Hey /vp/. Haven't played any pokemon game since HG/SS years ago and thought of playing the DS ones since i can emulate them from the phone pretty easily.

Tried White a year ago and remember getting bored about 2-3 hours in. Tried Black 2 a few days ago and i seem to be enjoying it a little more to continue. The story seems to be about some team rocket clone, but honestly, i don't expect good plot from a pokemon game anyway.

Picked Oshawott as starter and caught myself some monsters (most are from early gens because that's what i'm mostly fond of) like growlithe, magnemite, and psyduck.

They any good here? Not sure which of all these new pokemon are worth any shit training, so i'm not sure what else to catch.

Just got past 2nd gym (roxie)?

I could use recommendations, but if that's not allowed here, just talk about the game in general, if there are things i should know or watch out for. Thanks.
