ok, I haven't yet so don't spoil anything, but do you get an option to keep your creature and restart the game after you beat land 5?

Yes you can go round again with the same creature with all knowledge.
You also get the chance to skip land 1.

the option to skip land 1 is only avalible if you patch...

If I recall the patch can mess up your saved games...

That's BW2 you're thinking of. There's no such problem with either of the patches for BW1
