I kinda like the look of the Tepig, and I've never had a Fire Starter before. I've used Water in Silver, Diamond and HeartGold (and Electric in Yellow but I didn't have a choice )

I'm thinking Tepig also. I've used Fire in every generation since the wonderful Cyndaquil, as the Water and Grass starters have ever appealed to me except my favourite ever Pokemon ever, Bulbasaur.

Still undecided as to getting Black or White. What is the actual release date? I keep hearing the 10th but then a guy at Gametraders told me the 15th.

EDIT: Getting Black. It has Houndour/Houndoom.

And with that it is decided, Black for me also. I love that Firedog, even if he is only truly awesome in game for HG/SS. Too bad I cannot trade a pup from my SS Houndoom straight over to be my fire pokemon for Black...

And fair enough on the trade option Paulbot, my missus has a DS, so I never really appreciate how easy I have it to be able to trade between my games. Gyrados should be a good pokemon to have Ice Fang on, with his huge attack stat, having it at a comparable level to the gym, and lots of healing items should be enough to scrape through. If you have a decent levelled monster (ie strong enough to last a hit or two) who can learn Toxic, bring them along, and use them against anything not called Dragonair.
I had a really weak team in HG as I switched out all my early pokemon who had levelled well to see how an all water (with secondary typings) team would fare just before the rocket hideout, and found thunder wave and toxic to be my best friends.
