If it's true that a Pokemon's name will stay in their native language upon evolution, I actually really like that. It helps to give that Pokemon a sense of history. Like, that Braviary of yours isn't just any Braviary. It came from a whole dang other country that speaks a different language, and that's cool.
To each their own. I definitely prefer the way it was handled in Gen 5, I like having all Pokémon names in the same language as the game I am playing.
It did. The event was full coded in Gen IV so it was easy to just hack the Azure Flute into your inventory with something like an Action Replay DS/DSi, so you can easily find videos of the unused event online.
Yeah, I watched a video to confirm this... despite doing the Azure Flute event in my D/P/P games last year, I couldn't remember if it used that sound. But it did.

How did I do the Azure Flute event though? As Nokocchi posted, you can use an Action Replay, but it isn't the only way. I used the Wi-Fi exploit instead, which is a bit more "legit" (though not really, but it does at least not require a cheating device). So let's talk about that. I have wanted to post about this somewhere here on the forums for a very long time but I never did so in the past because I wasn't sure if it would be allowed, but now I don't care anymore.
Using the Wi-Fi exploit to
Inject
Wondercards into my Gen 4-5 games was a lot of fun. It allowed me to get events I missed out on in the past, or to get some that were never officially released at all. I got the Member Card and Oak's Letter in D/P, which allowed me to catch Darkrai/Shaymin and unlock Newmoon Island/Flower Paradise, making the Sinnoh map finally feel complete. Getting the Azure Flute on all Sinnoh games was great too, letting me catch Arceus long before doing it again in Legends. I am also happy that I was finally able to get all Wondercards on my second copy of Platinum, allowing me to get everything there. And since I decided to RNG abuse most of the Pokémon I got, getting the events on my second Platinum allowed me to get a shiny Darkrai,
Shaymin and Arceus with good Natures and Flawless IVs, and with my own OT/ID! Which is really cool.
I could also get the Engima Stone on HeartGold (had already gotten it on SoulSilver in the past), allowing me to catch Latios there. Getting an Arceus from the Hall of Origin in D/P/P and then trading it to HG/SS also allowed me to do the Sinjoh Ruins event a second time, thus letting me get a second member of the Creation Trio in HG/SS, which was really cool. There were also many other neat events like a shiny Milotic and at least one event for every mythical Pokémon that existed in Gen 4, though those were obtained directly and not through an in-game event which required an item. But that's still okay for me.
Gen 5 didn't have quite as many events as Gen 4, but there were still some I was very happy about finally getting. Notably the Liberty Ticket, which I had previously gotten on Black but not on White as I didn't get White until the distribution for it was over. But now I finally got to catch Victini on White as well! I also got Meloetta on all my Gen 5 games as well as Genesect on White 2, which I had missed out on (like with the Liberty Ticket on White, I didn't get White 2 until after the Genesect event was over). There were some other cool events too like a Mewtwo and shiny versions of the Creation Trio.
Overall, it was really fun and it is something that kept my interest in Pokémon alive during last year. This really left me... In Wonder. Can highly recommend it for anyone who hasn't done it... if you can get it to work. And if it still works. I can't post links but everything can be found on the internet if you just search a little. Or just send me a PM.
One more minor thing, completely unrelated to the above. In the Unova games, there's a Hiker on Route 7 who wants to trade. In B/W, he gives you an Emolga if you give him a Boldore. In B2/W2, he now gives you a Gigalith if you give him an Emolga. I think that was really sweet and it is one of the many minor things B2/W2 did that captured the "sequel" feeling incredibly well.
