'Pokemon Black 2' and 'White 2' coming to North America October 7th

[BobYoMeowMeow]

I heard that white 2 is crappy compared to black 2.

Something about route 4 and assist mode.

Black 2 gets challenge mode.

assist mode is basically the pokemons on your second playthrough will be lowered leveled (doesnt make sense at all)

challenge mode is the pokemons on your second playthrough will be higher leveled

I'm getting black anywho~

Assist mode makes no sense. I was going to get black 2 originally so I'll be looking forward to challenge mode.

Route 4 looks awesome in White 2.

Lack of a challenge mode in White 2 is BS though. But I'm wondering if you have a friend with Black 2 couldn't you just have them unlock hard mode for you?

Also Reuniclus is still White exclusive, and Black gets Lopunny and Gothitelle... So basically White is still the better version (cooler areas, still the same exclusives as B/W with some old Pokemon) except it has an unlockable Easy mode instead of an unlockable hard mode.

They are cooler. :U

Desert Ruin Looking Town with a Sandstorm > Standard town.
Lava cave areas with glowing lava > boringish water cave areas.
Old rustic city > unfinished looking city with blue lines all over the place.

Based entirely on the Serebii screenshots, mind you.

I personally like my areas looking more urban like was one of the reason I bought Black that and I liked Reshiram better.

A lot of white does look prettier, however, just for an example. I am playing Black 2 and I was in route 4 for about 5 mins.. ran right through after checking the buildings.

I'll admit I am a little disappointed I won't get to go in the lava cave though D: but Black City and Zekrom more than make up for that.

Hate deserts, hate lava based anything (unless its the water dungeons in LoZ)
