Although some of Unova is geographically based on New York, the creators of the region took some liberties in regards to the surrounding areas. Clearly, the largest city in Unova, [[Castelia City]], is based on {{wp|Lower Manhattan}}, but to the immediate north of Castelia is (as opposed to a continuing metropolis as in real life) a [[Desert Resort|vast desert]]. [[Nimbasa City]], which is to the north of Castelia City, could be a reference to {{wp|Broadway (New York City)|Broadway}}, which is located in Manhattan. [[Nacrene City]], with its restored storehouses, is reminiscent of the ubiquitous lofts in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The division of Unova may also be a reference to the {{wp|Borough (New York City)|Boroughs of New York City}}. The [[Skyarrow Bridge]] is a reference to the {{wp|Brooklyn Bridge}}, which connects Brooklyn and Manhattan. The [[Battle Subway]] is a reference to the {{wp|New York City Subway}}, which is the most extensive public transit system in the world, as well as one of the oldest. | Although some of Unova is geographically based on New York, the creators of the region took some liberties in regards to the surrounding areas.

Significant construction occurred in [[Undella Town]], with {{tc|the Riches}} moving away (except for the father) and their house being demolished; in its place, many new villas were built. In this construction effort, the mountain was dug away to the point where construction workers dug an entrance into [[Reversal Mountain]]. In addition, the [[Marine Tube]] was constructed between Undella Town and [[Humilau City]]. | Significant construction occurred in [[Undella Town]], with {{tc|the Riches}} moving away (except for the father) and their house being demolished; in its place, many new villas were built.

Finaly, some other events also happened, being specified on [[Memory Link|flashbacks]]. One of the references made specifies a major event, which is the fact that [[Team Plasma]] was restored by [[Ghetsis]]. | |||

{{ga|Nate}}/{{ga|Rosa}} receives his/her first Pokémon from Bianca in his/her hometown of [[Aspertia City]]. Together with [[Hugh]], who hopes to take back his sister's {{p|Purrloin}} from [[Team Plasma]], the duo takes on the new lineup of Gyms in the Unova region. After Nate/Rosa earns the {{badge|Legend}} from [[Drayden]], Team Plasma attacks [[Opelucid City]], covering the city in unbreakable ice. The [[Shadow Triad]] takes the opportunity to steal the {{key|V|DNA Splicers}} from [[Opelucid Gym]]. Nate/Rosa and Hugh chase Team Plasma to [[Humilau City]], where after earning their final badge, the {{badge|Wave}}, they confront [[Zinzolin]], [[Colress]], and the Shadow Triad at the [[Giant Chasm]]. After the Triad releases Hugh's sister's Purrloin, now a {{p|Liepard}}, Hugh tells Nate/Rosa to go ahead and confront Team Plasma's leader, [[Ghetsis]]. | {{ga|Nate}}/{{ga|Rosa}} receives his/her first Pokémon from Bianca in his/her hometown of [[Aspertia City]].

Just before Ghetsis freezes Nate/Rosa alive with {{p|Kyurem}}'s {{m|Glaciate}}, [[N]] flies in on {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}}, saving him/her. However, Ghetsis uses Kyurem's power to turn {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}} back into an orb, then uses the DNA Splicers to fuse it with Kyurem, turning it into [[Form differences#Kyurem|Black/White | Just before Ghetsis freezes Nate/Rosa alive with {{p|Kyurem}}'s {{m|Glaciate}}, [[N]] flies in on {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}}, saving him/her.

Nate/Rosa knocks out Kyurem, causing the two {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon to separate, then defeats an enraged Ghetsis. Thankful, N suggests that Nate/Rosa proceed to the {{un|Pokémon League}}. Heeding his words, Nate/Rosa ascend {{OBP|Victory Road|Black 2 and White 2}}, defeats the Elite Four, and emerges victorious in battle with the new {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Iris]]. | ||
After returning home, Hugh's sister thanks the player for helping her big brother, and tells Nate/Rosa that she has been dreaming of a {{p|Zoroark}} calling Nate/Rosa's name. At Hugh's suggestion, Nate/Rosa returns to Victory Road, finding a Zoroark that leads him/her to the ruins of [[N's Castle]], where N and Reshiram/Zekrom challenge them to battle. After being defeated, N says goodbye to his dragon and releases it by asking it to turn back into an orb to give to Nate/Rosa.

After such thing is done, N returns and tells the player that Kyurem has reawakened. With this, Nate/Rosa heads to the Giant Chasm again and catches the normal form of the version mascot, that leaves behind the DNA Splicers, which can be used by the player to merge or separate it from any of the two legendary Unova dragons. | ||
