you mean squirtle? yeah that line didn't really have much going for it, barring Rapid Spin, which wasn't really that useful in single-player. I used it once in firered, but I never liked it as much as charmander/bulbasaur, who each did their own thing really well as opposed to the turtle, who was more of a generalist.

Yeah, BW's variety starts opening up just before the second gym, and the stretch from there to the electric gym leader is pretty much almost all the best mons in the game. Elesa totally rinsed me in BW when I faced her though. Emolga, barring a Drilbur to null electric and use rock, is a real pain to fight.

I love usum. one of my favorite games in the series. however, lusamine is terrible and one of the worst villains in the series there. half of her dialogue is blatant unchanged leftovers from sm and it just doesnt work with the new plotline.
