The retarded time limit is there so that kids won't be glued to the computer trying to rack up points and hunt for specific Pokemon which is as you said random as hell.

In my opinion, the time limit is so that the already stressed servers don't get clogged even more. Nintendo really needs to update their infrastructure if they intend to reuse the Dream World for Gen VI.

I've been playing Dream World regularly for more than a month, but it's starting to bore me too. For me, I just feel the selection of Pokémon just doesn't warrant that much time spent. I don't even bother going to look for Pokémon anymore. My main focus in Dream World is decorating my home and planting those cash-grabbing berries, which makes it feel a lot like a Facebook game.

If I'm not mistaken, the Friend Limit is 50, and I have about 42. It's not that hard to find friends, and after a while people start looking for you rather than you look for them. Honestly though, I can't think of many "high points" Pokémon that are really worth it for a person to traverse the Dream World just for them.



Now, about Black and White 2, I finished the story and will probably begin training my team to beat the Elite Four. I know some people have problems with the hand-holding, but personally I quite liked it due to a mildly-OCD need of mine to clear out each area as much as I can before I progress to the next.

A few other thoughts:

1. This game really amps the aesthetics of a Pokémon game. I quite liked the airplane trip, the Marine Tube, the new cities, the cutscenes, etc. I also simply love how each Gym is now personalized, with Elesa's Gym being hands-down the most impressive Gym I have seen in all generations. GIVE ME WHAT I NEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!
2. As a whole, I liked the new additions. They flesh out Black and White and I think I can't think of a Unova without them. I spent far more time in the Join Avenue than I should, and I think the Pokémon World Tournament would end up being the main selling point of the game.
3. Love, love, love all the nods given to longtime fans! From appearances of past gym leaders and champions (with updated music!) to making EV-training easier, there's so much for an adult fan to enjoy.
4. I liked that the story was still pretty substantial like Black and White was, but I did feel that it wasn't quite as strong a story as Black and White. It did tie up the loose ends of Black and White nicely, though.
5. The fight with Black/White Kyurem was terribly anti-climatic. Surprisingly easy.

Overall, they weren't the revolutionary games that Black and White were, but Black and White 2 are really good additions that break up the monotony of playing mere remakes. Aside from a few polish issues, I'd say Black and White 2 are my definitive Generation V games.
