Slow Start, and lame finish
One thing that really "grinded my gears" were the pointless questions which requires a yes to continue. I literally sit there for hours just saying "No" until something happens because why put the option to answer in the game if it affects absolutely nothing... And that's what this game is, just a bunch of menial tasks that accomplish absolutely nothing.
Of course, if you finally beat the main story that's when the game FINALLY becomes interesting, but in the mean time YOU CANNOT BREED POKEMONS, and that just turns me off right away about this game. Even when you unlock the breeder at LITERALLY THE END OF THE GAME WHEN EVERYTHING IS DONE there isn't a good place to hatch eggs. Everything is so clustered in this game regarding NPCs, and there are also NPCs who you battle and then when you leave the area and come back they can STOP you in your tracks to initiate ANOTHER battle. This IS a good way to grind experience points but at the same time if you're really trying to get to a healing spot and you cross paths with them it's over.
There are MANY things to dislike about this game, but once you finally beat it, it becomes worth owning, just for the simple fact that you can transfer pokemons to future gens and also receive from Gen 4 (HGSS + DPP).
My RATING for this game? *sigh* I'd rate it a 2/5 for the beginning and 3/5 for after you beat the game... But gets an extra point because of PWT (Pokemon World Tour).
More great content for this game is just a click away, we've got a Pokemon Black 2 walkthrough, more tips and cheats and loads of answers.
