I got Pokemon Black 2 & White 2 this past Sunday. I started with Black 2, since I had Pokemon White, and I chose Oshawott as my starter Pokemon.
I beat the second gym leader just now. As in right this very second as of this writing! I spent most of my time walking around to improve the happiness of both my Asurill and Riolu so they evolved int Marill and Lucario, and since Lucario's a Steel-type, it helped a lot in that battle.
Also, I got Genesect the day I got Pokemon Black 2 & White 2, but only for Black 2, and it also feels weird, having only my Oshawott then suddenly obtaining this legendary Pokemon. I'm almost tempted to keep it in my party, now that all of my main team has leveled-up to it's level... It almost feels rather unfair.
I also feel compelled to talk about a certain "animal rights" activist group and what they did recently involving Pokemon, but I don't want to give them the attention.
