Expanding slightly on the time concept introduced way back in Pokemon, this new feature of changing seasons has been implemented in B/W. Thus far i've seen Autumn, Winter and Spring and it's not that bad an addition. It's one of those subtle features that amuses you for a few minutes when it does change so you go around checking all the locations.
So far Winter was the most drastic, icing Iccirus City and Twist Mountain in snow and that was fairly interesting. All the other ones seem like they have tiny variations. So it's definitely not a bad feature but I think they could have worked on it some more.
Gives them an excuse to have certain Pokemon appearing during different seasons (Like Cubchoo being more common in Winter etc)

I quite like Seasons. Well, put it this way: I don't have any problem with it. It was fun enough but during my initial playthrough, Iccirus City was in ice so getting all the items along that route was impossible - I SPENT 4 HOURS TRYING TO GET TO IT ONLY TO GIVE UP AND CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP!

Ouch, that's bit of a bugger. Did you check in on the house near the south of Iccirus City? There's a little easter egg there which I found amusing and sort of links up Johto with Unova. Hm, I wonder if Summer will be drastically different. The other thing is, I hope in the next generation they'll keep it included but really expand. It has a lot of potential but they just sort of changed the colour of some trees and called it a day. I guess they'd have to include it too for poor old Deerling. That or they'll do a cop out and give it a transformation stone like Deoxys or something.

That's what I thought - hence I don't really have much of an opinion on it. I'm looking forward to seeing it expanded in Gen VI or the R/S Remakes. Deerling was one of the first pokémon I liked when they were all released but I didn't like its evolution so I left it.
I didn't check out that house (I think) I'll get my DS later and check it out.

It's a pretty cool easter egg of sorts. In a way it sort of gives credence to the theory as to why there are other regional Pokemon in Unova's wild after the post game.

What was it? I'm curious but not leaving this desk until I have done another Biology paper so can you please tell me?

Well basically, the man who is living inside this house to the south of Iccirus states he came from a far away land and was a member of Team Rocket. Not only that but his speech syntax is out of loop (Similar to that guy who pinched the generator in G/S?) Either way, he also alludes to the fact he released a lot of the Pokemon he bought over with him. Implying that all these wild Kanto/Johto/Hoenn Pokemon are actually in the wild because of him. I'll see if I can find his conversation somewhere.

I saw him! Though I spoke to him before the Elite 4 and all he said was that he used to a member of Team Rocket but gave up his life of crime to have a wife and child. I take it his dialogue changes after beating the Elite 4?

It might well do. I could've sworn he said something about his wife telling him to release the Pokemon he was holding onto. I don't know, you hear something on the net and after a while it gradually becomes ingrained as part of the truth, haha.

Well then he probably ends up saying that after all the pokémon are released. In that case, Joey, TELL ME YOU LOVE OVER AND OVER!
