose it.

And something that I'd thought of way earlier. When you pass someone with a copy of Black or White, the C-Gear displays which version they're playing.

What would the C-Gear in Black or White have done if it were to pass someone playing Gray Version?
