So in short, I own Pokémon white. Now I own White 2. So my little brother is allowed to use my copy of White on his DS system. But when I want to gamesync again, I get the message the device is different from the original device used to sync with and all data will be erased if I continue? All I really want to do is the battle subway and trades togheter over internet. Can I safely connect to the dreamsync or will I lose my Mismagius currently in the dreamworld?

You have to use your own device or you will lose access to the data saved for that device. Your brother may have already messed this up and that is why you are getting the message. From my own experience, upgrading from the DS to the 3DS I lost all my friend contact info, but I do not think I had synced with the Dream World until afterwards, so I am uncertain as to what it would do to your comatose Pokemon.
In general, since there is only one save file and can only have one device registered, you shouldn't share Pokemon games unless the other person is just playing musicals/movie-making/catching Pokemon after you beat the game.

This is a really annoying concept for Dream World. Even something as simple as changing the time can cause sync issues and forces you to wait at least a day before gaining access again. I'm disappointed they did not do anything to fix this in Black 2 or White 2. There are valid reasons to changing your time. My DS Lite doesn't change time for day light savings and that caused my original issue.
Your best bet is to get the card back in the original device and wait for it to sync up again. Once you get it sync'd up take your Pokemon out of sleep and then switch devices. This way you won't lose anything.

Thanks for the replies. Well, since I just had Pokémon White a week before B&W2 came out, I did not have any 'friendcodes' I made some online trades, but honestly I donnot care about losing those records. I was way more concerned about losing my mismagius. Thanks for clarifying guys.
But still, it boggles my mind that after all these years you still are not able to have more than one save file..

The Pokemon game files are HUGE in comparison to other games. Unless they had a system set up to let you save to the DS, then that would not be possible. Really, if Pokemon would make the move to the 3DS, then a system like that could quite possibly be put in place.
