pokemon White Log: Day two

So I've just finished my second day on pokemon white and I'm just over 20 hours in.

Continuing from where I left off yesterday I caught some new pokemon and used them to beat the second gym. Gamefreak has decided to make poekmon locations more coveniant, before it would be that the pokemon near the gym would be the same type as the gym, now the rule is that the pokemon near the gym are the pokemon that match the gyms weakness so there were many fighting type pokemon near the normal Gym. I caught a Throh (a fighting pokemon that does judo) and without training it at all used it to completely walk over the gym.
After getting the basic badge I ran into team plasma again who have stolen a fossil from the musieum so it is up to me to get it back. I headed into the woods which was full of grass and bug pokemon (the same type as the next gym) and I was able to get the skull back. With that done I headed out of the forest and came to that bridge and city that everyone was making a big fuss about when the game was announced last year. So I run across this bridge (it takes like a minute to get across) and I got to the big city and saw the fancy spinning roads with my own two eyes, it was all very pretty. After sight seeing and beating up some break dancers I found myself fighting team Plasma again after they stole a pokemon from one of my in game rivals iwht that out of the way I challanged the bug gym thinking I could walk over it with my bird, I was wrong. I keep an unwriten rule with gyms and it is that you should get through it in one go because of this and the fact that I never bother buying items I ended up getting my ared kicked by the gym leader twice. After that I thought sod this and I went back to the woods to level grind, this meant crossing the bridge again.Turns out my bird pokemon was a level away from evolving so I just headed straight back to the gym and took the badge that was rightfully mine.
Since then I have moved onto route 4 where I have fought both of my rivals again and as always they stood no chance. I should have gone route 4 before facing the bug gym because you can get fire pokemon here. I suppose it doesn't matter now. Anyway more level grinding, hopefully the pace of the game will start to quicken.

So after 10 hours of play: I have seen 36 pokemon and have obtained 23 of them. My party has had a few changes:
Panpour (FRO) Lv.20 - I'm still using this pokemon, it is useable but it isn't a game changer so unless it evolves or something I will replace it when a better water type shows up.
Tranquill LV.25 - My Pidove evolved and now it is an almost unstoppable force with a great movestead, it already knows Roost and Detect.
Roggenrola (The Rock) Lv.19 - I'm still sticking with this little one, not a very good attacker but it's type is useful, hopefully it will evolve to become a tank.
Herdier (Road Dogg) Lv.20 - He is still very handy and I can't see him going anywhere.
Servine (Stone Cold) Lv.24 - Snivy evoloved and now it only knows grass moves. I hope to god there is a water, rock or ground gym later on because it will destroy it.
Throh Lv.22 - Awesome fighting Pokemon who can take a lot of hits and at the same time deliver a lot of damage, I love it.

These daily updates will probably get shorter over time now that my initial reaction to the game has died down but I am still interested in what else the game may have to show me.
