Well...let's see...for BW I thought it was a little messy at the beginning because of the two Tepig and all (along with how Cheren and Bianca got different starters than what they would have gotten in the games if the player started out with Tepig). And plus, the mini-volumes that Viz was releasing, I thought they were gonna be actual volumes and you can imagine how much more angry I got after thinking that the BW volumes were 3-4 rounds each. Then again, I was an ignorant 14-year old so what did I know. XD I know how it really works now! ^_^ After time passed, I got to really like the BW chapter. I like how both Black and White went through major character development after they both suffered traumatizing experiences (and not to mention, since I am a big fan of Pokemon Special traditions, how White got Tepig taken away from her and got Servine instead, which keeps up the tradition). As for the B2W2 chapter, well to be honest with you, I hated it at first because initially I thought that the only way to keep the starter tradition was to give Hugh a Pokedex (yes I know that that breaks the naming tradition but I didn't care atm) and give him Cedric's Samurott while giving Nate and Rosa's clothes to Black and White but after I thought it through, I thought that what Kusaka did was actually the better path since Rakutsu (if he's the rival Dexholder) got Dewott and if, ONLY if Rakutsu and Faitsu will eventually come to be known as Black 2 and White 2 (hey, Rakutsu's code name is Black 2) then Kusaka will save both the naming tradition and the starter tradition. ^_^ So yeah, I like how the B2W2 chapter is going so far. I like its originality compared to BW (at least the ending). The only parts that I don't like are their names (wtf is Rakutsu and Faitsu???) and how they are 12 instead of 14 like how Black and White were in their turns to shine.
