      Either they give hefty marks for ingenuity (which BW2 will have less of given how it’s a sequel and uses many of the same resources as BW1), or it’s just a somewhat inferior game.

      1. Nnah, I doubt it’s ingenuity. The region’s very different, several new Gyms, Town, Routes, Pokemon. If aything, I think it’s probably just the game in general.

        1. REPLY TO ASF

          Because they made a Pokemon game based on the last/previous game which is fucking similar but the story is enhanced. (maybe)

    1. 8.5 or 9….they just gave conquest a 9. What game did ign review that pissed you off because from my experience ign gives good scores to good games.

        1. I agree with you on the CoD and if you’re saying sonic gets too low scores then i agree there too. If you’re saying sonic gets overrated though, that’s completely false *looks at past 10 years of ratings* Too bad sonic is actually creative…

          1. except sonic games arent always AS bad as they make them out to be, unless that game’s name is sonic 06, then it’s all true

      1. I agree, ign has rarely given a review that I completely disagree with. While games like Call of Duty don’t innovate very much, they are still really fun and that’s why we play games.

      2. They actually gave black and white a lower score for having “ugly pokemon”. It still got a good score but really ign, is that really a reason to lower a score.

      IGN scores in their own way and that is what it is: their opinion. Everyone has the right to buy a game and enjoy it without caring what IGN or anyone else rates it. You be the judge. (Yes I understand the whole argument about reviews making up minds)

    1. Learn to respect others opinion. Did you play the game to know that they are wrong? Plus since when 8 and 9 are bad scores?

      1. True, very few games have been given a 40/40 brom Famitsu. Even A Link to the Past didn’t get a perfect score.

        1. No, I have gone with the psp. I’m not playing games on it anymore, and I’m pretty much using as a photo viewer/mp3 player. I want to get a handheld that plays good games. Which is better?

          1. I’d just go for 3DS. It can play past and present gen games, unless you want something that can play GBA REALLY badly… then you’d go for DS Lite.

            1. Anonymousssssssssssssssssssss

              if only the camera was better… i like how the pics are 3D but i’ve seen better cameras. but that’s not nearly as important as the awesome games for it

  2. Not to be ignorant or anything but I forget, if I import this can I play it on my American 3DS or do I have to buy a used DS to? I really don’t want to wait to play this lol even though I just picked up conquest I’ll probably beat it by the time this ships here!

    1. it won’t work on an american 3DS cuss its region locked so you can either get a used ds or a japanese 3DS

          1. Thanks for the info guys guess I’ll just have to find the funds. Hmm too bad I can’t walk out into tall grass and beat a wimpy youngster for some quick loot lol ;D

  3. Okay, this question is off topic to which Nintendo Princessdo you guys prefer getting married to; Zelda or Peach?
    Samus doesnt count cuz she is a princess LOL :p

    1. Zelda. At least she is helpful and can put up a bit of a fight (that can be taken the wrong way but whatever). Peach is just a useless airhead.

  4. How is this game innovating? Oh they digused this dlc into 2 cartridge this time allowing them to charge double than what greedy capcom would to ninty diaper retards…well play sametendo

    1. I’m gonna laugh when you get attacked by a pack of angry English teachers. Also, if you want to find a company that releases the same garbage over and over again, look at Activision with Call of Duty.

  5. How is this any diffrent than cod please explain, pokemon over does spinnoff and milk their same franchise smh atleast cod doent make 2 cd games or game everytime they make a map pack unlike ninty who makes 2games and charge 35-40 for expansion pack smh

  6. Ninty fags are destroying gaming as it is. These faggots will pay for a half ass game that is reusing old sprites and charged at premium price as if adding a story to recycled game sprites is hard. Thats why we geg no new ips just overmilked game ips

    1. Francisco Alvarado Vega

      That is why it is called a franchise sir. The games are supposed to be sequels with changes and enhancements with every new installment. Pokemon does not milk because that would imply copying and rehashing which Gamefreak does not do. Look at Red/Blue compared to Black/White 2 and tell me if they are rehashes or copies. Same formula yes but with improvements.

  7. Reviews are just numbers. I’m buying the game even if it got a 1/40. No pokemon game has disappointed me.

  9. Shadow the Ultimate Weapon

    You can tell capcom are noobs smh take notes from Sametendo this is how you overprice DLC

    1. Are you kidding me? Ninentdo is by far the most innovative game company out there!
      Nintendo makes handheld that uses touchscreen, so does Sony.
      Nintendo uses motion controls, Sony and Microsoft soon follow.
      Nintendo makes Wii U with tablet controller, Microsoft comes out with Xbox Smart Glass a year later.
      I don’t know about you, but I see a patern here.

  10. Shadow the Ultimate Weapon

    @slax your right but after they found the term of wikipedia there boldly using it on fire emblam…quick learners.. Guess they innovated the term DLC lmfao

  11. why not announce on Darksiders 2 coming to the Wii (atleast that’s what the guy in the G4 interview said) Not WiiU, but Wii.

  12. The Only Pokemon Champ

    My only wish would be that Nintendo would’ve atleast updated the graphics so it could fit the entire screen of the 3ds
    I absolutely despise playing Ds games on my 3ds
