Yeah, a sequel going over the same area a year or two later is more fun than a third game with a couple token differences. Takes more effort though, I guess.

I definitely agree, but my main question is "where would it go?" B/W 2 seemed to be the idea from the beginning, what with a few plot threads left hanging and Cynthia foreshadowing the hell out of the Tournament. I really can't think of anything like that in X/Y. I'm not saying they couldn't or shouldn't, it'd be a great idea, but unfortunately I don't really see it happening.

For one Lysandre being exposed to the light of the weapon, along with the protagonists. Which I believe Sycamore mentions.

FredMSloniker posted:Regarding that loose end: I got the impression that the protagonists were not exposed to the effect, given that they escaped the cave collapse and Lysandre didn't. Mind you, a sequel could still have an immortal Lysandre dig his way out. Quote from Sycamore. "You were exposed to the Legendary Pokemon's energy in Team Flare's secret HQ." The same energy that made Lysandre immortal, and revived his Floette. So, yeah, still a bit of a loose end.

Man, this part of the game. This part nearly made me leave B2 entirely, out of how drat boring it was. Hopefully you can take it better than I could, Chorocojo, I just couldn't enjoy it at all. Also that's one impressive mail. Considering how bad the censor is, I'm surprised something like that is possible.

You can't use the default name, since it has "Prick" in the name. Nor can I figure out why you can't name yourself Pixyl in Mystery Dungeon for the 3DS.

Lentimas Town is one of the few things I remember about B2 (I was so bored by most of the game it just didn't stick with me). I was disappointed they didn't do more with it/make it a bit bigger, I liked the look of the town so much (mostly because I live in the desert southwest myself). Also, belatedly, the Bianca's journal updates continue to be adorable.

Lentimas is also a bit of a disappointment after the start presents you with a fair amount of new area, followed by the Aha effect when you see more familiar sites and suddenly you´re in a dull colored town with nothing to do.  Lentimas town and the next dungeon were to me two of the worst parts in the game. Lentimas town is completely forgettable due to the lack of things to do. In addition I didn't like the Pokes on this route either.

I'm hoping these next few updates will remind me before I play through it myself and find out.

Lentimas definitely should have been bigger, hell, maybe it should have had a gym, rather than somewhere else (which is also a boring place, but also annoying to navigate). The upside is that the next update should feature the most awesome B2/W2 area not in the original games.

I'd have gladly replaced Skyla with a Rock or Fire gym in this town just to shake things up a little. Not that I have anything against her or her gym, but I like my semi-sequels to have some more unique settings than the original. Without that, this place comes off as pure filler.
