What the ever lovin' hell is UU Dontay, you filthy pokemon nerd?!! >.<
UU = UnderUsed. In other words, mid tier.

Pokemon tiers:

Ubers = God Tier (Banned)
OU = OverUsed/Top Tier
BL = BorderLine/High Tier
UU = UnderUsed/Mid Tier
RU = RarelyUsed/Low Tier
NU = NeverUsed/Bottom Tier
LC = Little Cup/Baby Tier

Anyone remember a Pokemon game that had a black cartridge? I think it used the original cards in the game as well. Was for the Game Boy Color or somethinglike that.

Admittedly I played pretty heavily last generation. Still play here and there in this one, but a lot less so. Just got tired of the extreme same-team syndrome early in its lifespan and it left a bad taste in my mouth. Seriously surprised to see anyone on TYM of all places playing it, though.

Yeah, right now OU honestly is super-poop IMO. Ubers is where it's at, and honestly, I believe Ubers rotation will end up as the best metagame as soon as one of the battle sims decides to program it in. The devs are seriously brushing off triple/rotation, and it's stupid, because rotation is clearly godlike.

Anybody ever buy Pokemon from e-Bay because the ad says no Gameshark was used, only to realize they were Action Replayed instead?

No? Just me?

Fuck.

I actually never played rotation or triples. Actually, I haven't even played B/W. Just the metagame on sims. Team preview still has a bad feeling on me, it just took away a surprise element - which had a lot of value for certain Pokemon. It just strips away one layer of prediction. Woulda made Zoroak really good, too. But nothing near broken.

Yeah, now you can't make epic predictions with focus punch anymore :(.

I was in Philadelphia a few weeks ago for the VGC tournament and went 4-3 in the 7-round swiss using a my friend's team that I had never used before. It was a lot of fun even though the tournament started 3.5 hours late. There's a strong possibility that I will be going to Canadian Nationals in Toronto on July 1st, probably with a Gravity team. Is anyone else going to make the trip?
