Not all physical moves are contact moves. Earthquake, Stone Edge, Rock Slide, and probably a few others, will never activate contact abilities such as Static, Effect Spore, or Cute Charm.

I didn't know that. So we have another group of attacks?
Lack of info hurts... a LOT!
Aaand yet Grass Knot is considered a contact move.
That's always confused me and my big gay Ludicolo.
Seriously?
*Lumpy Space Princess voice* That's lame.
Pokabu, Mamepato, Shimama, Hihidaruma, and the SandGator and GelMonster I forgot the names of.
I understand that it'd likely be all physical and I don't care. LolSkarm, lolPokabu/Hihidaruma.
It's kind of hard to start a team on B/W without actually knowing the pokemon fully well xD but I started, Smugleaf, SandAlligator, TheRockThing, Munna, Mamepato, Chinchilla.
The only ones for certain are Rankurusu & Koromori, and even those may be subject to change.
Definitely starting with Miju, though.
Why no one like Gochiruzeru? TT_TT
Well, mine would be a water starter (Wotter), a flyer (Wargle), a psychic/ghost (Gochiruzeru), a BST 600 pseudo-legend (Kibago??), Hihidaruma and a random woodland creature (HypnoMongoose!). Pretty much what I pick for every game, unless I try (and fail) a nuzlocke run.

Mr.Mime+Buizel (Mijumaru), King Tut and the big mole are certain.
The others, maybe, are the Prision Unicorn (Shimama), the jelly that everyone loves (Ranky, not Muk), and either the Demon's pet (Zorua) or Capitalismgle.
But you can only use new ones until you own the Elite Four, I think.

Well, look on the bright side. No more annoying Supersonic-using Zubats. (Please don't tell me Koromori leans Hypnosis)
-Hypnosis
-Supersonic
-Poison Fang
-Quick Attack
Fuck.
-Supersonic
-Poison Fang
-Quick Attack
Fuck.
And no more Tentacool/cruel annoying you while surfing and Girafarig spamming Psybeams and most important:
No more Golbats using Mean Look+Confuse Ray!!! (Celebrate good times, come on!)
=_= I'm going to beat the game twice, once just for fun... then the next time I'm going to cheat so that I can transfer early.
Add Super Fang over Supersonic and OMFGWTFBBQ. Oh, and since Magikarp and Tentacool won't be in Isshu in the beginning, what pokemon will we encounter by surfing? (Unless we get to drive a boat in Isshu, 'cause it seems more..... technologically advanced than the other regions)
Mamanbou and Swana, maybe, or even any! (That'd be awesome.)
Basurao looks a lot like Magikarp. I'm guessing we'll also find Mamanbou, and possibly Swana/Swana prevo.
My team is really gonna be decided based on the evolutions of the Pokemon we've seen. Right now, I'm thinking Tsutaja, Wooguru, Swana, Shimama, Meguroko/Moguryu, and Musharna/Rankurusu. Heck, I might do a solo-Flying run. Wooguru, Swana, Mamepato, Emonga, Koromori, and hopefully Tsutaja's finally evo would be a fun team.
Which means we're probably going to get a Milo-clone.
