5th Gen Assist Mode, Normal Mode or Challenge Mode?

So if someone with Black 2 beats the game and unlocks challenge mode, will someone with White 2 be able to get challenge mode off of their friends Black 2?

Or is Challenge mode exclusively for black 2?

I feel like I am so left behind...CHALLENGE MODE?!?! I have been waiting for something like this! I am kinda confused though. Correct me if I'm wrong: Black and White 2 both offer an extra mode, with Black's being the Challenge, and White's being the Assist? And you must play through first on Normal? So there is no way for Black to have Assist, or White to have Challenge?

Challenge mode. Everyone likes a challenge, don't they?

You can transfer the modes to other games using Unova Link. Its one of three options that Unova Link provides.

As for reason to Assist Mode, not everyone can play in normal mode. There are a bunch of younger kids that play this game that don't know what grinding is, or how to train their Pokemon. So when they made a mode to make the game more fun for those that have played the games for a while, they also made a mode for those just starting.

I remember when I first started I couldn't beat Giovanni in Silph Co. Took a bunch of tries but a friend ended up telling me its cause my levels were too low and I was still using Pokemon from the beginning of the game. For those that were like I was 14 years ago, this is a good thing.

I had to look up the changes from normal to challenge mode. The only differences are an increase in level (5 at most) and an additional Pokemon on Gym Leaders and Elite Four. More grinding =! more difficult, as such I'd probably do it once and then stick to assist or normal for farming events/legendaries to rng and get through the game faster.

I would be all over this if the puzzles and such were more difficult, though.

I would love to try challenge mode....unfortunately though I never restart a game once I've gone a considerable distance with. It's just not something I do and I don't intend to start now.

So getting challenge mode after I beat the elite four is about as useful to me as a coffee mug made of biscuits.

Can you pass it on over wifi? I might try that if it's possible.

The AIs also have better attack combinations and don't derp around waiting for you to KO their Pokemon. Some also have new attack lists.
