I bought Pokemon Black three weeks ago, and now just starting out Victory Road. Is it just me, or are the gym leaders ridiculously easy to beat? I was constantly disappointed with the lack of challenge, the only tougher one being Elesa the Electric-type leader. She completely stumped me with the Volt Switching Emolgas. XD
In fact, just about every trainer, even the rivals, is easy. Granted, I always end up with higher levels than the NPCs, kind of hard to keep it even. I've found myself deliberately avoiding non-important battles just so that the leaders would be tougher to beat, but it didn't change much. And no, I didn't bother getting an Ice-type for Drayden. Didn't even need an Ice-type move and beat him easily. T_T

CURRENT TEAM with nickname explanations

Samurott L.43 (Poseidon)
....okay it was odd when it was an Oshawott, but it's totally badass

Chandelure L.44 (Lucifer)
I love love love the name Lucifer (inside joke xD). I dunno, naming a Ghost-type after the devil seems fitting. It's a girl though hahaha
Also, if you look up the definitions of Lucifer, it seems to be a synonym for match, the kind you light fire with.

Galvantula L.44 (Laika)
Laika = light + ka. Kinda lame.

Whimsicott L. 43 (Kotone)
I'm not the first to notice the resemblance between "Cottonee" and "Kotone" <3

Deino L. 42 (Hydragon - pronounced HYDRA-ghin)
Almost the same as Hydreigon.

Stoutland L. 43 (Dr. Kane)
Dr. Kane = Doctor + Canine lolololol

Things I love about B/W
- N N N N N N N A MILLION TIMES N <3
- Doctors and Nurses. They save so much time
- The lack of HM necessity. Less slavery!
- The hypocrisy of Team Plasma amuses me
- The plot is my favorite one so far.
- Hydreigon is my favorite dragon-type design ever
- TMs given pseudo-HM status = WIN

Things I don't love about B/W
- No Pokemon Center in front of Victory Road. WTF. ;_______; I don't have a flying-type in my team, so if I want to go back to Op-whatever city, I have to walk through the entire Badge Gate Check
- Badge Gate Check is cool the first time 'round, but please let it be skip-able in the 3rd game! takes way too damn long
- I can never remember the city names. Maybe it's just cause it's a new region, but they just don't seem as memorable.
- Rotation battles. I don't see the point. Whenever it happens, I'm all "FFFUUUUUUU THEY GONNA PREDICT MY ROTATION AGAIN"
------edit; Okay I take that back. Rotation battles only suck in-game. Against real people it kicks ass!  

- Because the TMs have been given pseudo-HM status, you can no longer sell the useless ones. baw.

I have become a total N fangirl. If he appears in the anime, I'll watch it, no questions asked. I used to like watching Pokemon every now and then, but ever since the voices changed I couldn't stand it anymore. Ash's voice seems to have improved, but still isn't the same. :< BUT IF THEY PUT N IN THE SHOW AND GIVE HIM A REALLY HOT VOICE I WILL WATCH EVERY DAMN EPISODE WITH HIM IN IT
