The Memory Link menu

Memory Link (Japanese: おもいでリンク Memory Link) is a feature in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. Memory Link allows players to sync either of the original Black and White games with Black 2 and White 2 via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection or DS Wireless Communications. With this feature, the player can access new game features and interactions in Black 2 and White 2. The player will need to progress their Pokémon Black or White game to specific points in the main story in order to unlock certain flashbacks via the Memory Link.

Events

There are several events that take place via Memory Link.

Flashbacks

Certain NPCs will reflect on the past when spoken to after Memory Link has been activated.

Trivia

• Although the White and Black flashback is referred in the Memory List not to be unlocked until the player has participated once in the Pokémon World Tournament, it is possible to view it before doing so.
• The flashback さらば あいすべき スター Farewell, Beloved Star was mistranslated as Farewell, Beloved Sister in English releases.
• Near the end of the flashback Taking it to The Next Level, Elesa says, "You bet! And don't call me Shirley." This is a possible reference to a line in the movie Airplane!
• All flashbacks use Black and White's An Unwavering Heart as background music.
• When Iris says "These memories have been engraved in each Pokémon's heart!" in A New Light, this could be a reference to the sign on Southern Island in the Hoenn region that reads "Those whose memories fade seek to carve them in their hearts..." seeing as there's a reference to the Sinnoh Myth earlier in the flashback.
