Nintendo Life Review – Pokémon Black and White 2
Pokémon used Sequel! It’s super effective!
It’s fitting that the franchise typically relied upon to sell Nintendo handhelds is also the swansong that bids farewell to the mighty Nintendo DS. The enormously popularPokémon series graces the highest-selling handheld console of all time for one last hurrah and the result is nothing short of excellence.
Pokémon Black and White 2 are the first direct sequels in the monster catching series. Traditionally after the primary paired versions have been out a while, an enhanced third version is released that adds some useful things but does little to chart new ground. This time around, however, the new additions are paired with a story that has you seeing and dealing with the repercussions of the storyline that unfolded in the original Black and White versions.
