Just used my Liberty Pass and went over to the island and caught an adamant Victini. Very pleased! :)

Now i'm just leveling up my team, and seeing what else I find.

Diary Entry No.1

I got White today and manage to speed through to the 1st gym. I'm quite underpowered, so I will do some more grinding tonight and tomorrow morning. The new XP system is much better but I am missing all the old Pokemon a bit.

I'm heading to Nacrene city right now. My team is a bit messy atm:

Oshawott Lv 15
Lillipup Lv 13
Pansear Lv 13
Munna Lv 13
Pidove Lv 8
Audino Lv 8

The last two are really only tagging along though, I haven't used them much at all.

Oshawott is probably the only pokemon there that I'll have long term. Lillipup....maybe I'll wait and see. However the rest have no hope. (Sorry Munna as soon as Solosis comes knocking you're outta here!)

Something really weird has happened to me though, The majority of the pokemon I've caught so far are Lax natured. (Munna, Pidove, Audino) My team is full of lazy bums! Even my Starter Oshawott is "Lax"! O_o

Well, today has been quite busy, I guess.
Since my last Update, I've gotten to the second gym.

Not going to lie, the first gym gave me a few issues, Considering my team only consisted of my Smugleaf and Purrloin.

I've since caught a Tympole, and reached Castelia City.
Lenora wasn't so much hard as she was annoying. Watchogs have been getting the better of me so far.

Upon reaching Castelia City, I took the Liberty Pass I downloaded and headed to Liberty Garden, to catch a Victini, which I added to my team.

So my team currently consists of:-
Smugleaf (Servine) - Lv22
Sheva (Liepard) - Lv22
Jizz (Tympole) - Lv21
Vendetta (Victini) - Lv15

I'll have to train Victini some before I face the third gym.

Currently training to battle the 4th Gym Leader, and I was unsure wheather to keep Purrlion, but once she evolved to Liepard she gets much tougher and stronger.. anyway my team is currently

Bliztle (F) - Level 24
Mushrana (F) - Level 25
Pignite (M) - Level 24
Liepard (F) - Level 24

I plan the last 2 spots to goto Vanilluxe & Swanna :)

Just defeated Lenora, she wasn't too difficult to beat. I had a Timburr which helped so much. I was worried when I caught Timburr at first it wasn't making much of an impact in battles...but after leveling it up a bit it really came into it's own after learning wake up slap.

It's funny others seem to stress out about the normal type gyms but they don't usually bother me a whole lot.

I did get beaten by N outside Nacrene Gym the first time though, I wasn't really expecting it.

Current team:

Dewott (M) Lv 20
Timburr (F) Lv 21
Herdier (M) Lv 17

Herdier is a bit behind because I'm not sure whether I want to keep him around long term...

Also, Audino is a godsend. All that lovely exp just waiting to be taken. :3

I've just played for hours, so I feel slightly dazed now as I'm coming back to reality.

I've completed five badges, about to enter Chargestone Cave.

Team is around level 29/30/31, composed of:

Diary Entry No.2

Got through the Second gym quite luckily because of a string of misses and critical hits. Now at liberty tower garden ready to capture Victini.

Eon Lv. 21

Musculur Lv. 23

Leer
Wake-Up Slap
Rock Throw

Blitzle Lv. 11

Quick Attack
Tail Whip
Charge

I don't have the motivation to train Blitzle, so she will be replaced with another Electric-type later on. Same with derp (which I have already gotten rid of), so I need 3 more Pokemon now to fill in my team, not including Victini which I am guaranteed to obtain.

As a long-time player of the pokemon games, I have to say that before Black and White, I have become more and more disenchanted by the newer pokemon games. The second generation was probably my favourite out of them all prior to generation 5. I found generation 3 bearable but nothing fancy, and generation 4 to be a real disappointment. It never grew on me, despite others convincing me that it would eventually! It was the only generation that I never actually got as far as completing the pokemon league on, because I just got bored too quickly.

Now, I have just received White in the mail and I must say... I'm pleasantly surprised. It does feel like a fresh start and has a very different style from the older games. The graphics and artwork definitely shows more effort than generation 4, as well as the storyline. The characters seem to have a lot more depth too. I remember in generation 4, I could never remember who was who or what the names of towns and cities were simply because I didn't feel like they had enough feeling behind them to really stay in my memory. It didn't interest me. However, they're really improved on that in Black and White. By the way, I love the map artwork!

I decided to choose the oshawott and named it Ottah, level 8. I have also captured a male lillipup called Scotty (now level 6) and a female patrat called Patty (level 5). I doubt these will be my final team members but I'm working with them for now, and they certainly seem far more appealing than generation 4's early route pokemon.

So far I'm exploring Accumula Town, after having just seen Team Plasma. Will update with progress later.

Just started, currently trying to catch as many pokemon as possible on route 1. The games seems okay, but i was probably bothered by the stinking hot train i was starting to play the game on.

So... well it gets from good to better.

AI is improved - other trainers are harder to beat than in previous games for their levels. Downside being that if you're not very strategic (like myself) you need to grind quite a bit more. There are more frequent updates of the storyline, it's not as much running around just grinding and battling. I like how when pokemon fall asleep now their eyes shut!

So, I beat the first gym leader - much harder than I'd thought it would be - and I'm now in Route 3. Now I'm starting to split my pokemon up between party pokemon and pokemon that I'm not particularly going to use.

Using:

Oshawott - Ottah lvl 15 M - WATER
Lillipup - Scotty lvl 12 M - NORMAL
Blitzle - Zeb lvl 8 - ELECTRIC

Agreed that the AI has improved! Battling random trainers is a bit trickier and I love it :)

Started the game like 2-3 hours ago, and just about to face the first gym leader with Oshawott, Lillipup & Pansear (who I might drop after due to him being so hard to train).

Just beat Cheren and got HM03. Now to go to Mistralton Cave to catch myself an Axew. Hopefully Driftveil's music won't distract me again.

My current team:

Unfezant (M) Lv 39
Panpour (M) Lv 38
Emboar (M) Lv 40
Zoroark (F) Lv 40
Pansage (M) Lv 12

I think i'm starting to see why some people like N so much.
