    If you've played either Black or White, you'd have noticed by now that PokéCenters and the PokéMarts have combined into one big building. Featuring two people who can sell items, one nurse, wifi functions and a few people, they've brought together the two things that are pretty much must haves for any town in Pokémon games.

    How do you feel about the two buildings combining - does it make your playing experience easier? And was this needed from the start or not?
    Did you prefer when the two were seperate buildings because you got more people to talk to between the two, or for another reason?
     
    I think that the fact they're together is pretty cool, except sometimes I leave and have to go back in because I forget that the Mart is in the PC now. But I also think that this wasn't needed in other regions because Unova is the most techy of all the regions, so...I don't know, I just can't picture it in regions like Kanto and Johto. Maybe Sinnoh it would work, but anything past that, nah. It's definitely a nice feature though.
     
    I think it makes more sense for there to be a Pokemon Center everywhere than for there to be both a Pokemon Center and a Pokemon Mart in even the smallest towns. I think in a lot of places, it makes each town feel more unique than just figuring out where those two places are. It gives them more space to add flavor to each city.

    It also solves the age-old question of how did the Pokemon Centers stay afloat when they're everywhere and give all their services for free.
     
    I Actually Find It Kinda Funny.

    I Mean I Know Most Will Think It's good, But I Kinda Like It To Where I Actually Walked Out Of The Pokemon Center In Search For The Pokemon Mart Before I Realize It's With The Center.
     
    I think it's cool that I can heal my pokemon and buy healing items and pokeballs
     
    On the plus side, there's no more shuffling between both buildings. I really enjoy this feature because it really does make things faster.
     
    At first, I didn't really like it. I thought it was weird and it didn't really feel right. After a while though, I began to like and now I'm quite happy they did it.
     
    Although it is more convenient, I don't think they should have changed it and I don't see why they did. I dont' have any problems with it, it was just an unnecessary change, and I will miss having the Pokemarts :(
     
    I think it is nice, quick, and convenient. However, I do sort of miss the Mart theme, which to my knowledge is used in only one area in Black and White.

    Also, I can't say I'm a huge fan of how even though the two buildings are combined, it still takes on the appearance of a Center. I think they should have made a new building design that incorporated both halves of the building's uses.
     
    lol, I don't get the others' opinions. Why would you want both separately? They should have done this since day 1! There's no need to have some extra building taking up space to sell drugs when you can just have it inside the PC. It's like a hospital and a pharmacy in the same building. It's convenient and quick, so what's not to love? I mean, it wasn't terrible the way it was before BW, but it sure wasn't as efficient, either.
     
    The Pokemon Center and Pokemart combining is very convenient because I don't have to hunt around for a Pokemart while I'm in a huge city. I miss the theme that plays in the mart, though.
     
    It is a lot more convenient but I miss the separate Poke Mart buildings. I have on occasion walked out of the Pokemon Centre think the Poke Mart is elsewhere. At least now it will be easier to get events from the man because I won't have to go back and forth.
     
    It's convenient and I definitely don't mind it at all. As Devil Flamingo said, why have an extra building taking up space when the two could be merged into one?
     
    I'm at the Pokecenter, I'm at the Pokemart, I'm at the combination Pokecenter and Pokemart...
     
    Much better in my opinion. Though I think that realistically they wouldn't have it in every city and it should vary, and the Pokemon centre's shouldn't look the same inside in every town/area.
     
    I like that they are both in one building. It saves time and it looks really cool. I like being able to do everything at one place.
     
    I like the addition, it just makes more sense, it was just a bit annoying having to heal your pokemon and then go into a different building if you wanted to buy some items.
     
    I love the idea that both were combined. As others said it's just a great convenience to have, plus gives room in towns for other things besides marts :P. Also time with going between the two with loading times and all.
