Pokemon Black and White: General Discussion and Info: For Real This Time

Just picked up White 2 today. I'm trying to use Pokemon that I've never used before. Snivy is neat. I'm hating Azuril. Riolu is... Interesting. I'm definitely considering dropping Azuril for something else. Any suggestions?
 
For those interested, I found this on Serebii.net:

This is a super basic question, but do captured Pokemon still learn new attacks if they're not active but still gain XP in the battle? For example, I use one Pokemon to begin the match and then switch him out to another one, which kills the enemy. If the first Pokemon gains XP and gains a level, can he still learn an ability or does it have to be the one active in battle?

The reason I ask is because my the Pokemon I started out with is learning new abilities every five levels or so but new ones that I've captured aren't learning anything. One I caught doesn't even have any offensive skills, is that just a worthless Pokemon?

Okay, thanks. If it's not obvious enough, this is my first Pokemon game and I'm actually playing HeartGold.
 
Random question slightly OT: How difficult is it to use the wifi to trade for the starters? Last Pokemon games I played I knew people that had them so we just re-started the game a few times enough to get both of us full starter sets. Never used the wifi trading etc.
 
It depends, especially when most of the offers are for outrageous things like Lv100 Pikachus or something. You'll have to do a little digging to fine a good one, though I haven't Wifi traded in years. My last trade on the connection was for a Japanese Snivy.

Not too difficult for that reigon's starters, but getting another reigon's starters is annoying because you can only search for Pokemon you have seen in-game.
