What website would you suggest I buy the Japanese B&W2? I don't remember the site I used when B&W came out.

Also: How closely tied are B&W and B&W2? I bought Black in Japanese and White in English. Have people gotten to the point where they can recommend me getting White 2 to match up with the Reshiram I have in my Japanese Black?
