After eight months of development, Pokemon White 2 ROM hack Blinding White 2 has been released. Going beyond what we usually see from fifth generation hacks, Blinding White 2 revamps the game with modern Pokemon, new item systems, a number of new rival fights, and a whole heap of quality of life updates. Trainers around the region will now sport much more varied teams to keep you on your toes, with a Hardcore mode available for people who really want to challenge themselves.
Though there are still more updates to come in the form of OST changes and postgame rematches, the hack is currently complete in its main story content, making this as good a time as any to give it a go. If you do want to try it for yourself, you can patch your ROM directly using Hackdex, or do it yourself with the BPS file on Google Drive.
Release Notes said:
Pokemon Blinding White 2 is an overhaul of the Gen 5 sequels that introduces a wide variety of unique gameplay changes in both the quality of life and difficulty field! Explore the Unova region with a dex of over 400 encounters curated to be more effective or interesting in battle, making your team diverse in each playthrough with large encounter tables in each area! Your opponents have also seen quite the jump in strategy as well, however! NPC trainers will pack a much greater variety of team members, and gym leaders utilize brand new strategies and even some future generation Pokemon to give the player a challenge! The game offers difficulty on both Normal and Hardcore mode, with Normal mode giving you a little more leeway while Hardcore mode pushes your skills to the very limit. While this hack is currently receiving frequent updates, the patch attached to this post is fully complete in its main campaign content barring a few possible additions along the line!
New features include:
New item systems that prioritize resource management in the early to mid game before opening up your options heavily near the end of your adventure. Manage Comet Shards wisely by battling 10+ diffferent boss trainers that include gym leaders and other notable trainers from other regions! These useful crystals can be used to buy battle items at a number of different markets, and this system will be expanded with time as well.
An expansion of the game’s rival fights! Gone are the days of only having two rival fights in the late game, as there’s a new rival fight in Chargestone Cave, a new Team Plasma storyline before the sixth badge, more story moments with Hugh, and even a brand new rival! Benga will battle you four times across the region to fill in the gaps of Hugh, so always stay on your toes! A variety of other important trainers may also get their own chance to shine, such as Bianca, Cheren, and N.
Quality of life updates, such as a free cheats menu, updated music tracks, more information on your Pokémon’s party screen, more accessible Breeder, Move Tutor, Deleter, etc!
New opportunities to get encounters! Previously unusable locations such as Pledge Grove and a few postgame routes now have a dedicated encounter table accessible during the story, and a variety of new gift Pokemon and trades have been added to allow you to slot in team members as you go! Maybe a random trade Pokemon could save your run, you never know!
A work in progress OST with variations of music from the base game, and some new tracks planned along the line! This includes remixes for battle themes, encounter themes, and some new tracks!
Tons of postgame rematches that are planned to become more expansive as the hack progresses!
