>>18531384I played White 2 before White. My character in White 2 had the same name as all the others before him, but yeah, due to that issue I used an entirely different one for White.
I later re-used the name for White when I played Colosseum for the first time a few weeks ago. Both are set in PokéAmerica, and Colosseum's main character is considerably older than any in the main games, so I figured it would make sense. Now I'm considering trading up my Modest Espeon from Colosseum into White for the post-game.
(I'd love to bring Stantler, Umbreon, and Hitmontop over as well, but their usefulness is limited to Doubles, they would just underpowerform in White)
