Pokemon Black 2 and White 2, and a brief history of my experience in Pokemon games

I've been a fan of Pokemon since the anime came out. But I've never played a Pokemon game from start to finish until I was 13-14. My first game was a Gen III Pokemon game called Pokemon Leaf Green, which is a remake of Pokemon Red and Blue of the first generation. 

It was fun, but I was lacking in skills as a trainer. Everyone except Blastoise and Mr. Mime was severely underleveled, and Mr. Mime is overleveled. 

Then I played Pokemon Emerald, it remains till today as one of my most frequently played Pokemon game as I played it with all three starters at least once, get all the silver symbols in battle frontier at least once, and also beat it in a Nuzlocke challenge at least once. 

I also played Fire Red, and I beat Gary with a team that is 10 levels lower than him.

Then I played Platinum (yeah, I skipped Diamond and Pearl), and it was awesome (even though I never replay it till now). One of the most awesome moments I ever had in a video game came from Platinum. My friend was having a hard time catching Giratina, so he asked for my help. I recalled a walkthrough by Youtuber Marriland (an awesome guy who just finished his Pokemon White 2 Walkthrough) and initially had a strategy of using his Staraptor (due to his immunity to Ghost attacks), but for some reason I decided to lead with his Vaporeon at the last minute. 

Turn 1, Giratina used Dragon Claw. Okay, decent damage, but Vaporeon could take a hit. I decided to weaken it with Ice Beam, and it got frozen. 

Turn 2, throw a Dusk Ball, it broke free, still frozen.

Turn 3, weaken it with Aurora Beam, still frozen.

Turn 4-9, throw Dusk Ball, it broke free, still frozen (yeah, notice how long it got frozen?)

Turn 10, caught it with a Dusk Ball.

When we were catching Giratina, me and my friend were both surprised on how lucky it was to catch it so easily. 

Then Generation V came. It was da bomb. Serperior was awesome, Excadrill was awesome too, Haxorus is badass as well. Yeah, I like some of the Pokemon design for the Gen V Pokemon. Deal with it, Poke-Nostalgiafags. It had a plot twist towards the end, which was pretty sweet, For the first time in Pokemon history, you do not defeat the champion to beat the main campaign. 

Then we have 3 epic battles in a row. The first with the legendary on the cover. 

The second with N, leader of Team Plasma (the bad guys), who has a LEGENDARY Pokemon and an EVENT ONLY Pokemon. 

The final battle, with N's adoptive father, Ghetsis, oh that asshole of a father. Calling N a freak and his true intentions of (you guessed it) take over the world. He must have took some advice on raising dragon Pokemon from Lance as his Hydreigon is underleveled by 10 LEVELS. It's an intense battle, but defeating him is satisfying as hell.

Oh, and I played Soul Silver and beat both Lance and Red at their best with a team 3 Pokemon with their level at their early 60's and 3 HM Slaves. 

Then N bids farewell, and cue the credits. This game has the BEST credit song in all Pokemon games so far. It's awesome sounding as hell. The credits is sleek, without animations or any pictures, just scrolling credits with an epic music, and I'm fine with that. I think there will never be a credit song as great as this one. Black and White is fun to play, with all new Pokemon to use.

Now, old Pokemon and new Pokemon meet in Black 2 and White 2 with the ability to catch previous gen's Pokemon. Also, this is the first time where a Pokemon title is a numbered sequel and not a remake. I can't wait to play challenge mode when I beat the game. Yes, you can adjust the difficulty setting in this game with some 'keys' that are can be traded via infrared. 

Now that I'm a more experienced trainer, I always plan my team before I even play the game. Since I never used Oshawott before, so I use it in my playthrough of Black 2. 

I got a male Oshawott, so I named it Kenshi (yeah, I like naming my Pokemon). I named it after the main character of Ruroni Kenshin.

The second Pokemon I got is a male Mareep I called Rossi (I also got a male Ampharos called Rossi in my Soul Silver playthrough). I caught it at Floccesy Ranch. I named it Rossi after the last syllable in Ampharos' name since it's a guy.

Then I got a male Growlithe in Virbank Complex. I named it Missile, after the Pomeranian in Ghost Trick (which is a great DS game by the way).

I got my fourth Pokemon at the Castelia Sewers. It's a female Zubat called Tabitha (I also got a female Crobat named Tabitha in my Soul Silver Playthrough). 'Bat' spelled backwards is 'Tab', and 'Bit' is a past tense of 'Bite', which is why I think the name suits the Zubat.

I got my fifth Pokemon at the Castelia Gardens (I think that's what it is called), it's an Eevee who is now an Espeon called Psynx. A psychic Pokemon that looks like a Lynx, so Psynx.

I do not have a sixth Pokemon yet, but I know what I will get - N's Zoroa. Yup, I'm doing this for N (lol).

Anyway, that's the end of this long post.
