Indeed but honestly at times it comes down to who has more firepower which was not the case in DP OU. Yes but why be forced into playing weather, the best teams still utilize weather because it's so damn good. It's ridiculously centralizing and don't get me started on the dragons. Creativity and...

As a DP OU player who liked the creativity/strategy required for the metagame, I personally find BW OU terribad. There is strategy don't get me wrong however it more about who has the team with greater firepower/some synergy. It's basically killed off playstyles as well. You also have to use...

Yeah I knew I was kicking myself in the face when I added that Susanoo (the guardian deity thing) behind him but it was just too...awesome not to add. Yeah I'll take that into account next time. I see, well I'll see what I can do about that. Flow? I have a pretty good idea what that is but...

I knew the outer glow was a bad idea but on the Sasuke one I was lost on how to make him stick out. Blurring and sharpening did little to help there but I can see where you're coming from. Perhaps a different background/effects would be better. I thought the text didn't look too disruptive but...

Anyways just posting to say there seems to be a lot of interest in UU so I may post a discussion thread on it. I'll offer my humble expertise and perhaps everyone can just help each other. I assure this, this is probably the best BW metagame in terms of strategy/creativity. Anyway I'll probably...

Making OU the focus here is like making Ping Pong the main sport in the Olympics. Encouraging people to play quite possibly the worst thing that's come out of Nintendo is a bad idea when you want activity. And yes if not a DCC, make it a Battle Chat. It can be just discussions on competitive...

Nope, heard of it though. Have you seen Magi?

Well the main forum seems to gotten a little life but I still think DCC is a valid option. I think the forum is mature enough (as we see here) not to spam it with garbage posts. If we stick to a topic it could be a good way to have a discussion without leaving non-battlers out. Even if it gets a...

Jirachi was a menace back in the day. With the power creep, Scarf has become nothing but setup fodder nowadays. From a UU perspective, I really despise Honchkrow. It's so infuriating if it gets a Moxie boost because most Pokemon faster then it get wrecked by +1 Sucker Punch and most slower...

I personally dislike it a lot, back in Gen IV a stat of 100 was considered good. Nowadays a stat of 100 is merely average, it also makes stall harder to play due to how powerful offensive teams can get. I also feel with so much offensive Pokemon at your disposal the element of strategy is...

DPPt OU closely followed by BW UU. Both offer a great amount of variety and creativity, the tiers themselves are balanced and best of all they're weather-free so it's not some Uber-clone.

I did once as a challenge. Think it was a Blastoise in Blue, that was boring as hell now that I look back at it.

I think BW UU is the better option, people still want to play a current 'meta' and Gen IV is quite different from Gen V. That being said BW UU is actually quite akin to DP OU in some ways, there isn't weather wars for one and most teams are viable. Hazards are still quite prominent like they are...

I'll be willing to help people with UU, only casually though. As for qualifications or reasons why I should, I've got a fair amount of experience in it and I've made the top 10 of Smogon's UU ladder multiple times in the past.

Close to none but it's a business opportunity they are walking right over. I mean yeah they'd be doing awesome with the games but it's another market they can reach.
