I do agree that the game has gotten easy for the most part. In the beginning though, I lost to my rival the first time and struggled a lot against Cheren and to a slightly lesser extent, Roxie. Had a Smivy against Cheren and also caught an Elekid before I battled Roxie (which was a pain to catch, surprisingly). I also even lost to my rival in the first battle! Clearly I had a lot of bad luck in the beginning and was wondering how my White 2 team could be better than my White team.
Before I battled Elesa, I caught my last team member, Panpour, and had a team of Servine, Elekid, Drilbur, Darumaka, Trapinch & Panpour. Things were decent, but my team stayed this way for a while. No evolutions until between the 5th & 6th gyms. I only had 1 evolution for a while. At least I had a near fully evolved team by the time everyone was out of the 30's and had a fully evolved team by LV 50.
Nowadays, things are incredibly easy. I also easily beat the league (though Shauntal's Cofagrigus is annoying because I have nothing super effective against it). The only thing giving me trouble is the World Leaders (or pretty much the PWT in general). I have won in it 8 times, but have played it so much more. At least you get good shards for losing (would like one more Blue Shard so I can get Superpower on my Samurott & Haxorus from White).
By the way, speaking about gym leader losses, I lost to Burgh once (I did have Darumaka, but underestimated his Leavanny and probably wanted to share EXP with another member of my team). Also lost to Clay once or twice, though the rest were relatively easy. Marlon was fun because I had my Serperior against his last one, Jellicent (his main) and he kept on using Recover. This was cool because it was also the last time I'd hear the Gym Leader's Final Pokémon music in-game.
Still, I would say that I like B2W2 more than BW and would call it my favorite Pokémon game. There is so much to do in it. Definitely more than BW.
