Rosa (Japanese: メイ Mei) is the female player character in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. Her male counterpart is Nate.

Terminology

The name Rosa (Japanese: メイ Mei) is used in-game when she appears as a non-player character.

Prior to the release of Black 2 and White 2, Rosa was referred to as White2.

In the core series

As the protagonist

Rosa is a young girl living in Aspertia City with her childhood friend Hugh. At the start of the game, she sets off with Hugh to collect her first Pokémon. They then go their separate ways, and she starts her journey across the Unova region.

As a non-playable character

If the player chooses Nate, Rosa will appear in-game as an NPC, first met in Nimbasa City. She will join the player in a Multi Battle against Emmet and Ingo. Afterwards, she will give the player the Vs. Recorder.

Rosa will then appear as the player's partner in the Battle Subway when choosing to ride the Multi-Train. Two of the following Pokémon are picked from the corresponding list, depending on what the player wants her to base her team on. If the player chooses "A balance between the two," Rosa's Pokémon are chosen from either list.

Multi Battle partner

  If the player chose Snivy:



  If the player chose Tepig:



  If the player chose Oshawott:



Battle Subway Pokémon

These Pokémon will always have the maximum 31 individual values across every stat and the full 510 effort values evenly distributed (rounding down) among two or three stats.
