Aight, let's talk about our exploits in the land of Unova or whatever they call it now. I am assuming two or three people here other than me own the game, so hopefully this won't be done on my lonesome.Don't spoil the amazing plot? This gen's Team Rocket seems a bit less stereotypical.

My current party is:
Tepig (fire pig)
Drilbur (crazy awesome mole)
Audino (the new Chansey)
Purrloin (klepto cat)
Pansage (grass monkey)
Munna (eats dreams --> poops out fairy dust)
You enter the game and have your Pokemon chosen and are battling with rivals (you have 3 now) not more than a minute later. Haven't had to pick any acorns or berries or listen to little boys over the phone about how amazing their rattata is. Out of the starting town not long after. It really seems like they're trying to cut the fat out. Or at least, it'd be nice if they kept doing it.
Got the first gym badge recently. The battle isn't too hard, but I like how they're trying to make things interesting by switching the leader up depending on what you chose for your starter. Back in Red/Blue/Yellow where being a fire typed screwed you over at the first gym (since rock > fire but grass > rock somehow).
Random battles seem a little harder and more time consuming. That isn't a bad thing. Turned off battle animations immediately though. I can't wait around through Knights of Round like I used to.
Went through the first cave and had to deal with this gen's zubat. I think it even uses Confusion. Godddddddd. Currently in the second (third? fourth) town called Nacrene City. I am assuming this is where you get the second gym badge.
