Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 Guide
Open the sequel guide for Aspertia City, Neo Team Plasma, Kyurem, Champion Iris and the expanded Unova post-game.
Black 2 and White 2 are direct sequels set two years later. They start in Aspertia City, use a revised western Unova route, continue the Team Plasma conflict and end the League challenge against Champion Iris.
Requirements
Pokémon Black 2 or Pokémon White 2 for Nintendo DS.
Treat Memory Link, transferred Keys and Dream Radar content as external or connection-dependent features.
A direct sequel, not an enhanced version
The sequels use new protagonists, an expanded regional Pokédex and substantial new areas. Cheren and Roxie replace the original opening Gyms, Neo Team Plasma drives the conflict, and the story centers on Kyurem's fusion with N's legendary Pokémon.
Major sequel features
- Pokémon World Tournament and its returning Gym Leader formats.
- Join Avenue, Hidden Grottoes and Pokéstar Studios.
- Black Tower or White Treehollow as version-specific post-game challenges.
- Memory Link and the Key System, both limited by their original connection requirements.

Black 2 and White 2 take place two years after the first story and show how Unova, its characters and Team Plasma changed.
