Pokémon Black and White Story *SPOILERS*

OK, I've completed the BW story, and I found it quite... boring. The plot is over done, and it's the same old story done in previous Pokémon games.
The story starts out interesting enough, but about half way though, it gets a bit predictable, and the only interesting part of the story was N.

The game takes place in Unova/Isshu, and because it's in a new Region, far away from the others, I though the story would be new too. Instead, it's just a dull clone and now I know why they call the game Pokémon Black and White. It's because you're the good guy (White/pure), Geechisu is the bad guy (Black/evil), and N is in between (Grey). Your friends/rivals are as 2D as before, and they want you to stop evil etc... It would of been nice if one of your friends was secretly evil, and it would of made for some good character development.

I don't like how in every Pokémon game, the bad guys get stronger, because you're strong and I'd like it more the other way around.
Personally, I'm sick of all Pokémon game plots, and I think it could of been quite cool if a member of the E4/Champion would of been evil and you fought him/her at the beginning of the game and lose and you have to eventually beat him/her at the end.

The ending is the same as usual, where the main bad guy gets arrested/gives up/goes missing.

Now, I don't hate this game, I just don't like how recycled the plot is. There's other things to do than play the main plot, but that's probably the worst thing I've found about the game.

There are other things I also don't like about BW and it's how liner the map is. The only way it could get any more liner, is if everything was in a straight line. I don't like how GF lied about how Zoroa was going to evolve in a unique way, yet it just evolves at Level 30. Plus GF also said you could chose how you play the game, by selecting certain choices, but no such thing was implemented.


I hope I didn't come across as a whiny baby, since I find it quite hard to write.
