I for the life of me cannot find an Eevee. Can I do that pre-third gym? If so, where?

This Pokemon World Tournament thing is ticking me off. Computer finds out what your team is most weak against and crushes you...=(

yes, its in the secret garden spot inside of the sewers.
just keep looking on the left side of the grass. You will find it, plus you can do some Arduino training at the same time.
Oh, alright then.
I already have like four Heatrans, but it's good to know I'll have the opportunity to add one more to my Heatran harem.

ooh caught a growlithe... hadn't train one since gold lol. When do you evolve them now? I remember it used to be lvl 50 when they learned flamethrower, but I assume stuff is different now?

Level 45 is its last attack. Flare Blitz.
The last move it learns is at Level 45, Flare Blitz. It's a powerful fire move but causes recoil damage.
EDIT: Grah, beaten.

My ExtremeSpeed gives me +2 posting priority.

Its been forever for me since I used one too, can you still use one of the NPCs to get Extreme Speed if you level past level 36 before evolving?
In other news, just got to first gym, and now my mission is to obtain a Sandshrew. Hes my bro.

ExtremeSpeed is level 34 for Arcanine nowadays. But yes, you can use the Move Relearner to teach it after evolving.

Hmmm but arcainine gets extreme speed at 34 right? Are the later fire moves worth it?

I have never played a pokemon game, and had a few questions:
Is this new version approachable for novices?
Is it better than Black or White?
How does it look on the 3ds xl?
Any other advice for someone looking to get into the series? Any ipad companion app/guide?

Yes. You'd also miss out on Crunch, Heat Wave, and Outrage by evolving early.
It's better to just learn ExtremeSpeed from the move relearner.
Though Flamethrower might be the better attack in-game since recoil damage from Flare Blitz isn't as easily managed over long periods of time...

Do you actually get anything from pokestars outside of the misc stuff from fans?

Yes. Not as much as Black and White, fairly self-evidently, but there's rundowns of all the key mechanics if you need them, and the story's easy to follow.
I'd say yes. There's a hell of a lot more content, including a very meaty postgame portion.
Washed out in full screen mode, very sharp in small mode.
There are several options. Personally, I like to use Serebii myself, because he has the info you need laid out very nicely as well as dedicated Pokearth and Game Mechanics pages, but there's also Bulbapedia for a wider, wiki-style view.

Everyone said I was crazy for completing the Prop Case for the Musicals. But thanks to the Memory Link, I got to keep everything in my new game.
Look at this Scraggy!

I had a pretty quiet day today. I woke up early in the morning to get a head start on things, and began my trek to Virbank. Along the way, I encountered many trainers of varying age and skill level, and even battled a toddler who couldn't have been older than 4. How is it that someone so young can have access to a Pokémon right away, and yet I didn't get one until I was 19? Life is cruel.
Upon entering Virbank, I realized that it was much different than the other towns and cities I had visited in the past. While Striaton and Aspertia were quiet, sleepy vales, Virbank was loud, busy and extremely kinetic. I spent hours just exploring every nook, cranny and experience the city had to offer. For one as sheltered and rural as I, it was truly an eye-opening experience.
I noticed posters for a group called "Dogars," which piqued my interest quite a bit. I inquired with one of the multiple busking musicians that occupied the street corners, and she said it was the region's biggest new band, and that it was created and lead by none other than Virbank's Gym Leader, Roxie.
I decided that Jake was too worn out from yesterday's Gym Battle to handle another so soon, and instead opted to explore the Virbank Complex that lay just south of the city.
Amidst the various machines and structures, I lay on my back in the tall grass, looking up at the beautiful blue sky. I wondered if Desmond was looking up at this same sky right now; of if he was off doing more important things. I could've sat there and let my mind drift from thought to thought for an eternity, but my fantasy was interrupted by the approach of a Pokémon.
Its perfect red fur almost shone in the sunlight, offset by its cream-coloured mane. I checked my PokéDex for its name, Growlithe, and knew in an instant that it had to be mine. With one deft toss of a Pokéball, I had attained the newest member of my team and a companion for Jake. After deliberating for a while, I decided to name it Ike after one of my brother's best friends and a dog lover. After initiating him with a few wild battles, I decided to turn in for the day and hurried to the Pokémon Center (but not before graciously receiving the TM for Thief from a friendly worker).
Tomorrow I earn my second badge. I just hope that Ike and Jake are up to the challenge.

In BW2's main menu before you start the game, there is an option called Unova Link. Within it is Memory Link.
With BW1 in the cartridge slot on the second DS, you use the download play option to connect and make the transfer.
There is also the option to use the Global Link website to manage it if you only have one DS.
Wait, I can do it with just one DS? Elaborate.

Shit. Guess I need to buy a ton of trade fodder balls. Whatever Gen 5's BIDOOF/DERP-MON is, I guess I'm going to capture a bunch of. :/

If you Game Sync your old game to the Dream World, you can also connect the new game and perform the Memory Link. I didn't do it that way, so I don't know all of the details to make it work.
Twas rather annoying for me since i was somewhat underleveled but I enjoyed the effects.

Sort of. I was mostly responding because you said you wanted someone to trade you something "decent."
It all depends on what you want.

Magenzone + Salamence/Gyarados actually resist every attack in the game.
As far as the 7th gym, he does not seem intimidating.
