Xenoblade Chronicles 2
I’m now around ~30 hours in and it’s gotten much better since I initially shelved it. The characters are starting to grow on me and being able to get unique blades makes things so much better.
Also, Zeke was my goat till he was racist to the anti-war protesters lol.

Pokémon Black Version 2
Definitely still remains as the best all around Pokemon game in my opinion. A very good main story followed by probably the best postgame in the series.
THE REST OF THIS REVIEW IS MORE ABOUT POKÉMON AS A WHOLE
However, when not being compared to the rest of the series I still think it’s pretty good but not incredible. While it doesn’t innovate at all when it comes to the gameplay, I’m not going to dock it much since it was still on the DS and it was more of them optimizing the style they’d had since the beginning of the series.
I think people need to stop the whole “well _____ is good for a Pokemon game” line of thought because this is a series that hasn’t even been able to scratch the surface of what it could be. Their stubbornness to tell the same kind of story over and over to maintain its kid friendly tone has seriously hampered its legitimacy in the industry in my opinion.
There’s a reason why fans of Pokemon often criticize these games differently from how they criticize other big franchises. It’s not even a matter of “make Pokemon edgy”, I just wish they’d be able to tell a real character driven story.
