I disagree. The Black and White games have been really fun to play through, and they have the best story so far out of the franchise of games. They may be beating a Pokemon too much, but it's not quite dead yet in my opinion.
Now if you're talking about the anime, that thing has been dead since birth. |

As for the anime, yeah. Season 1 was fun for childhood nostalgia reasons (maybe even a little of Season 2, sans the idiot Tracey who replaced Brock), but the following stuff and the movies (oh lawd, the movies) were awful.

And I agree that there Black and White are relatively poor when it comes to gameplay and replayability, which is why Gen 5 is not my favorite Pokemon generation (that would be either Gen 1 or 4, but it's been some time since I've played them). I know it's different for you, but so far the main Pokemon RPG series, as repetitive as it is, hasn't given me any reason yet to become cynical over it, so I still tend to look at the best parts of each generation. |

Mhm, that's alright. You've got your own personal preferences, after all. For me, my favourite two generations are the first and second respectively. While Gold/Silver added new featurettes to the game, the original had the simplicity that I love. Respectively, Stadiums 1 and 2 were awesome as well, I think.

I do too, except for the starters. The starters should be some of the coolest Pokemon around, so that you don't want to get rid of them. Instead, the new crop feels bland and bad. And rehashed Fire/Fighting can burn in hell. Maybe v2 will introduce a new aspect to the game, since they didn't do it in the first Black and White. And no, rotational battles and 3v3 are not new aspects. I'm talking along the lines of hold items, abilities, and the physical/special split. |

Agreed. The developers at Game Freak reached a profound level of moronic insanity when making another fire/fighting starter. |

Ugh. I agree too that this set was by far the worst. There were some interesting ones, but I rarely ever tried to get my hands on even them.
Favorite gen is likely the 2nd or 4th

Whether you consider the current games boring is one thing, but calling it dead is as true as me being female.
In other words, it isn't. And as long as it outsells practically every other game in the industry, it can't be considered dead.

@team building in each generation: Fortunately I have always found a team that appealed to me visually while not being overly horrible in combat so far, especially as I cannot trade most of the time. You tend to get bombared with bazillion water types (except for Black/White I think), but I found most flying types in Black/White ugly except for Braviary, who evovolved painfully late as a story-team choice >_< |

I'm not looking at it financially. From my standpoint, I just really hate that feeling of when I know whereabouts the industry stopped being innovative and switches to milking dollars from consumers. That's just how I felt, and everyone else can have their own opinions.
Like I said though, Black and White felt insanely bland when it came to the Pokemon themselves, and to hear that they're making a sequel off of it...well, I don't know what they'll do. Something that might be cool is a proper console Pokemon game, maybe? Nothing like that Colosseum stuff, but in the style of the handheld RPGs. As long as the new Pokemon they come up with show a bit of creativity, I might be compelled to come back. As it is right now though, I won't be able to stand the Black/White generation monsters again, so I'll pass on B2/W2.

Aside from that, I look forward to any changes to the metagame such as additional moves added and such in the sequels.

Blaziken and Charizard are tied as the best fire starters. Charizard because he was a fucking dragon, and we all love dragons, and Blaziken because he was Pokémon incarnation of Chuck Norris, with Blaze roundhouse kick and everything .

Just curious here- was Charizard considered to be a Flying type of sorts in the first generation? I recall them adding types to Pokemon as generations went on, like to Magnemite for example.

Oh, and triple battles? REALLY hated that. What's next? Quad battle? 5 on 5s? Why not just throw all your Pokemon out at once, and whoever uses the attacks that completely destroys the other team first wins. One on one battles allowed you to fully strategize, and doubles wasn't bad either, but this felt a little ridiculous.
