Pokémon Black and White/Nuvema Town

Choosing your Starter
At the beginning of the game, you are in your house with your male rival. You are waiting for your female rival to show up. When she does, both of your rivals urge you to open your birthday present from Professor Aragagi. In the box, you will find three Pokeballs. This is where you choose your starter Pokemon. Choose wisely. Once you choose, your rivals will take the other Pokemon. The male rival will receive the Pokemon with the type advantage to yours, while the female rival will receive the Pokemon with the type disadvantage to yours. After you select your Pokemon, a battle will ensue with your female rival. Beat her, and collect $500. After the battle, your room will be a mess. Nonetheless, your male rival will heal your Pokemon, and then challenge you to a battle. These first two battles aren't much, considering the only attacks the Pokemon know are Tackle and either Leer, or Tail Whip. After your second battle, your male rival will storm out of your room, upset that he lost. Follow him outside.
