Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

Aspertia City

• Talking to Professor Juniper:

"Oh, hi! Why, Aurea Juniper! It's been far too long! What can I do for you? ... Wow! A Pokédex... For my child? Why, that's great! I think a journey would be a wonderful experience! What now? She's already here? Oh, for Pete's sake. You never change. Once you've decided on something, you just start going. OK! Bianca, right? A big, green hat. Got it. OK! No worries!"

• Returning home:

"<Player>! I'm home!"

• When the player leaves their room:

"Do you know Professor Juniper? She's a famous Pokémon researcher. Actually, she's an old friend of mine, and she called me today for the first time in ages! This is out of the blue, but, <player>! Do you want to have a Pokémon?"

No: "What?! That's a shock! I'll ask you again. Do you want a Pokémon?"

Yes: "OK! Step one completed! Well then, do you know what a Pokédex is?"

No: "I see... It's an amazing device that automatically records the Pokémon you encounter! Yet another question! You want a Pokédex, right?"

Yes: "I knew you would! Isn't it amazing how it automatically records Pokémon you encounter? Yet another question! You want a Pokédex, right?"

No: "I don't mean to be selfish, but I'd like it if you were a bit more agreeable. Having a Pokédex means travelling around the world! Think about that for a second. So I'll ask you again... You want a Pokédex, right?"

Yes: "OK! Step two completed! <Player>! Your course of action has been set! A girl named Bianca has come here to meet you! She's Professor Juniper's assistant. I was told to simply look for a big, green hat! That's right! You're going to go look for Bianca. And then you'll get a Pokédex and a Pokémon to be your partner! Oh! Your Xtransceiver's in your Bag right? Do you know how to open your Bag?"

No: "I'll send you off with these words from “Adventure Rules.” “The X Button is vitally important for Trainers.” OK! Off with you now! Go look for Bianca, OK!"

Yes: "The girl's name is Bianca. I was told you should look for a big, green hat! She might be lost because this is her first time here. Go look for her!"

• If the player speaks to her again before finding Bianca while alone:

"The girl's name is Bianca. I was told you should look for a big, green hat! She might be lost because this is her first time here. Go look for her!"

• If the player speaks to her again before finding Bianca while accompanied by Hugh:

"Oh? Are the both of you out looking for Bianca? You still haven't found her? Look for the big, green hat!"

• Outside the Pokémon Center after finding Bianca:

"Oh! Nice to meet you! You must be Bianca, right? And <player> picked <starter>, then! Hee hee. Looking good! Oh! I almost forgot! Here! Take these! They're Running Shoes! A perfect fit! I'll read the instructions to you! “Hold the B Button to run faster than normal. Put on the Running Shoes and race around to your heart's content!” Now, you and <starter> can run anywhere you want!"

"That's a good idea! Even if it is a single road to the ocean, having a Town Map is always nice. I mean, if you use a Town Map, you'll know all about what the Unova region is like!"

"Bon voyage! Take <starter> and go see many different Pokémon and people with your own eyes!"

• If the player speaks to her again outside the Pokémon Center:

"Bon voyage! Take <starter> and go see many different Pokémon and people with your own eyes!"

• At home (after having heard Bianca's catching tutorial):

"Welcome back! Hey, how are your Pokémon? Well, why don't you rest for a moment? Nothing but hard work will wear you out!"'

• Immediately after the player's party has been healed, and if the player speaks to her again before having left the house (random):

"The same step is a lot more wonderful if it's made while thinking about Pokémon!"

"I wish we knew how Pokémon felt..."

"Seeing energetic Pokémon fills me up with energy, too! It reminds me of when I used to work in the Pokémon Center!"

"When I was younger, I worked at Pokémon Centers all over the place!"

"Looking good! Both you and your Pokémon seem raring to go!"

• After entering the Hall of Fame:

"Welcome home, <player>! Hmm. I barely recognize you! It seems like you've seen and thought about a lot and grown into an adult! Oh! Seems we're about to have a visitor!"

"It's been a long time, Professor Juniper!"

"Wow! That's amazing! That must be why you and your daughter are Pokémon Professors!"

"He left... Oh, that's right! <player>! I have a present for you, too!"

"No matter what you do, your time is yours and your Pokémon's alone! So decide what you want to do for yourself and do it! I enjoy my own time in my own way, too!"

Xtransceiver

• Call from the player's mother when the player first enters Virbank City:

"Hi! It's your mom! Where are you right now? Wow, Virbank City! There's a complex there, right? Have you been there yet? The way it looks at night is really quite nice! And you can also train your Pokémon there! You know, your Pokémon can do some things and you can do others. I hope you can all work together and accomplish amazing things!"

• Call from the player's mother when the player enters the east side of Route 7:

"Hi, it's your mom! Where are you now? ... Wow! Route 7, huh? That's amazing! How are you getting along with your Pokémon? You know, the reason you can go to all these great places is because of your Pokémon. So, always be grateful for them. And take them straight to the Pokémon Center if they get hurt! And that's it from the former Pokémon Center receptionist... your mother!"

• Mother's opening when the player calls her:

"Oh! You sound full of energy!"

• When the player is presented with dialogue options:

"What do you need, dear?"

• "I'd like to talk."

"There are many different Pokémon, and even the same kind of Pokémon have individuals with completely different Natures! I wonder what kind of Pokémon is a perfect match for you."

(Mother's comment on the place the player is...)

"Nuvema Town?" "Wow, Nuvema Town? You must be going to the Juniper Pokémon Lab then, right? Or could you be going to visit my friend's house?" "Accumula Town?" "Accumula Town! I remember hearing the pretty sound of someone playing an instrument there." "Striaton City?" "I recommend the restaurant in Striaton City! It's run by former Gym Leaders, so I'm sure it's amazing!" "Nacrene City?" "I really like Nacrene City's warehouses, especially Café Warehouse! But, actually, the place you absolutely must visit is the Nacrene Museum." "Castelia City?" "Castelia City! There's just too much to see there! You might want to participate in the Castelia Harlequin Hunt! That's a great way to see the sights. Other than that... Try exploring on your own! Exploring is one of the most fun things about arriving in a new city!" "Nimbasa City?" "Nimbasa City is the city of entertainment! Working at the Pokémon Center there was sure a lot of fun. Well, now... Big Stadium and Small Court are packed with tough Trainers. There are so many other things to see and do! Enjoy yourself!" "Driftveil City?" "Driftveil City! Recently, hotels have been popping up there like crazy, so I hear. Boy, other than that, I sure don't know much about it!" "Mistralton City?" "Mistralton City always makes me think of Skyla! People who had been hurt by the device in her Pokémon Gym would come to the Pokémon Center." "Icirrus City?" "Icirrus City, huh... The way the seasons change there is nice. I particularly like how it looks in winter." "Opelucid City?" "Opelucid City! That's a great city! I heard that the mayor, Drayden, can teach an amazing Dragon-type move!" "Route 1?" "Route 1... Um, now, what was there? Oh, that's right! Using Surf will take you to an unexpected place!" "Route 2?" "Route 2, eh... I vaguely remember there being some ledges on that route!" "Route 3?" "The Day Care is on Route 3. There's a preschool there too, right? And what was that other place called? Wellspring Cave, was it? It's on that same route." "Route 4?" "Wow! Route 4! Always a lot going on over there. Things like construction and people finding ruins." "Route 5?" "I used to slip out of the Pokémon Center from time to time and go watch the performers on Route 5. While I was there, I met many people, such as a girl who would buy items." "Route 6?" "Did you visit the Season Research Lab on Route 6? Also, wasn't there a cave around there? And... Oh, yes. Watch out! You might get fooled by something!" "Route 7?" "Route 7 has those raised walkways. If you stop, you fall right off! Also, I seem to remember an unexpected Pokémon popping out of the tall grass." "Route 8?" "Route 8's puddles freeze in winter. I liked how you could slide on them, but it was a bit hard to make forward progress!" "Route 9?" "Route 9, huh. The toughs that hang out there might challenge you to a Pokémon battle. But you're a tough Trainer yourself, so that works out great for you!" "Route 11?" "Route 11 is just like Route 14. Waterfall time!" "Route 12?" "Route 12's gently sloping hills roll up and down, up and down. Strolling across them is a nice feeling!" "Route 13?" "My impression of Route 13 is that it's rather long! I remember the main route's being hard to find, but it's nice because you can go many places!" "Route 14?" "You're on Route 14? Then...use Waterfall, right?!" "Route 15?" "Wow, Route 15... The highlight is the Poké Transfer Lab. And I think there was a lady there who would trade Pokémon. Hmm... Could I have misremembered?" "Route 16?" "Route 16, huh... You sure don't expect to find a forest like that so close to Nimbasa City, do you? I wonder what the Lostlorn Forest is like these days." "Route 17?" "Route 17, is it? The current was so fast, I couldn't go where I wanted..." "Route 18?" "Route 18! The most interesting thing about it... What could it be?" "Dreamyard?" "The Dreamyard... I've heard that rarely seen Pokémon go there. A mysterious power remains that draws them there." "Pinwheel Forest?" "Bug-type Pokémon can be found all over Pinwheel Forest. By the way, it never bugs me to see Bug-type Pokémon!" "Desert Resort?" "Watch out for sandstorms in the Desert Resort! Some types of Pokémon will take constant damage in them!" "Relic Castle?" "The Relic Castle, you say? You'll get buried in sand! You already know this, right? If you run onto pits in the sand, you'll fall through them!" "PWT?" "The Pokémon World Tournament? Oh, so you are in Driftveil. What are you going to do? Did you enter the tournament? I'll be cheering for you on TV!" "Chargestone Cave?" "What's this? I'm hearing a buzzing noise. What? Chargestone Cave? Wow! The Xtransceiver works in there? I never knew that!" "Twist Mountain?" "I'm having a hard time hearing you... Twist Mountain? Oh, now I see! You're in Clay's mountain, then. I've heard you can find Fossils there!" "Dragonspiral Tower?" "Dragonspiral Tower! Wow! You can go inside? Isn't that the place where they say the legendary Pokémon is resting?" "Victory Road?" "Victory Road! The road that puts you to the test! You'll be fine! You've got Pokémon by your side!" "Lacunosa Town?" "Lacunosa Town... Oh, my word. What made an impression on me when I visited that town was that it was completely different from day to night." "Undella Town?" "Undella Town, Undella Town. A very rich family used to live there, but it looks like everyone moved. I hear the Marine Tube is totally amazing!" "Anville Town?" "Anville Town! What? Were you a big fan of trains? Still, I understand how you feel." "Pokémon League?" "The Pokémon League! Oh, my goodness! So, you just have to challenge the Elite Four, and then... Believe in your Pokémon and move forward!" "N's Castle?" "Pardon me? Where? N's Castle? I'm sorry... I've never heard of it." "Gear Station?" "Gear Station, then? The trains to Anville Town get overlooked more often than you'd expect! If you have time, you should take a ride!" "Musical Theater?" "Musical Theater! Hee hee hee! I used to go there often, too! I only went to watch, though! The Pokémon look so cute with their accessories and dancing!" "Black City?" "Black City, huh? I wonder how it has changed." "White Forest?" "White Forest, huh? I wonder how it has changed." "Unity Tower?" "Unity Tower! If you've traded Pokémon with people from other countries, you should definitely visit!" "Wellspring Cave?" "Wellspring Cave... It's small, but exploring deep within the cave is surprisingly difficult." "Mistralton Cave?" "Mistralton Cave, huh? Many Trainers go there to catch a Pokémon called Axew!" "Rumination Field?" "Rumination Field? Oh, yes! Deep in Pinwheel Forest, as I remember. Now, what are you doing in a place like that?" "Celestial Tower?" "The Celestial Tower... A final resting place for Pokémon. I'm sure some kind soul will ring the bell today." "Moor of Icirrus?" "Moor of Icirrus... Moor of Icirrus... What is it? I've heard of it, but I've never been there..." "Shopping Mall?" "A Shopping Mall? Hm. Now, I wonder why the first thing that came to mind was the storeroom!" "Poké Transfer Lab?" "The Poké Transfer Lab! Helping Professor Park is a lot of fun, isn't it?" "Giant Chasm?" "The Giant Chasm? Where is that? Where the meteor fell? What? Is that not it? I think I heard something like that from Professor Juniper once, though..." "Liberty Garden?" "Where are you now? In Liberty Garden? Two years ago, it became really famous when a mythical Pokémon was found there!" "P2 Laboratory?" "P2 Laboratory? I don't know much about that. Could that be the lab on Route 17?" "Skyarrow Bridge?" "The Skyarrow Bridge is sure amazing. When I saw that the first time... That's right, saw it, not crossed it. I guess, at the time, I was just astonished." "Driftveil Drawbridge?" "The Driftveil Drawbridge, eh? I've always wanted to see the bridge opening and closing." "Tubeline Bridge?" "Did you feel the vibrations of the Tubeline Bridge on the bottom of your feet? It feels like those vibrations give you energy. I just love that feeling!" "Village Bridge?" "Recently, the Village Bridge has changed a bit, and there are things like tennis courts there. There's no Pokémon Center, though. I haven't really gotten used to it yet." "Marvelous Bridge?" "The Marvelous Bridge has a futuristic design. But I've heard rumors of a ghost there..." "Abundant Shrine?" "Now, hm, the Abundant Shrine? The shrine honors the weather Pokémon that is said to watch over harvests..." "Undella Bay?" "Undella Bay is a famous place to dive! And, on the bottom of the sea... Well, you should see for yourself!" "Lostlorn Forest?" "Lostlorn Forest? I think it may have been the work of a Pokémon..." "Guidance Chamber?" "The Guidance Chamber... Oh, I remember! Wasn't it in the deepest part of Mistralton Cave? Some people think it's a place where hard-to-find Pokémon live." "Accumula Gate?" "Accumula Gate is, um, well... Ummm... Does anything make it different from any other gate?" "Undella Gate?" "Undella Gate is a vertical gate. The fact that it's not really different from a horizontal gate is one of the great things about gates!" "Nacrene Gate?" "Nacrene Gate is a very gate-y gate! Unless you're super obsessed with gates, you can't tell the difference, though." "Castelia Gate?" "Castelia Gate, huh? The gap between Castelia City and Route 4 is pretty fun, isn't it?" "Nimbasa Gate?" "The Nimbasa Gates, you say? For some odd reason, I like the one on the right!" "Opelucid Gate?" "Opelucid Gate, really? Er... I seem to remember a man who was always eating something by one of those gates." "Black Gate?" "Black Gate! Pass on through, pass on through to the expansive Black City! So... Yeah... There isn't a ton to say about gates." "White Gate?" "White Gate! Pass on through, pass on through to the expansive White Forest! So... Yeah... There isn't a ton to say about gates." "Bridge Gate?" "A Bridge Gate? All of the gates connected to bridges in the Unova Region are...all...called...Bridge Gates!" "Route Gate?" "Route Gate? Hee hee. There are two gates called Route Gates. The first one is off Route 1, and the other is close to the Desert Resort!" "Abyssal Ruins?" "The Abyssal Ruins! A mysterious, ancient script! And if you solve its secret, please tell me what it is!" "Aspertia City?" "What? You're in Aspertia?! Then you should come home! To your own house!" "Virbank City?" "Virbank City! You went to a music club? Recently, I've been getting into Roxie's band! When I listen to them, I feel so full of energy!" "Humilau City?" "Oh my! You're in Humilau City? That's the nicest of all the resort areas in the Unova region! I was only at the Pokémon Center in that town for a short while." "Pokéstar Studios?" "Pokéstar Studios! What?! You're going to be in a movie? Well, I'll have to go see it! Oh, a little advice--acting is all about being natural!" "Join Avenue?" "You're in Join Avenue? I think the way the stores come and go is romantic, somehow." "Floccesy Town?" "You're in Floccesy Town for a spell? Did you visit Alder's house? A long time ago, Alder taught me about Pokémon! Boy, that takes me back!" "Lentimas Town?" "Lentimas Town is close to Reversal Mountain. It's small, but it has an air of uniqueness that makes it surprisingly popular!" "Route 19?" "Route 19 is right outside of Aspertia. I guess you could say it's a valley road." "Route 20?" "Route 20 is a place where you can enjoy the changing of the seasons. My favorite season is fall! You know, the foliage, the colors... Ah..." "Route 21?" "I guess you could say that Route 21 is very rocky. It's like a maze. You might find it surprisingly hard to make progress!" "Route 22?" "Route 22 is very lush and green. So that could well indicate that you'll find many different Pokémon there." "Route 23?" "Route 23, huh... It's the last great natural area in the Unova region. Apparently, the path is so steep and dangerous that some people go on and on about it." "Castelia Sewers?" "Castelia Sewers. That's just another way to say it's Castelia City's sewer system. I'm sorry I can't help more. I know about it, but I've never been. But, listen! I've heard there's a secret place located at the far end of the sewer!" "Floccesy Ranch?" "The ranch! Apparently, when I was little, I rode a Pokémon and everyone got really mad! But I was just a little kid, and I don't remember that at all!" "Virbank Complex?" "Virbank Complex? What, are you helping someone work? Still, I sure remember how pretty it looked at night!" "Reversal Mountain?" "Reversal Mountain! So many Trainers arrived at the Pokémon Center completely wiped out! Please be careful, OK?" "Strange House?" "The Strange House?! Wow, I know that place! It's a mysterious place close to Reversal Mountain. Know where I mean? Hmm. Maybe there are ghosts there..." "Relic Passage?" "Relic Passage... As the name suggests, it's an underground passage built long ago. If you pass through it, maybe you'll find out who made it and why!" "Clay Tunnel?" "Clay Tunnel, huh? I heard Clay kept on digging no matter what. I wonder what it is about digging that is so captivating to some folks. I heard there is someone who loves digging in the Sinnoh region as well." "White Treehollow?" "The White Treehollow! The so-called Unova's Challenge! How far can you get? With those Pokémon at your side, I'm sure you won't have any trouble!" "Black Tower?" "The Black Tower! The so-called Unova's Challenge! How far can you get? With those Pokémon at your side, I'm sure you won't have any trouble!" "Seaside Cave?" "The Seaside Cave, so, so, so... At some point, waves, wind, and Pokémon made that cave in that giant rock." "Cave of Being?" "The Cave of Being. Ah, yes, I recall it. I wonder what's in there. Apparently, it's a strange place with nothing inside." "Hidden Grotto?" "A Hidden Grotto...? I have no idea what that is! Honestly, I'm not hiding anything!" "Marine Tube?" "Wow, the Marine Tube! It was just finished recently, I think! It's like a walk-through aquarium! I really want to go see it!" "Virbank Gate?" "Virbank Gate, and... Gates are pretty much the same everywhere, wouldn't you say?" "Aspertia Gate?" "Aspertia Gate is really close! What? If you want to rest, you should just come home!" "Nature Preserve?" "The Nature Preserve...? I've heard rumors about it, but... Since it exists to protect rare Pokémon, only certain people are allowed to go there. Really? Have you been granted entry?!" "Medal Office?" "Hee hee hee! So the allure of gaining Medals has you hooked too, huh? You can learn a lot in the Medal Office!" "Underground Ruins?" "What? The Underground Ruins? I've never heard of such a place. Should I go take a peek and see what's going on there?" "Rock Peak Chamber?" "What? Rock Peak Chamber? Never heard of it. Should I go have a look and find out what's up with it?" "Iceberg Chamber" "What? Iceberg Chamber? Not familiar with it. Should I go have a look and see what's going on there?" "Iron Chamber?" "What? Iron Chamber? You got me. No idea. Should I go have a look and check it out?" "Pledge Grove?" "Pledge Grove? Oh. The one in Floccesy Town! The marks on that rock just have to have been made by Pokémon!" There are also a few locations that have responses programmed for them, but which cannot actually be selected because the Xtransceiver is not usable in those locations. Additionally, some of the duplicate locations used in the Entralink and Victory Road in Black and White have different responses programmed than the normally accessible locations. The Cold Storage (Entralink) and Challenger's Cave lack responses entirely. "Route 10?" "Ah, I liked Route 10. There was something lyrical about it..." "Royal Unova?" "The Royal Unova? A cruise ship from Castelia! You're getting pretty fancy! So, which is it going to be? Are you going to have fun battling... or enjoy the sights?" "Battle Subway?" "Battle Subway! You sure like challenges. Keeping a winning streak going is really hard. But the knowledge and experience you gain from battle will make you stronger!" "Entralink?" "Entralink? I don't know about that... Is there a place like that in the Unova region?" "Trial Chamber?" "The Trial Chamber? A Trainer might have told me about it a long time ago. Was it the little room on Victory Road?" "Entree Forest?" "Entree Forest? I'm not familiar with it, I'm afraid. You say there's a place like that in the Unova region?" "Plasma Frigate?" "What? The Plasma Frigate? Never heard of it. Should I go have a look and see what it's like?" "Route 5?" "I used to slip out of the Pokémon Center from time to time to watch the performers on Route 5. Isn't there a girl there who buys items?" "Undella Town?" "Undella Town, Undella Town. A very rich family used to live there, but it looks like everyone moved. Now there are fewer manors there. It's a little sad."

• "Good-bye."

"OK! Take care of yourself!"
