Do you need to have a physical copy of Pokemon White 1 to link it to White 2?

Question

I had Pokemon White but I lost it somehow. I was wondering if I still needed it to link it to Pokemon White 2 and get story related things.

Answer 1

No, you can play Pokemon White 2 without Pokemon White, as any other game of the series.

The game takes place two years after the events of Pokémon Black and White, it's just a sequel.
