BW on it's own really were unimpressive and I understand the hate they recieved. Coming right after Platinum and HGSS left them with big shoes to fill that those games just couldn't. Not that they were bad, just not on par with what came before. What saved Gen5 was BW2, and personally changed my stance on BW. Both together make the best experience Pokemon ever had.

I haven't played enough Platinum to say for sure, but that doesn't sound right to me at all. BW alone was a very good game already.

Platinum added and changed so much that it's still considered the definitiv Gen4 version, even after BDSP released. It's really that different.

So I hear, but also that DP was really flawed before it. BW was pretty good by itself.
