The Pokémon World Tournament is one the best post-game features in the series, as it not only allows you to battle Unovan Gym Leaders and Trainers, it also allows you to fight Gym Leaders and Champions from different regions.Bianca, Cheren, and N make a return, each having grown from their experiences in the last 2 years.And it even goes the extra mile of redeeming many members via Ex-Team Plasma in Driftveil City. Team Plasma makes a resurgence as full-time terrorists, rather than frauds claiming to represent Pokemon freedom.Even without difficulty settings, the main story is quite challenging with enemy Trainers have noticeably higher leveled Pokémon compared to other games.The Memory Link function activates multiple features such as flashbacks from the previous game, special fights, and difficulty settings.Aspertia City, the player's hometown, not only gives you your first starter, but in a unique twist, it also displays it's very own Pokemon Gym.The soundtrack, while it reuses tracks from Black and White, not only gives Gyms personality via the Gym themes, but it also updates some of the tracks to match it's updated soundfont.Hugh managed to become a popular rival within the Pokemon community, not just because of his fierce determination and goal, but also because he challenges the player's strength as well as aiding them against Team Plasma.Pokémon foreign to Unova are now available from the start of the game.The player travels the region in a different order from Black/White.The Unova region is expanded with new areas while previous areas are changed to reflect that two years have passed since Black/White.It is the very first time (and currently only time) in the entire franchise where the second pair of games in a Generation of Pokémon are proper sequels to the first pair rather than just updated versions with minor changes.
