Pokemon Black and White: Part 1

So I finally got a hand on Pokemon White, and decided to cover the game based on my journey.

Started the journey, picked Mijumaru  as starter. Won both battles against Belle and Cheren. Went on the journey, got past the tutorials as usual.
Captured a Minezumi, which is intended to be a HM slave, and a Yoterii.
Arrived in Sanyou City, and got Boappu in Abandoned Lot of Dreams.
Continued on to the first gym battle in Sanyou City. Because Mijumaru was the one I picked, I faced off against Dento. A bit difficult if you are underleveled. The gym leader uses a Yoterii and a monkey which is weak to yours.

Tier Changes to Expect

These are some tier changes to expect:

1. Blaziken has a high change of replacing Infernape as the OU fire/fighting starter because of the Speed Boost ability that it gained through the Dream World, as Infernape's biggest and only advantage when compared with Blaziken is its speed. Meanwhile Infernape itself only gain Iron Fist (powers up "Punch" moves) as the new ability.

2. Politoed and Ninetales going up in tier, most probably OU. The drought and drizzle is pretty good for a non-legendary pokemon. Expect combos such as drizzle Politoed + swift swim Kingdra to tear through the enemy team.

3. Poison Heal Gliscor to reign in OU for stall teams.
