Where can you get Heart Scales? Is there some way you can get unlimited amounts of them?

In Driftveil city, I know that is where you get them... There is the lady in the market square who sells chocolate, talk to her about getting Heart Scales. i think it is a daily thing. Also, right in front of her on the ground is a free Heart Scale! :D
Here are some other places, info via Serebii;
Route 13, Route 13, Route 17 (With Dowsing Machine), Route 17 (With Dowsing Machine), Route 18, Route 18 (With Dowsing Machine), Desert Resort, Driftveil City, Cold Storage, Dragonspiral Tower (With Dowsing Machine), Undella Bay (With Dowsing Machine)

You can get them from the Black-White Pickup ability at higher levels (of Pokemon with Pickup). My Pachirisu is Lv91 and gets them often enough.

Is there anywhere that you can get an Everstone from just on the ground or something? I'm looking for one for like, breeding and stuff.

Don't know about them in item balls, but I have gotten Everstone from a dust cloud.

Which types are recommended for a beginning team?

I'm (hopefully) getting Pokemon Black today (if Amazon's delivery service is nice to me), and I'm curious as to which types will give the advantage throughout the first few gyms =] suggestions?

Usually I train just one or two Pokemon, but I read somewhere that the new versions are a lot harder than the previous ones =/

Alright. Well first gym will have, no matter what, Pokemon that have the type advantage on your starter. However, by going to the Dreamyard, you can get on of the Pans which can help with the gym.

Next, biggest thing I can tell you is to farm Audinos if you feel you need to. Simply run beside patches of grass, and then run to the patches that will eventually shake. You can get a TON of easy exp this way.

Thanks for the tip!

What do you mean by the first gym always having the type advantage? Isn't there usually one starter which has the advantage? :O

Check Bulbapedia or Seerebi, they list all the Gym leaders and their Pokémon.

The first gym has three leaders that will switch depending on your starter. They will always have one Pokémon with a type advantage over your starter. Fortunately, you get a gift Pokémon that will have type advantage over the one the Gym leader is using.

B&W offer quite the variety of types from the early game on so you can get pretty much anything. The games are a bit different than the others so I would just start playing without worrying too much and just get whatever Pokémon you like the look of ^^

1.Cilan, Chili, or Cress focus on Grass, Fire, or Water type Pokémon depending on which starter you pick determines what type you will fight..

Exp. your Starter Fire > You will battle Cress (water)
your Starter Water > You will battle Cilan (grass)
your Starter Grass > You will battle Chili (fire)

Their Pokémon's levels are in the 12-14 range.

2.Lenora focuses on Normal type Pokémon.

So all i you need is to be training a Fighting Pokemon.. like I trained Sawk and Her Pokémon's levels are in the 18-20 range.

3.Burgh focuses on Bug type Pokémon.

So Fire Starter! would benefit here! His Pokémon's levels are in the 21-23 range.

ban_elesa.png

4.Elesa focuses on Electric type Pokémon.

So Rock/Ground I used Gigalith and Her Pokémon's levels are in the 25-27 range.

5.Clay focuses on Ground type Pokémon.

So Grass /Water Starter would benefit here! His Pokémon's levels are in the 29-31 range.

6.Skyla focuses on Flying type Pokémon.

So for this gym any Electric/Rock/Ice pokemon you have trained will be able to soar through this gym i used Zebstrika which evolved at lvl 27. So again Her Pokémon's levels are in the 33-35 range.

7.Brycen focuses on Ice type Pokémon.

So Fire Starter would be good! His Pokémon's levels are in the 37-39 range.

8.Drayden or Iris focuses on Dragon type Pokémon.

I must be missing something or the game just doesn't like me. How do you access Abyssal Ruins from Undella Bay? I've used Dive in all the dark spots on the water but I'm never able to move after doing so. The game just forces me back up the water after 10 seconds. Is it a specific Dive spot? If so where is it?

I've surfed around and dived in every spot already >_>.

Gym leaders ain't the problem with this game. I would keep a team of six at all times to be safe.

Yes. Route 13, a guy that gives you one random item everyday. It's random so you'll have to rely on luck =(.
