Standard walkthroughs for Black 2/White 2 are useless after the first hour because:
Always search for "Hoenn White 2 Gym Leader rosters" or "Hoenn White 2 item locations."
All gym leaders are now Hoenn’s original 8, with type specialties intact, but their teams are upgraded to Gen 5 movepools and items.
