Ah nice, well I took your advice and chose a Charmander, I think I'll stick to him until I get to the Pokémon Center just before Mt. Moon, then I'll buy the ridiculously priced Magikarp and get it to evolve into Gyarados ASAP. Not really planned anything after that but I reckon I'll probably catch an Abra because I like the look of Alakasm. On the other hand, I was gonna' go for all dragon pokémon in my top 6 but I think that'd take more patience then I have :P
Remind me, is Pokémon tower the one with Gastly and Cubone etc? Slow down a bit haha and I'll try catch up. Also, are you gonna get Black or White when they come out? I wasn't going to but knowing I can chat about it with other people on here is kind of making me reconsider.
