1. Its funny that my thread which covered this exact same topic just dissapeared and this one has 2 more pages. :(
2. I'm PLEADING for a way to get our teams over to B/W. Maybe its the OCD in me, but I have to have my competetive pokemon in the newest generation. Thats just a must. As far as "Pal Park" goes? I have a feeling Nintendo will scrap that, and revert back to the old ways. The only reason the pal park was an option was to continue the usage of cartridge GBA games. With HGSS, and DPPt, every Pokemon is available in one way or another. They're trying to eliminate cartriges now. With B/W coming out, considering the version differences, (certain Pokemon only available in certain games, ie. reshiram and zekrom) they will HAVE to maintain some connectivity with the older games, just to be able to complete the National Dex. Which... to my anguish... will require over 500 Pokemon to be seen or captured. There goes next summer vacation. :P
