It's been quite some time since I've played a Pokemon game. In fact, I was in elementary or middle school when Red/Blue was all the rage here.
Is there anyway to acquire Pikachu, Squirtle, Charmander, or Bulbasaur in White/Black 2?

No. Pikachu, Squirtle, Charmander and Bulbasaur can only be obtained in Black/White 2 by trade, or special events.
Ways to obtain Pikachu and the Red/Blue starters in BW2 include:
- Time-limited Wi-Fi, Global Link and Dream World events: keep an eye on Bulbanews' events listing. For example, you can currently download the Red/Blue starters if you have a Korean copy of Black/White, or Pikachu if you buy the game on Amazon UK. At time of writing, there are no English language events for these Pokémon.
- Find someone online who will trade you one - quite easy, since Pokémon can be bred. You can't use the GTS for this, though, because you can't request a Pokémon you haven't seen
- Trade from an earlier game using Poké Transfer:
- Professor Oak gives you a Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle in HeartGold or SoulSilver when you defeat Red
- You get a Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle as a starter in FireRed and LeafGreen
- Pikachu can be caught in every main series Pokémon game on the GBA and DS, prior to Black/White
Interestingly, Black and White are the first main series Pokémon games where you can't catch Pikachu - except for Yellow, technically, where you receive one as a starter.
0You can acquire them only via Poké Transfer.
From what I know, it's only possible by Poké Transfer or Wi-Fi trade.
0No you can't get Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle in Black/White 2, but it is possible to get different starters in B/W 2 than just the B/W starters.
However for Pikachu, you can get a Pichu in Black/White, which you can evolve into Pikachu and trade to B/W 2.
10I'm able to get the Kanto/Johto/Hoenn/Sinnoh starters by talking to the clown in Virbank City and in Castelia City (Battle Company 55th floor). We can also get the special starters depending on the season (in-game). I already got Piplip and Charmander during winter.
Yes it is possible I got a level 1 wartortle in the shaking grass in the rain And bulbasaur apears at level 1 quiet often as well .. charmander is the only one I haven't found
1I found out you can get the kanto,jhoto and heon starters in black 2 and white 2 locations are next to Rosie's gym there should be a clown there but it depends on the season also you can find a clown in the battle company and there's a third but I can't remember we're that one is
