I don't believe pact wizard in any way affects familiar selection. You can be sworn to a azata, and choose a cat as a familiar, but at 7th level, your familiar will transform into an azata as it's true form.

so improved familiar is the only way you get too choose what familiar you want ?

I don't know what sort of restrictions you're looking at, but all things being taken as written this is the list. I would expect gravity, positive and negative to be nixed by any DM.

Elemental, Air
Elemental, Cold Iron
Elemental, Earth
Elemental, Fire
Elemental, Gravity
Elemental, Ice
Elemental, Lightning
Elemental, Magma
Elemental, Mud
Elemental, Negative Energy
Elemental, Positive Energy
Elemental, Psionic
Elemental, Water

pretty much core only familiars with improved familiars.

I really don't know what you are asking. When you create a Pact Wizard, you choose who/what the pact is with at 1st level. At that time you ALSO choose a regular familiar from the regular familiar list, just as any other wizard who chooses a familiar. At 7th level, you essentially get an improved familiar 'for free', with the restriction that the familiar is of the type you swore to at 1st level.

well i decided to change my archetype and take improved familiar and im wanting to take an elemental and it says small elemental (any type) the any type is where im confused which ones can i take that are not 3rd party.

Most GM's would probably say:
"Anything on this page that is called ???? Elemental, small."
Though many (smarter) GM's would block the really weird (less elemntalish) ones, like gravity, negative, and positive.

Have you read the description?

[jonhl1986]

only part that mentions humanoid form is for weapons nothing else from what i see .

[CraziFuzzy]

from Earth Elemental, Small:

This hulking, roughly humanoid creature of dirt and stone explodes up from the earth, faceless save for two glowing gemstone eyes.

.....

Earth elementals are plodding, stubborn creatures made of living stone or earth. When utterly still, they resemble a heap of stone or a small hill.

When an earth elemental lumbers into action, its actual appearance can vary, although its statistics remain identical to other elementals of its size. Most earth elementals look like terrestrial animals made out of rock, earth, or even crystal, with glowing gemstones for eyes. Larger earth elementals often have a stony humanoid appearance. Bits of vegetation frequently grow in the soil that makes up parts of an earth elemental's body.

A small earth elemental is 4 feet long and weighs 80 pounds

ok thanks so only larger sized ones have a humanoid appearance not the small sized ones

"most", "often", etc - meaning flavor it however you like.
