Make no mistake, Pokemon Black 2/White 2 are great. To me, as a Pokemon loyalist who has stuck with the series since the beginning, they come off simultaneously as exhilarating, and as a bit of a disappointment. To those with even the slightest bit of know how about game development, they come as the final attempts to squeeze some more massive revenue from the DS Pokemon engine (for a whopping fifth time this generation), before the inevitable move to the infinitely more expensive to develop for 3DS. To the more distant, more dispassionate observer, they come off as relentless milking of a formula that is now, perhaps, finally, beginning to show its age. To the Pokemon maniac, they come as a bit of a slap in the face, coming off barely a year after the incredible Pokemon Black/White, and flying in the face of everything that game stood for. It’s really hard to justify Pokemon Black 2 and White 2’s existence.
