    So I was browsing Serebii and I discovered that there is something called the Unity Tower in Black and White; basically, with every international trade you made, a new floor would unlock. Unity Tower can be accessed by taking the boat in Castelia City after you traded with someone outside of your country. The goal was to trade with a player from all 130 locations Pokemon is available in - how many international trades have you made and have you ever visited Unity Tower? Would you have changed anything about it?

    I didnt know it existed until I read its Serebii page, so I guess I haven't explored Unova enough, haha.
     
    I kinda wish that they would've given us a reason to go there other than "oh hey I've never been here let's check it out". There's really nothing to do there other than check out the floors you've unlocked an listen to whatever generic lines the NPCs representing the people you've traded with have to say. And now there's no reason to visit it at all since WiFi was shut down for the DS systems.

    I've been to Unity Tower only twice, and I think that I had about 13 or 14 floors unlocked from the GTS trades I did while you could still do that in Gen 5.

    I totally concur with this. There wasn't really much point to it other than to simply have something else to look at. Would have been nice to have some kind of incentive to visit; I went once and never bothered to come back, it's just a space filler so far as I can see.
     
    I didn't really do any global trades with BW when they still had Wi-Fi capabilities, so there was nothing I ever recall doing with Unity Tower. And I too hardly even knew it existed, and it doesn't seem like a feature I would really care for.
     
    I didn't trade until late in Gen V and even then, I think I mostly traded with American players so yeah. I never knew about that Tower, but it sounds boring and like a waste of effort and a missed opportunity.
     
    Yeah, I knew about Unity Tower, but I didn't unlock many floors, probably about 3.
     
    As someone who was never able to do international trades, I barely ever used this feature and only knew about the Unity Tower because it was mentioned online and such.

    and this is apparently my 24,000th post as well
     
    I never heard of this place either, but it sounds boring so I feel that I didn't miss out much haha.
     
    Like what has been mentioned, couldn't trade so never knew about such a place. Guess I'll never be able to visit it now. ;_;
     
    The concept is great, as Nah pointed out it would be great if the place has a practical use.

    Perhaps something that functions as a Secret Base/Super Secret Base from the Hoenn based games? Decorating isn't necessary, just a place to simply battle those players we've encountered.

    This place should be introduced in the Gen VI games, I can see it working in XY/OrAs. :)
     
    Unapologetic is onto something here, this place would have had more of a use if it were to carry over to 6th Gen but it's so sad that never happened.
