Pokémon B/W. How's the adventure going so far?

[Omegajak]

I couldn't wait and went with the Euro version. Honestly I'm glad I've stayed clear of every spoiler or mention of names I'm honestly enjoying the fact I know so little about what to do next. All I really understand is what levels my team should be for each gym,

1st gym: Highest lvl. 12-14, Lowest lvl. 9
2nd: Hi lvl 18-20, lowest 14-15
etc, etc.

Also, major bump in road with wifi-battles and local trading. My router and DS are not mixing apparently. The settings don't work but my router, but have always been WPA-2 locked, and use to work before when the pass was enabled. What's the deal now? Am I missing out a big portion of the game with the C-Gear not in constant online status?
