If you dont mind losing what you have on the game and want to play again, you could restart it, though if you can transfer what you want to keep to White, do so before restarting, but it's up to you.

Do you mean is Black 2 better than Black in terms of graphics? If that's what you mean, no. They use the exact same engine.

Hey everyone! So, I just got pokemon black, and I'm about to go for my fourth gym badge, but I want to bulk up my team a bit first. Right now my team consists of Dewott lvl 27, Simisear lvl 25, and a Roggenrolla that I just caught, lvl 16. What should I catch as my 4th team member, and where should I go to train?

I recommend Sandile/Krokorok. Train in the Desert Resort and other routes surrounding the city. Make sure you beat all the trainers

It depends on how soon you want them to learn a certain move they can learn by leveling them up.

If you look on Bulbapedia you can see the moves they can learn

I don't know where to ask for help regarding Pokemon Mystery Dungeon for the 3DS, but since this is about the 5th gen , I'll ask here.

I've been wanting to recruit a Wingull, but they are only found on Dreamy Island. I have this area, I have beaten the story, however I can't recruit any of the pokemon in that area, it says "Befriend: No". Serebii indicates you can recruit there. Is there something I am missing? I am Diamond Rank Rescue Team, and I have 5 areas to my Paradise.

Hey. Long lapsed player (from 2000 in fact).

In Pokemon Red/Blue there were a couple of instances where you had a choice of multiple Pokemon and you could only pick 1 of them, making it impossible to get the others. These choices were (from memory):
  • Fossil Pokemon (you had a choice of 2, and once you picked it the other became impossible to get)
  • Evee (back before breeding was around, the second you evolved evee it became impossible to get any of the other evee evolutions without trading)

I was wondering if there are any instances like this in Pokemon Black. I've already had a choice of two fossils and I've picked one. Does that mean the other fossil I didn't pick is now impossible to get? Also are there any other pokemon like this?

The fossil is your only choice like that but you can trade to get the other one easily

Heh. Not such a big deal with online trading and breeding. Thank you.

the most you can get in one stat is 255. you'll be able to do your other 252 stat without problems, but if you were hoping to do 4 EVs in another stat for that one extra point, you won't be able to
 
i just got white 2, and i want to transfer all of my pokemon from black to it. ive already reached the point where i can trade, but the only way i can find is one at a time. is there a faster way? i have nearly 60 pokemon
