Ummm... hmm. Well, the first areas are mostly like normal and normal-flying types, from what I remember, but everything's low-level enough that you don't have to worry about type for the wild pokemon. Oh! It's also faster if you get a pokemon big enough you can ride on it. Like Arcanine or Rapidash or something. Once you get the Zephyr Badge, you'll be able to fly if you get a pokemon that knows it, but it's like ten days from New Bark to Violet if you're not riding something.
I know that the breeding center gives out a free egg to new people! If you're not going to Kanto, see if you can get an Electric-type or an Ice-type, because they'll be strong against the first gym. I think I heard you can sometimes find Shinx on one of the early routes, but I never saw one. But if you see one, catch it, because Luxray are really cool-looking.
