Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 announced for DS!

"Oh, I didn't need to play this game. I've already played Pokemon."

This has never been my point either. I play and intercourse ing love the hell of of every new pokemon generation. because they bring something new to the table. something other than plot.

and yes every point i've made applies to the extra games every generation. that was the entire point of the argument. b/w2 are the extra third game this generation.

The term "agree to disagree" comes to mind.

[Neerb]

No, it's still your opinion. I don't think IV had any more plot than III. If anything, they were about even.

That may be my opinion too. Big whoop. But seriously, how do you think it had more plot?

Well, the villains in IV appear more often, their plan is both more complex and deeper in purpose, the professor is far more active in the plot, the rival is more heavily involved in the story rather than just showing up to see how you're doing, Platinum features the recurring character of Looker while Emerald's story lacks any unique (non-villain/league/rival/professor) really recurring characters, Barry goes through real character development while Wally just stops being sickly and learns to fight, etc.

All III has that IV doesn't plot-wise is meeting your father and having two teams instead of one, but that doesn't make the story any deeper than what IV has too offer.

I disagree, I think the villians in III appear often enough, making appearances in Rustboro City, Rusturf Tunnel, Slateport City, Mt. Chimney, Meteor Falls, Weather Institute, Route 121, Lilycove City, Hideout, Mt. Pyre, and Seafloor Cavern. They were all over the place. Also, I didn't find Barry's character development to be any more "real" than Wally's.

Maybe they're evenly matched. Also, I'd like to point out that the plot in R/S wasn't identical in both games. I mean, they weren't way different, but D/P were LITERALLY identical, like I said, except for the name of the Pokemon you battle at Spear Pillar.

you're not supposed to play both games this is irrelevant

[Kayo]

No, but there should at least be a greater difference between the two, I think.

Serebii has TONS of HUGE spoilers, including:

Who that new professor-looking guy is:
[spoiler]Achroma, who apparently has something to to with Plasma as you must fight him late in the game.[/spoiler]

The Champion:
[spoiler]Iris, White Version's old Dragon leader and the girl from the current anime[/spoiler]

The World Tournament:
[spoiler]It's where the Freezer Containers used to be, it's possibly part of the story, has the move relearner/deleter, grants Battle Points like the Subway[/spoiler]

Returning Plasma characters:
[spoiler]Ghetsis and the Shadow Triad can be fought, N may give you his Zorua and Siglyph[/spoiler]

Your Rival's default name:
[spoiler]Hugh[/spoiler]

and more!

Also... after you beat the game, you can replay it on Normal, Assist (easy), or Challenge (hard). DIFFICULTY SETTINGS, GUYS.

[Kayo]

Difficulty settings? In MY Pokemon? Well, completing it on Hard mode will certainly be fun.

Also, definitely changing my rival's name.

EDIT: Serebii says Move Tutors exist in B2W2, as I figured. Whoo!

[DededeCloneChris]

This is a first for a Pokemon game to have difficulty settings. I think that seals the deal of my already sealed deal to buy the game.

Congratulations, your seal has evolved into a dealgong.
