Plot
The games take place two years after the events of Pokémon Black and White. In this time, the Unova region appears to have changed greatly. New locations are accessible in the southwest of the region, one of them being Aspertia City, the new player's hometown. New Gyms and Gym Leaders are also be introduced, and the Unova Pokédex is expanded to include Pokémon foreign to the region, much like in Pokémon Platinum.
The player is able to choose to play as the boy, Kyouhei, or the girl, Mei, as they travel across the region against their rival, Hugh.

Seasons once again return to the games. In addition to covering the entire screen upon starting the games, a text box appears at the bottom of the screen presenting the current season every time a new area is entered.
Sprite animations
Just like in Pokémon Black and White, the Pokémon sprites are fully animated and move throughout battles. However, unlike Black and White, every Trainer in the game has battle animations, as well as more frames which allows smoother animations.
Gyms
Within the two years separating Black 2 and White 2 from their predecessors, some of the past Gym Leaders have passed on their positions to others or retired the Gym from the Unova League. The eight Gym Leaders of Unova are now: Cheren (Normal), Roxie (Poison), Burgh (Bug), Elesa (Electric), Clay (Ground), Skyla (Flying), Drayden (Dragon) and Marlon (Water).
Elite Four and Champion
Like Black and White, the Elite Four can be battled in any order; after battling all four, a path to the Champion is unlocked. The Elite Four members are Shauntal (Ghost), Grimsley (Dark), Caitlin (Psychic), and Marshal (Fighting). The new Champion is Iris.
Pokémon
Each game features a Pokédex of 300 different Pokémon species, many of which are from previous generations such as Growlithe, Psyduck, and Marill.

The Pokémon Global Link has also been updated to make way for the release of Black 2 and White 2. The games are compatible with Black and White, much as Platinum is to Diamond and Pearl.
