    Any one else play less of B2/W2 than B/W?

    I didn't want to transfer all of my pokemon in Black in to White 2. Anyone else feel the same?
     
    Judging the two games, since the plot in BW2 is more updated than in BW1, then I think it makes sense to have my Pokemon in BW2 while there's a lot more stuff to explore after the game. More areas to explore, more places to train Pokemon, it's like Unova had an upgrade, really. xD
     
    B2W2 is the better game, as usual with premium versions. Better story in BW isn't enough to make me choose it over B2W2.

    Basically what he said.

    While I enjoyed B/W's story, B2/W2 had more stuff to do and greater Pokemon selection. I hardly ever touched my original Black after I started playing Black 2.
     
    I definitely played more of the originals, haha. I just was overall disappointed by the sequels here. I don't necessarily think it was because the storyline was bad, but just because I had grown old of Unova. This resulted in me never completing my White 2 game while I had well over 100 hours on my original White version.

    This was the same thing for me. I played BW1 for hours! But when I got BW2... I guess the 100+ hours I played on the original BW1 made me bored of BW2 and Unova. I like how they added more content in BW2 yes, but it felt like I was playing more or less the same thing. the same reason why I never bought platinum, crystal or any of those kind of 'enhanced' versions.

    I get where you're coming from, buuut... You can't battle Wallace and Red in vanilla Black & White, so I mean, you know, let's consider this!
     
    I loved BW2 to bits, it's probably at this point one of my favourite games from the pokemon franchise as a whole, naturally by this logic I played more of them than the originals.
     
    I had thoroughly went through B/W, completing the whole Pokédex and having a TON of boxes. I also had a team of Lvl. 100s. I only beat B2 like... 4 months ago even though I had it for a year... now, since I have more things on my White I'd prefer to stay with that stuff.
     
    Put it this way, I started a new file in my White last year and haven't gotten any further than Castelia City. I bought White 2 earlier this year and finished it within the span of a week or two. My White 2 would definitely be my main game where I keep everything. That said, once I finished it and did some post-game stuff, I haven't really played it since. So whatever I have in my [incomplete] White that I would want to trade over, it's still in my White. Now I can't be bothered with it anymore, since I'd just rather move it all to my Y once the PokéBank and Transporter become available.
     
    It'd make sense to have more play time on B2/W2 than Black/White, since there's way more stuff to do in Black2/White2.

    The crazy thing is, I have 600 hours on my White (which I think is the most out of any Pokémon game I've played), and 346 hours on my Black2. And I don't get why. WTF was I doing the whole time? Did I really spend THAT much time EV training and trying to beat the Battle Subway on White?
     
    BW2 because I finished it first. I just can't play BW1 for the f**** sake, its the same game & less fun ( dot ) .
     
    I don't think so.. Its the same for me although in breeding-wise, I like BW much better because I can RNG with ease on breeding. BW2 was a mess whenever I try to RNG breeding on it...
     
    I actually didn't like Black/White at all (except N, he was cool). I did LOVE Black2/White2 because they were better built from the foundation up. Vanilla BW were not terrible games, but they felt empty to me. B2W2 embraced the Pokemon Series as a whole, and brought together everyone from old school gamers to the newest players of the game. I only play vanilla BW just to say that I at least experienced it, while on the other end of the spectrum, I have Black 2 with 600+ hours of gameplay, while my white 2 has 400+. That's over 1,000 hours of playtime. I have spent more than 41 full days on Pokemon Black2 and White 2 alone!
