Also I hope NU gets a lot of positive changes and things that can help out the current psychic domination in gen 6. :3 |

What I really wish is that NU becomes a place for Pokémon which aren't supposed to battle, like Unown and similar things. It's really difficult to balance 300+ evolved Pokémon plus Eviolite-NFE, though. |

And I would not want that for gen 6 at all. NU is a great metagame, and the things that shouldn't battle are really PU/NFE etc. NU in gen 6 is something I reallyyyy want. :3 |
Who knows? Some Pokémon might get a huge turnaround like Politoed did. It was never used in Gen IV and now it's one of the most common Pokémon in OU. All it really takes is one major addition and it can change everything. An NU Pokémon like Vanilluxe would definitely move up a couple of tiers if it got another ability like Snow Warning.
|
Cloyster became a real competitor once it gained Shell Smash too, I can see something similar happening to Pokemon that are currently in the NU tier.
|
I kinda hope some of my favourites get a big boost. It wouldn't be too over the top for Beedrill to get Speed Boost would it?
|
I'd like Beedrill to get a boost too, a BST of 385 is pretty poor given that it's at the final evolution. If it were to gain Speed Boost I think Butterfree would have to get an equally enhancing ability, same goes for Dustox & Beautifly.

The only way to save NU Pokemon from being NU is a base stat revamp, which is a possibility given that each even-numbered gen changes something from the game mechanic. Gen II had the special stat split, and Gen IV had the physical/special move split.

Hm... it makes me think about which older Pokémon would end up with improved BST and when the new Pokémon get revealed... seeing how high their BST would be in Pokémon X and Y.
It'll be interesting to see what happens. |

I think they'll keep the seasons, if they didn't, what would happen to Deerling and Sawsbuck?
|
I think they have the idea of the new X and Y version wrong...Since its on the 3DS...The pokemon adventure is fully 3 dimensional. The X,Y and Z axis are responsible for the creation of this 3 dimensional view of the pokemon world and each legendary represents an axis.Without their existence the world would be void. The bad guys are gonna be called team oblivion and their goal is to destroy the three legendaries to somehow start a new world...
|
Naturally that makes sense to ask about Deerling and Sawsbuck, but let's look at Leafeon, Glaceon, Magneton, etc. You couldn't evolve them in HeartGold/SoulSilver unless you traded back to D/P/Pt.

i don't mean to sound stupid but what exactly is a UN and a OU pokemon.

EDIT: Clicking a link there tells me "UN" is a typo. OU is "Overused", NU is "Never Used". Cyclone |
I believe that it is based on the legend that was brought up where they represent the land, air, and sea. I think the new villains will be knights and another team of scientists. It would be one team conquering the region with methods that were used in the past like fighting with swords and pokemon. The scientist team could represent trying to conquer the region with new technology and maybe genetically alerted pokemon like porygon, etc. It probably won't happen though. I saw an interesting rumor for the game that states that the starters evolutions become European based. It said that froakie became electric and water and resembles a viking, fennekin becomes fire and psychic and resembles a wizard and chespin becomes grass and fighting and looks like a knight with chestnut armor. It also mentioned some other pokemon, some of which were based on European culture.

They're some of the tiers in Smogon's tier system. Tiers are as follows: NU, RU, BL2, UU, BL, OU and Uber. There is also LC, Limbo and NFE. The tiers system is explain in detail here. |
NU - Never Used. These are the Pokemon that aren't often used, this is mainly due to those Pokemon that are over looked or have poor statistics.
OU - Over Used. These are Pokemon that are used more than others, this is mainly due to useful abilities or a sturdy BST. |
Quote:
Uber: Typically Pokémon banned from being used in other tiers. They usually consist of legendaries but not always. Over-Used (OU): The most popular tier in the metagame. This consists of Pokémon you're more than likely to see used in the metagame. Borderline (BL): Pokémon that exceed the expectations for the tier Under-Used, but doesn't exactly fit in the OU bracket. Under-Used (UU): Pokémon that aren't used very often in competitive battles and you're not likely to see them used most often in the OU tier. Never-Used (NU): The title isn't to be taken literal, but these are Pokémon that you're not typically going to see being used very much or at all. Not Fully Evolved (NFE): I think this one speaks for itself. I think that covers most of it. I haven't been in the competitive scene for such a long while honestly. Edit: Got my butt whopped by the above posters. But you get the idea now! I'm expecting X and Y to shake up the metagame scene a bit. At least I hope so, maybe I might get back into it again...or maybe not. But hey, you never know! |
thanks thats good to know now i can join in on the conversation.
something wierd i've noticed is that the professers are named after trees. Oak,Juniper,Burg. |
