-== Starting Out ==
+Before actually starting the walkthrough, I will explain the key to my walkthrough.
-[[File:BW Juniper Intro.png|thumb|right|Professor Juniper and her Minccino introduce you to the world of Pokémon]]
-After selecting ''New Game'' you are asked to choose your character's gender.  This cannot be changed after selecting.  The resident researcher of the [[Unova]] region, [[Professor Juniper]], appears and introduces new Trainers to the Pokémon world.  Her lecture is important for new players, though it's nothing new to veterans of the series.  She also introduces the player's best friends, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]].  Once she is done talking, you are asked to enter your character's name.  The name cannot be changed, so double-check that you have what you want.  '''It should be noted that this the first game with no default names to select from.'''  Press ''OK''  and your sprite will shrink to the overworld sprite.
+After the encounter tables, I have put reviews of Pokémon. '''I have personally used all of them, and what I say in this walkthrough about the Pokémon is based entirely on my own experiences'''.

+Once you select <nowiki>''New Game''</nowiki>, [[Unova]]'s regional [[Professor Juniper|researcher]], Juniper, introduces you to the World of Pokémon. She sends out her {{p|Minccino}} to demonstrate what a Pokémon is, and then asks you your gender. Choose carefully, for you will not be able to change your gender once you start playing the game.
+Then you are asked your name, and introduced to two of your friends: [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]]. They will serve as your rivals in the game.
+Your sprite shrinks into the overworld sprite, and you see a cutscene of Juniper going into your house.

-You find yourself with [[Cheren]] in your bedroom, waiting for [[Bianca]] to show up.  {{prof|Juniper}} believes that the three of you have potential, and has delivered a gift box of three important Pokémon.  Bianca arrives shortly, and the two let you open the box and have your choice of Pokémon.  Which starter Pokémon will you choose?

+Snivy is the Grass-type starter and perhaps has a quite odd distribution of stats. Its primary focus is towards Speed, while it also has good Defense and Sp. Def. Sadly, it does not have good HP to back it up. As for its Attack stats...well, to say the least, they are quite low, and not quite fit for attacking.
+As far as moves go, it learns {{m|Vine Whip}} at level 7, {{m|Leaf Tornado}} at level 16, and then some other moves after evolving into {{p|Servine}} at level 17. At level 32, it learns the move {{m|Leaf Blade}}, but unfortunately that also does not do much damage even after evolving into {[p|Serperior}} at level 36.
+Snivy and its kin focus more on defense, so you can utilize this tactic of theirs by using Leech Seed, Mega Drain and Giga Drain to keep your HP constantly high, as well as using stat upping moves like Growth and Coil to give you an edge. Light Screen and Reflect, which can be obtained fairly early on, can help benefit your team as well as increase Snivy and its evolutions' survivability. Return is also a recommended move, since there isn't a whole lot available to the green snake line.

-* The {{type2|Grass}} {{p|Snivy}} has the most weaknesses out of the three starters, with five- {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, {{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Flying}}-, and {{type2|Ice}}s (although it and its evolutions make up for this with their superior [[Defence]][[Special Defence|s]]). Its Grass attacks are strong against {{t|Rock}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, and {{type2|Water}}s. Snivy is suitable if you are an expert.
-* The {{type2|Fire}} {{p|Tepig}} is great when battling {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Bug}}-. {{t|Ice}}- and {{type2|Steel}}s, but has trouble when facing {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, and {{type2|Rock}}s.  Tepig is unique amongst the Unova starters due to it gaining a secondary type as it grows, while Snivy and Oshawott do not. The type, {{t|Fighting}}, adds two weaknesses in {{t|Psychic}} and {{t|Flying}}, but elimanates the Rock-type weakness. With their ability to learn Fighting moves (albeit {{m|Arm Thrust|only}} {{m|Hammer Arm|two}} naturally) as well as Fire attacks, Tepig's evolutions have the most type advantages of the starter evolutions- with the added edge against {{t|Normal}}- {{t|Dark}}- and {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon. Tepig is the best to play with if you are a beginner.
-* The {{type2|Water}} {{p|Oshawott}}'s Water attacks have an advantage when facing {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and {{type2|Ground}}s, but may struggle with {{t|Grass}}- and {{type2|Electric}}s. With only two disadvantages even in its final form, Oshawott is arguably the safest choice of the three starters. Oshawott and its evolutions provide an intermediate player a good game.
