Black and White on makes less sense in my opinion because then we wouldn't have a solid way to search out basics. All of that would have to be done with Ultra Ball and Level Ball. This would mean the format would be a lot more luck based, it'd depend on what you draw.

We'd still have a way --- the use of attacks like those on Elgyem, Lapras, and coming out soon Emolga and Shaymin --- but it wouldn't be as powerful. Some decks already benefit from having Pokemon search attacks on their basics, like promo Litwick in Chandelure or Foongus in a status condition deck; that role could potentially become more important, or decks could just shift to be less reliant on full benches. We could also go back to using Pokemon Communication I guess. :)
We also don't know quite what we'll get in the September set; we can look at the Japanese Dragon sets and make an educated guess, but Pokemon could conceivably juggle things around a bit to make a BW-on format more viable if they wanted to. I don't think there's much we can do except wait and see.
