Pokémon Black and White versions

Aaken can't learn fly. WHAT THE FACK? WHY THE HELL NOT?!

I think it has to do with the fact that it's still young or something. By the time you start to use Fly it should be at a high enough level to nearly evolve(37), so just dump a Rare Candy or 2 on it and you're fine.

Why do so many of the early game Pokémon have to become extremely useless later on?! Just about anything you can catch before the first gym is completely worthless by the time you get to the sixth (except for Zeburaika, but it's better to replace it with a Bachura right before the gym). The only reason I use Baokkii is because I spent a lot of time training it, but that's it really(I'm going to use a similar team on my "real" playtrough, getting Hihidaruma instead then).

Also, I advise everyone that is playing/is going to play to go back to Route 1 after you get Surf. You find the TM for Thunderbolt there, along with lots and lots of trainers and other items. There also are higher level wild Pokémon there.
