I used Snivy too in White. Some parts of the game was hard, but my team made up for it. Overall, Snivy is a good starter especially if you need a Grass type. But, this time I might go Oshawatt or Tepig depending on the Gym Leaders and Elite 4.
That reminds me. Do you think all the Gym Leaders and/or Elite 4 will be new?
