Oh yeah, Emboar (lvl36) looks awesome!

I don't thin you ever really got more than 4-6 choices before the first gym, the first gym was always your starter and 1-2 strong normal/flying types.

Just checked Serebii's pokeEarth pages, and this is the info I ascertained...

R/B/Y: Rattata, Pidgey, Nidoran's, Mankey, Caterpie/Weedle
HG/SS: Rattata, Sentret, Pidgey, Spearow, Hoothoot ,Caterpie/Weedle, Ledyba/Spinarak
R/S/E: Poochyena, Zigzagoon, Wurmple, Seedot/Lotad, Ralts, Wingull, Taillow
D/P/Plat: Bidoof, Starly, shinx, Kricketot, Abra

There was also Geodude before the first gym in GSC.

But as you can see, there was a lot more variety in both numbers and elements. In bw you get 3 normals, a dark, your starter and one of the monkeys. 6 and 3 are the same type.
Previously you had 6-8 types available to you (inc starter), now it's down to 4

Now that you guys have mentioned it, I too noticed the slim difference between types early on, hell, usually there are Bug types within the first few steps, not the case in Black anyway.

Woohoo!
Just entered the Celestial Tower on Route 7 - Time to find me a Ghost Pokemon!

Did you catch a Yamask at Relic Castle?

[Autocon]

so is there a story? does it follow on from other games?

If he's the little bloke that floats, has a Golden Face/Mask and a Black Spirit with Fists popping out the back? - Then yes.
I just had to go back, as part of the story, and managed to catch one of the newest and coolest Pokemon ever!!!
(Hint: It may be Egyptian-esque )

so is there a story? does it follow on from other games?

I guess it sort of does, it doesn't really make mention of any of the previous games but then it's not like it pretends that they never occurred either - It's a loose continuity of sorts.

I'm a lover of turtles...
I told myself I wouldn't spoil the game by looking at serebii.

Fossil time comes around.
I picked the wrong fossil, now I have bloody Zazu instead of a turtle.
Shattered.

Also, if anybody wants to help me out I have a gurdur that needs evolving (via trade...)

I wont tell you which one I chose then...

If I had access to a WAP that used WEP then I'd be happy to help mate - Unfortunately my WAP is utilising WPA-PSK2.
I hate that Nintendo has no intention of putting out a firmware upgrade for any of the DSs to use modern, safer and better security protocols!
