Sorry for stealing the topic for a short moment, but I'd like to ask something about this post here:

[QUOTE="ANIMEguy10034"]

It's a 30 hour long story extension for $35.

So do I need to have played BW1? I actually haven't played BW and when I wanted to, BW2 was around the corner and I directly got BW2. Haven't started yet but after seeing your post: Do you suggest playing BW1 first? Or is there a short summary of 1 somewhere?

You don't need to, but there are a lot of references from BW1. They slowly tell you about the events of BW1, but I'm not sure how detailed it is without the Memory Link feature (unlocks flashbacks once you link your BW1 file with BW2).

If you don't have the money for BW1, I recommend reading a plot summary online. [url=http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Black_and_White_Versions#Plot]This[/url] is probably one of the best summaries out there.

Money isn't the problem, it's more time. In the beginning I played through every Pokemon, but since about 5 years I skiped every second game due to lack of time. So let's say money is not an issue: Would you recomment playing 1 and after that 2? Would they need to be the same edition? Or can I get White1 if I have black2? Oh and how well do the pokedex book fit together? Would it be enough to get 2 or do I need to combine 1 and 2? Already got the ordinary Strategy Guide for BW2 (I love strategy guides :D)

I would recommend playing BW1 before BW2.

You don't need the same color edition; the story makes a tiny bit more sense if you have the same color, but it's nothing major.

There are two ways of completing the Pokedex: seeing 'em all and catching 'em all. BW1 is not necessary to see 'em all, but you will need BW1 to catch 'em all. Reshiram is only available in Black 1 and White 2, and by online trade, but hacked legendaries are common online. You will also need BW1 for Tornadus (Black), Thundurus (White), and Landorus, or you can transfer them from the Pokemon Dream Radar 3DS app ($3). You will also need to find a Victini and a Keldeo through online trade because they're not being distributed anymore. Make sure to download Genesect via Wi-Fi Mystery Gift as soon as possible. Those are the only Unova legendaries you need to worry about. The rest can be obtained in Black 2.
The version exclusive pokemon in Black 2 are similar to what they were in Black 1, so you will need to trade with someone who owns White (2).

Thank you so much for the time you took to answer me. I just made my order for B1 and the strategy guide for bw1. I already have b2 and the guide for bw2. I guess this will make it rather easy for e to get into this gen :)

Also thanks for the legendary info, I'll bookmark it for later use :) You just helped me more than you probably think to get into Pokemon again, thank you :)
