==Plot== | |||
{{spoilers}} | |||
The games take place two years after the events of {{game|Black and White|s}}. Many changes have taken place in [[Unova]] over this period: new locations are accessible in the southwest and northeast of the region, and some previously existing locations cannot be visited or are restricted until later in the game. Three new [[Gym Leader]]s and a new [[Champion]] are introduced, while the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]] is [[List of Pokémon by New Unova Pokédex number|expanded]] to include Pokémon foreign to the region, much like in {{game|Platinum}}. | |||
'' | The player—named, by default, {{ga|Nate}} if male or {{ga|Rosa}} if female—begins in the southwestern city [[Aspertia City]]. After receiving their [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] from [[Professor Juniper]]'s assistant [[Bianca]], they are encouraged to battle in [[Pokémon Gym]]s and aim for the {{un|Pokémon League}}. A boy from the player's hometown, [[Hugh]], will travel with the player at certain times. Filling the traditional [[rival]] role, Hugh is not pursuing the Pokémon League challenge: it is revealed that he is trying to recover a stolen Pokémon from [[Team Plasma]], who were not disbanded two years prior as expected. | ||
{{ | Over the course of their journey, the player and Hugh will have numerous encounters with both current and former members of Team Plasma, as well as the mysterious scientist [[Colress]]. One of the [[Seven Sages]], [[Zinzolin]], appears in an antagonistic role, yet former sage [[Rood]] will help the player. The plot comes to a head when Zinzolin freezes [[Opelucid City]] in ice with a combination of technology and the legendary dragon {{p|Kyurem}}, which Team Plasma has captured. The player must defeat Team Plasma including its new leader [[Ghetsis]] to free {{p|Kyurem}}. Ghetsis will combine the power of Kyurem with the power of the [[tao trio|legendary dragon]] befriended by [[N|his son]] two years earlier and force Kyurem to [[form differences#Kyurem|fuse]] with {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}} or {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}}. Only once Kyurem is safe and Team Plasma has been disbanded, can the player continue his or her journey to the Pokémon League. | ||
After the main plot of the game has been completed, many inaccessible parts of Unova, including the [[Skyarrow Bridge]], will be unlocked. Further Pokémon not native to Unova will be available, and the legendary Pokémon {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}} and {{p|Kyurem}} will reveal themselves to the player. When they are caught, the player will be able to fuse the Pokémon and change Kyurem's form at will. | |||

' | ==Changes from Pokémon Black & White== | ||
===Aesthetic changes=== | |||
{{ | * The opening is drastically different from the one in Black and White, now featuring the new [[Nate (game)|game]] [[Rosa (game)|characters]], the [[Tao trio]] and the [[Swords of Justice]]. Also, the title screen shows either Black Kyurem or White Kyurem, depending on the version. | ||
* The bar that shows a Pokémon's level, experience points, and HP has been redesigned. It is black in Black 2 and white in White 2. | |||
'' | * The area eyecatch has also been redesigned and shows the location in the top left of the screen and season in the bottom right. It is black in Black 2 and white in White 2. | ||
* New locations such as [[Aspertia City]], [[Virbank City]], [[Floccesy Town]], [[Lentimas Town]] and [[Humilau City]] have been added to the game. | |||
* New characters are introduced, such as [[Hugh]], [[Colress]], [[Roxie]], [[Marlon]] and [[Benga]]. | |||
* [[Cheren]], [[Bianca]], [[Elesa]], [[Ghetsis]] and [[Iris]] all receive redesigns. | |||
* All Unova Gyms receive redesigns, including newly remixed music in all but the [[Aspertia Gym]]. | |||
* Most of the Black and White music has been slightly remixed, in addition to the Gym Leader and Champion music from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh. | |||
* There have been several changes made to existing locations, such as [[Driftveil City]] and [[Nimbasa City]]. | |||
* Every Trainer has their own fully animated sprite. They have more frames, allowing for smoother animations. | |||
* Several attacks have received new battle animations. | |||
* The battle menu has been redesigned. | |||
* The [[C-Gear]] has been redesigned. | |||
* The [[Unova Pokédex]] has been expanded tremendously to accommodate older Pokémon. | |||
** It also receives a slight aesthetic change, now having a red background instead of green. | |||
** The Pokédex also receives an upgrade in the form of the Habitat List. It consists of a list of all visited places, with the Pokémon found there listed (if they have been seen). The player will sometimes receive prizes from certain NPCs {{tt|when a certain area is filled|This is indicated by a full Poké Ball if all of the Pokemon found there have been captured. An area gets a semi-full Poké Ball when all the Pokémon found in that area have at least been seen.}}. | |||
* All returning Gym Leaders and Champions receive new sprites. This also applies for the overworld sprites. | |||
* {{rt|4|Unova}} has changed drastically and also differs between Black 2 and White 2. | |||
* {{un|Victory Road}} changed drastically from [[Victory Road (Black and White)|Black and White]] to [[Victory Road (Black 2 and White 2)|Black 2 and White 2]] as well and differs in appearance between Black 2 and White 2. It has also changed location. | |||
* [[Challenger's Cave]]'s entrance collapsed, while {{rt|10|Unova}} was blocked off due to a landslide on Victory Road, making both areas inaccessible. | |||
* In place of [[Cold Storage]], there is now the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. | |||
* Places marked on the map with green dots in Black and White are now marked with green squares. Also, now when they are tapped they become red (though they still cannot be flown to). This was only true of [[Liberty Garden]] in Black and White. | |||
* During battles in tall grass, there are now visible tufts of grass around the platform, with varying colors depending on the season. | |||
* Following the battle at [[Opelucid Gym]], [[Team Plasma]] will freeze [[Opelucid City]] (along with a portion of the neighboring routes, {{rt|9|Unova}} and {{rt|11|Unova}}), which will last until after the player has defeated the Elite Four. | |||
* The weather icons are redesigned and smaller. | |||
{{ | ===Storyline changes=== | ||
{{spoilers}} | |||
* The player no longer starts in [[Nuvema Town]], instead starting in [[Aspertia City]]. | |||
* Instead of the usual 5 [[Poké Ball]]s, the player is given 10 at the start of his or her journey. | |||
* [[Chili]], [[Cress]], [[Cilan]], [[Lenora]] and [[Brycen]] are replaced by [[Cheren]], [[Roxie]] and [[Marlon]] as Gym Leaders. | |||
* Bianca gives the player a [[Starter Pokémon]]. | |||
* A new [[Team Plasma]] has formed, and is run by [[Ghetsis]]. | |||
* [[Colress]], a Team Plasma member, is battled frequently throughout the story. | |||
* [[Rood]], [[Zinzolin]] and the [[Shadow Triad]] are battled as part of the story. | |||
* The Gym Leader order has changed to Cheren, Roxie, Burgh, Elesa, Clay, Skyla, Drayden, Marlon. | |||
* Iris is the new Champion of Unova. | |||
* Ghetsis returns and plans to freeze Unova with Kyurem. | |||
* N returns to Unova with either Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}} or Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}, who is then fused with Kyurem to form either Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}} or White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}. | |||
* Unlike [[Pokémon Black and White]], the version mascots Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}} or White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}} can't be caught within the story, but can be obtained post-game by following certain requirements. | |||
* {{p|Cobalion}} and {{p|Virizion}} interact with the player, making it possible to catch them during the storyline, although it is possible to catch all three Pokémon including {{p|Terrakion}}. | |||
* Several tag battles take place throughout the game: one with the other player character, two with Cheren, four with Hugh, one with Bianca, and a daily tag battle with one of either Chili, Cress, or Cilan against the other two brothers. | |||
* A new attraction known as the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] opens up in Driftveil City, where the player battles Gym Leaders and Champions from all five regions, among others. | |||
* Another new attraction introduced is the [[Pokéstar Studios]], located in Virbank City, where the player takes part in many different movies. Brycen and [[Sabrina]] appear here. | |||
* Lenora revives the player's Fossils. | |||
* Several new key items exclusive to Black and White 2 are introduced. | |||
* During the post-game, the player may find [[N]] at his castle and on the first visit, battles his Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}} or Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}, who is free for capture after defeating N. Subsequent battles can be done once a season and feature N using a team of Pokémon centered around that season. | |||
* Several areas that were previously limited to the post-game of Black and White are now part of the main story. In contrast, some of the areas that were formerly part of the main story are now limited to the post-game. | |||
