Can you trade from Gen 4 to Black 2?

Yes, you can transfer Pokémon from Generation 4 (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver) to Pokémon Black 2 using the Poké Transfer Lab, but it's a one-way migration using two DS systems and a special minigame, not a direct trade, and requires finishing the main story in Black 2 first. You'll need a Gen 4 game and a Gen 5 game (Black 2) on separate DS/3DS consoles, access the lab on Route 15 in Black 2 after beating the Elite Four, and use DS Download Play to catch Pokémon in a minigame to move them over.
