Thread: If BW and B2W2 had been ONE game instead of separate games...

I wanted to ask this question for quite some time.

If BW and B2W2 had been one game, would it had been better?

BW had a good story arc, but poor post-game content.
B2W2 had average story content, but a lot of things to do post-game.

What if the two were combined into one whole game? We'd have two story arcs along with the post-game

Main game part 1: Team Plasma story - N's arc.
Main game part 2: Team Plasma story - Ghetsis' arc
Post-game: arresting seven sages, PWT, Pokewood, etc etc...

So it'll be a delux game with two large chapters. What do you think?

No, it wouldn't have been better. Putting a good plot and a bad plot together doesn't improve either of them.

I'm happy that Gamefreak experimented with numbered sequels, but ironically, 5th generation was the one I wanted to see a third version for. Even if they called it Gre/ay, they'd have lots to work off, first and foremost being the Original Dragon. Something to combine Black City and White Forest, showcasing that they can co-exist peacefully and simultaeneously, fitting in with the whole "grey" area thing. And they could try and merge truth and ideals as well.

If they put both stories into one game, they wouldn't be sucking as much money out of us.

Then it would plummet significantly in terms of story quality. No, thanks.

Probably not, a lot of the problems with 5th gen stem from the way Unova was designed at its core: lack of alternate routes through the region, bad Pokemon distribution, and bad level pacing. Putting the games together wouldn't really solve many of these problems, they would've pretty much needed to rethink how Unova was structured from the ground up.

i know right
they really did not think these things out u know

i think that they should have made it one because who watches the prequel

if they had combined the games it would make the game more interesting because ur getung two legendarys

i also think that if they made a sequel with it being the main characters son then it would be good

Guys, remember that this thread is about whether Black/White and their sequels would have been better as a single game, not about any other changes you would have liked to see to the games.

the game would be much better combined because u would not have to buy 4 games

well collecting all the games is half the fun

i still would think they be better if they were combined in to one singlr game

I really think that it would have been a really convoluted mess of a game if it was combined. The two separate plots needed two different games. I also think that they needed the chronological spacing (2 years, wasn't it?), and that would have been really weird to have crammed into one game. B/W and B/W2 are fantastic as is, I honestly wouldn't have preferred or suggested any changes.
