5th Gen White Forest/Black City

In Generation V, there was a version exclusive area. In White and White2, it was White Forest, and in Black & Black2, in White Forest, in White version only, and not White2, you can find a ton of exclusive Pokemon there that are level 5 only. The Pokemon that appear depend on what NPCs are in the area. In White2, all wild Pokemon are gone and the area is replaced with the White Tree Hollow. In Black version, Black City is full of trainers you can battle throughout the city with mostly fully evolved Pokemon that can appear in White Forest. Again, these trainers depend on what NPCs are residing in Black City. You can influence what people appear in your forest/city by doing entralink with another person's City or Forest, you can talk to those people in the opposite (or maybe someone else's White Forest/City if you're connected to someone else's same game, but I don't know) to get them to come to your game.

People can also leave if they want to, and sometimes your entire forest or city will be barren.

Did you prefer White Forest or Black City? What did you think of the concept of version exclusive areas? Would you like to see it return?
 
I preferred Black City in the Gen V games, mainly because it had a better soundtrack than White Forest did. The urban setting was also much more appealing to me.
