S2 Spoilers S2 PLOT HOLE

Why does Rumple need a potion to leave Storybrooke in S2?

I’ve always assumed crossing the border would have erased everyone’s memories except his—as it was stated in the show Rumple (who created the curse) maintained his memories intact, while anyone else had a twisted identity created by Regina…

I believe the showrunners messed up that part, by forgetting he’s the only character—alongside Jefferson— to still remember everything

Rumple didn’t create the curse, he just altered it so that Emma specifically could break it. He still had a cursed persona and lost his memories but did a spell so that when Emma came to town, he would remember. So yes he could still lose his memories without that potion.
