I don’t think the story in this one is as good as the orginals, but everything else in this game is just as good if not better than them. Having direct sequels instead of just an enhanced version of BW1 was such a cool idea as you get to see all the things that have changed in the region in the years since the first game and it was executed extremely well too. Easily the peak of the series along with BW1
I had never expected to see a direct sequel to a Pokemon game in the same generation. Even though the player (Trainer) is different, the story is able to continue in a believable way. Are the legendary fusions over the top? Yes. Do I mind? Not at all; it's the equivalent of having a back-up rocket launcher on your team and I'm all here for it.
