So what did you think of Dive being remade in Unova?
Did it annoy you that you could only use it for the ruins?
What did you particularly enjoy/hate about it?
Did you ever use it?
What do you think of the Ruins mystery?
and anything else you can come up with? xD

I thought it was kinda cool how they included, but it kind of just seems like they did that just so they could say, "Look guys, you can Dive again! How cool is that?" because it didn't really lead to anything except for the Ruins (and even then just so you could get Artifacts, aka $). The ruins were kinda cool, though I was hoping for more of an explanation on what they were! I guess there is always going to be that mysterious place, and we can only wonder what it actually is!

I'm glad it saw some use but the fact that it wasn't really used much overall was annoying because it would've been fun to explore the secrets of Unova's oceans! But sadly there wasn't anything to explore so it was less exciting that it was back. Maybe if it was in random routes in route 17/18 that would've been awesome.

I'm glad Dive returned, but when I found out it was only accessible in the Abyssal Ruins I was a bit disappointed, especially given the time limit when you're in there. I did explore the Ruins and got some of those elemental plates, but I would've appreciated being able to dive on Route 17 and 18 as well, like what Nica said.

I was fairly happy with it being only used in a certain area. That way I was sure I wouldn't need it elsewhere when I might not have a Pokemon with the move. But I've never really liked having to use multiple HM moves to go through an area. Surf and Waterfall already makes me a little annoyed.

I liked the ruins though, just for that extra sense that there is old and mysterious stuff about.

Always loved dive in R/S/E, and loved the concept behind the Abyssal Ruins, but was disappointed to find out that was the only place you could use Dive in Black and White. Even if there were some dive spots all over the map that led to hidden items or Pokemon (similar to the Hidden Grottoes of B/W2) would've been cool, and made Dive a little more useful overall.
