General Nintendo

For those who played Pokemon Black/White amp Bw2 I'm planning on playing Pokemon again after many years (last game was Pokemon Emerald on the SP). So I missed out on Gen 4 & 5 and plan on getting 6. I prepared a list of Pokemon games I want but then I stumbled upon BW and BW2. Ususally it's like 2 games and then one (well what I call) "merged" one (ex. Ruby + Sapphire ~= Emerald). I don't want to spoil myself to find out the significant differences between the two, but all I know is that it's set 2 years later from the previous game. Would you say I have to play the first one to understand the second one, or I can just immediately jump into the second one? (Like instead of getting Diamond, I'm just going to Platinum) Thanks. -
