  • Are you surprised by the amount of Non Unova pokemon are in BW2? Personally I was very surprised. Not disappointed one more like "oh wow, really?"

    Personally it didn't make to much sense that there weren't any in the first games. I knew What they were trying to do but it was kinda stupid. I would have to say gen 2 is my favorite and HG SS are my favorite ( of course I prefer gen 5 me mechanics and deeper story, but content wise I love HG SS ) and that was because while it gave us a new adventure , new characters and new pokemon it also brought us back to Kanto which showed us even tho the pokemon world is big it is still connected.

    I think pokemon works best when it's all connected.

    So I loved the fact that they added a ton of older pokemon. And I loved the pokemon they made available early on. I had my full team of Oshawatt growlith , rilou and elikid all before my second badge.

  • I wasn't surprised when the older Pokemon were put in the Unova Dex, but I was pleased when that happened because there are some people who'd rather play the game with mixed-region Pokemon.

    But I was disappointed when the Pikachu line wasn't put in; it's the mascot of the franchise, and that was surprising.

  • They usually do that when it's the second game in the generation, it's better than sticking to the same Pokedex limiting your options. I personally love the fact that they introduced 300 this time, such a variety of choices.

  • I was not suprised but i was defenitly glad that they added them. It was a great additon and supports the idea of you catching ALL the pokemon.

    Really happy at the decision to include the old gen of pokemon.
    I honestly do not like the 5th gen.... all the pokemon look... not like pokemon.. Or is that just me ? The 5th gen pokemon look REALLY out of place with the old gen. Bleh.

    Pokemon designs were really lame.

  • I liked the fact that they put older region Pokemon in the games. I mean in black and white 1 almost everyone in team plasma had the same Pokemon. Watchog, patrat, sandile and other common stuff. in bw2 they have a better variety of Pokèmon's that you battle against team plasma.

  • I wasn't surprised that they made older-gen Pokemon available in B2W2; since Black and White were basically introductions to Unova, a brand new Pokemon world, it seemed reasonable that we could only use entirely new Pokemon for the main story. However with B2W2, I think people would've been a bit tired of that, and so the 'Pokemon migrating' excuse works perfectly well.

    I was surprised at the sheer amount of previous-gen Pokemon that were made available in B2W2- I still can't get past the fact that there's 300 Pokemon in the Regional Dex alone. And I pretty much love ALL the Pokemon that were included, it's like GameFreak just knew what Pokemon I'd want and said 'Yeah, let's put them in the first few routes!'. So I was very pleasantly surprised about that. :)
