    These games have the weirdest difficulty options ever. You can unlock and Easy and Challenge mode, but only after you've beaten the games. Weirder still, only White 2 has Easy and only Black 2 has Challenge.

      Editing … Well, you're supposed to have a friend who's already beaten the game so you can do Unova Link or whatever it's called, and have these unlocked from the start. And you can't do it over the internet, of course. I recently got my copy of White 2 and was pretty annoyed that I can't play through the game in Challenge Mode. Though looking at the changes on Bulbapedia, it doesn't seem to make that much of a difference. But yeah, Game Freak/Nintendo/The Pokemon Company/Whoever's Fucking Responsible have always made poor design decisions that take away a lot of potential for fun out of the games, at least until Pokemon X/Y. Why do I always need to beat a gym before I can trade over Pokemon? Why can I not import Pokemon from Gen 3 to 4, or 4 to 5 until I've beaten the game? This can easily be circumvented by importing them into a different copy and trading them from there anyway. Why, when I do get to import my Pokemon, do I need to re-catch them in this shitty Safari Zone thing in Gen 4, and play a stupid pokeball throwing minigame in Gen 5? Why do I only get to import 6 Pokemon a day in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum? Why do I need to have seen a Pokemon before I can ask for it on the Global Trade Center? Why can I not turn on the chiptune soundtrack in HeartGold/SoulSilver until after I've beaten the game? Pokemon X/Y has basically fixed all of that. But why did it take so fucking long in the first place? Just let people have their fun.

      Editing … Like lots of other things in Pokémon it's to try and force you to connect with other peoples games. It's one of the key elements of the series as defined by the original creator.
