There was a one hour time limit?

Eeyup.

Yeah, Gen 5 didn't really make you grind your levels up like Diamond and Pearl did. Just fighting trainers between towns, Plasma, and gym stuff was enough to keep you on par.

Huh, i never actually noticed that.

The thing is though, White 2 isn't hard, it's just monotonous. You aren't beaten by a Gym Leader because of their skill, it's just all a numbers game crossed with rock paper scissors. As such, I'd rather have steady progression, than have to take several hours out of the story at every new town to grind up my Pokémon so I can best the rock paper scissors match.

I was rewatching older Pokemon episodes, you know how Mewtwo is unbeatable in the anime. I pictured someone challenging Giovanni and by just dumb luck sends out a dark type that can counter it.

"You cannot defeat the strongest Pokempn ever!"

"Darkrai get him."

FUUUUUU

>Gen 1
>Darkrai
I think you can see the problem here.

Just send out a pokemon with a bug type move or two.

>Still Gen 1
>Bug Type move
Yeah. I'm sure Mewtwo will be completely devastated by that Twinneedle attack. Who knows, perhaps Leech Life will score a critical hit.

So after bitching about White 2 on here, I took my DS with me to work and played some more on the game. I defeated the chick with the plane, who flew me to some sandy place, where I caught a scorpion and some kind of camel cow thing that is also a volcano. I'm now currently wandering around a volcano, looking for a magic stone so I can catch a legendary Pokémon. Looks like I put this game down, just before it started getting good.
