Well, Black and White 2 are out in Japan! Discuss your thoughts on the finished game, including likes, dislikes and other thoughts.

Mod Edit: Turning this into a review thread. Make sure to not make statements like "I liked [X], but didn't like [Y]" - please elaborate on your reasons behind those particular opinions and stuff like that - Gym Leader Janine (Joshawott).

So far I'm liking:

• the new battle menu: it just looks pretty cool
• the little screen that appears when you enter a city: awesome. it's much better than those drop-down ones from Gen IV imo
• the new battle area with the grass. Battles look less empty now.
• The textures look much clearer aswell. Like the grass on the first route is much cleaner and tidier imo.
• the music. Aspertia's is a little meh, but so far the rest is great.

I'm only on the first route, so I'll post back with more thoughts once I've seen more of the game.

Not really much I don't like so far. But I've only been playing for 30 minutes XD

Yesssss I just got my copy from UPS. Unfortunately I also just deleted my map accidentally so I'll restart again. The graphics are BEAUTIFUL!!!

1.6 MILLION copies so far... (2 days to be exact, I think)

Thanks to Dogasu for the translation:

It sold 1,618,621 copies over the two day weekend, making it the third best selling DS game of all time (it doesn't say what the other two were) and the first video game in 2012 to sell over a million copies.

I'm loving the new map, the better graphics, the increase in avaliable Pokémon, the story and the new characters. I can't wait until the EU release. This is by far the most amazing Pokémon game Nintendo has released so far.

I know it has been a few more days since that sales record, but is that 1.6 million counting both B2 and W2? Just curious. I'm waiting for the US release, but I can already tell from some videos and such that BW2 is probably going to be the best Pokemon game so far.

They always count the pair as one game given that the version differences aren't that big to really count them as separate games.
