Well- Breeding has had a big addition added into BW2 as to the way Nature and Abilities go.
I for one like the new additions/changes to the breeding scene, as breeding can be a timely but rewarding factor when building a battle worthy Pokemon.

Gone are the slave-labor task of having to breed so many times to just get the right nature. And the change in the percentage of getting the ability you want are now an 80% chance of getting the correct ability!

(I know what it is like to breed for a good amount of time, just to get the right nature with the right IV's, yet to only not get the ability I want)

Egg hatching time is also now reduced, using the join feature.

Time to breed like crazy!

What do you guys think? An improvement on the task of breeding?

Breeding is so tedious, but Game Freak seems to also know that such a complex process is the only way to really allow you to customize your Pokemon to the fullest.

Love these changes. Getting the Incubator(s) seems like it'll be a pain, I haven't heard a whole lot about join - but if you were to get it, the ability to "instantly" hatch most eggs would be so worth it.

It's too bad that using Ditto nullifies their Ability changes though.
 
I am curious to know if we are still able to use Orbs to speed up hatch time and combine it with incubaters.

I am glad for one thing about bike hatching is at least in BW, you can go onto the bridge and collect feathers. Sure, it does at a minute amount of aditional time, but when you have 4 eggs in your party (one high level "fly" Pokemon and Magby to cut the hatch time)- you end up with a great amount of feathers in no time. On average, I get 32 feathers in a minute's time, but you only get that many if you ride in a 1 square frame like down at the end next to the door and the boy (where the girl disapears)--
but it comes in handy to not have to EV train when you could:

hatch
vitamins
use feathers
slap on the lucky egg
and your good to go take your ev'd level 1 Pokemon and go level it up.
 
I read about these too and I'm really happy to hear it! I am definitely going to Masuda Method some competitive shinies when I get this. Though I'd also need the Shining Charm to help with it.
