Is this worth picking up?

Only if you didn't play base Sun and Moon. It also depends on how much you care about story. The story in this one is complete nonsense but the gameplay is better in every way.

God no, a 1000 Lillies no! Too boring, world isn't fun to explore, it's all green or yellow corridors. Pokemon distribution is mostly KANTOOOOOOOOO, way to much focus on legendaries/UB
Also ya, the cutscene over load is as bad as they say

>Playing pokemon

if you're ok with the constantly being interrupted to recite a story made for children, or be given another tutorial you should maybe consider suicide.

BW2 were sequels that feel like their own games, unlike the 3rd installments or ultra games

So BW?

This

>thing reserved for storyless past-credits is "way to much focus"
What?

it's not half as bad, and bw2 is much better

It depends.
I think it's the best 3ds pokemon game, but that is not saying much.
I'd say pirate or emulate it first.

No, BW is just as bad. BW2 is not BW so who the fuck gives a shit. And it has a shit maingame too.

i honestly haven't played bw since the sequels have come out but it can't be that bad. i tried playing moon this past week and i wanted to claw my eyes out it's so boring.

This

As i said: ADHD. BW literally holds your hand to get in the first route. And the first thing you do after getting into a new city is reading nonsensical babble from a not-evil team leader. Nobody has a decent team until badge 8.

At least SM mixes it up with fighting totems and legendaries a few times.

Maybe OP wants to be warned he's gonna be stopped every 5 minutes by retarded characters spouting basically the same dimensional garbage plot from Diamond and Pearl in the most obnoxious way.

Yeah, BW.

I use a metric to gauge Pokemon games, time to starter. SuMo hovered around 25 minutes. So when UlSuUlMo knocked that number down to 3 minutes I thought the game was fixed. However they just moved that 20 minute of cutscenes to after you got the starter and actually added more. Real dick move. So, hot take, this game is even worse than SuMo. Ruins Lusamine too.

But worse.

I have but pokemon roms always seem a bit iffy

Theres any good porn

Yeah. But i don't pretend the problem isn't there unlike BW1 fans.

>"Oh no! We have to find Lillie!"
>They mark her location on your map
Sun and Moon were fucking terrible about handholding. The world also felt unbelievably artificial. Every trainer has one or two Pokemon and there's no overlap. They felt like a dex filling mechanic rather than people that could actually exist in that world. Pokemon were the same way. Almost all of them exist in one patch of grass somewhere in the world and you can't find them anywhere else. And if you suffered through SuMo, don't bother with USUM. It's an exact copypaste for 80% of the game. Like EXACT. It's not even a v2. It's the exact same game up until the very end.

So no difference from the other games?

This look at past games. Just 3 mons on a Victory Road trainer yeah but the team itself was well fucking worthy.
