Alright /vp/, I played pokemon Red when it came out and silver after that. Since then I haven't had anything to do with pokemon.
Now, my friend (who are in the same situation as me) suggested we should buy a pokemon each and play together, collect all in that game, fight eachother etc. We've decided on Black & White with me going White.

I know nothing of these pokemon and want some tips for good ones to scout for. I dont want a complete team, but give me a few heads up on good ones to use in a fight.

Thanks in advance
