@dinckelman @CosmicSploogeDrizzle Black/White were the best games that the series had. I still don't understand all the hate for these games to this day. The world was great, the postgame was good, and the Pokémon weren't designed as poorly as everyone says.
What excactly was so great about the postgame? The right side of unova didn't had that much to offer. Kyurem, Cynthia, the dive maze, the roaming genie and Looker are the only noteworthy things that come to mind.
@Squiddy I liked that you could catch only gen 5 pokemon before the postgame, which is why you can later build a completely new team and warm up with the new pokemon. to the were the other cities made interesting. A small highlight was the white forest
Not gonna lie, only having new pokemon for the story was a welcome change. It's a reason why Ruby and Saphire are so memorable to me, you only encountered new pokemon for the first few hours. I agree that the White Forest (and Black City) are beautiful places, tho I have to say that I prefer the BW2 versions because of the "rogue-like" facility.
