So I did indeed pick up Pokémon White Version 2. 'twas the last new copy at the store I went to; wasn't even on the shelves; cashier had to go searching through a couple back drawers to find it when the computer said it was indeed in stock. :B
So far, seems like a typical Pokémon game but really decked out as far as the presentation. The storyline though is just... wholly geeze, when did everyone in the Pokémon universe start taking happy pills every day?! Let me contrast the start of the game with each of the main series games I've played:
Pokémon Red/Blue: OMGDON'TWALKINTHEGRASS but I need you to run an errand for me... so here's a Pokémon to keep you safe. You'll get a Pokédex later once you've proved your skill.
Pokémon Gold/Silver: Please run an errand for me. Here's a Pokémon to keep you safe. You'll get your Pokédex later once you've proved your skill.
Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire: OMGPROF'SINTROUBLESAVEHIMWITHPOKEMON! Hey, you fight well, keep it and come back for a Pokédex when you can.
Pokémon White2/Black2: Want a Pokémon, a Pokédex, and all this cool stuff? Here you go! Now go grind away all your Lv 100 Dragonites. :P
*shakes head* ...I was so tempted to just say "no" when the game asked right off the bat if I wanted a Pokémon. XD
