Now, before you start to criticize me for not wanting to play OU, understand something. The vast majority of the online community uses OU pokemon, the same exact strategies over and over again, skarmbliss, specsmence; etc etc. The point I'm getting at isn't to rid your OU teams and start playing BL team, it's simply that if you feel the need to express your creative side outside of the OU tier then come and join the BL league and test out a new team, just a novelty team you feel like throwing together.
