*Approved by Kokoloko, "stolen" from RU
So, I wanted to start up a resource for newer players, as well as give other players a chance to discuss each of the Pokemon that comprise the UU tier, one at a time. Essentially, I'll post up a new Pokemon every Sunday. For the rest of the week, everyone will get to weigh in on the Pokemon in question. Votes for new Pokemon will begin on Fridays 3:00pm EST, just PM me who you would like to see be the UU Pokemon of the Week. Whichever entry gets the most votes will take the cake!
General topics that I'd like to see discussed:
Goals of the Project:
As weeks progress, I'll keep a table of contents for which Pokemon have been featured, which will be found below. Quality posts will also help catch kokoloko's eye and may win you an Au Gratin award.
Table of Contents:
Week #1 - Blastoise and Heracross
Week #2 - Roserade and Ambipom
Week #3 - Chandelure and Cobalion
Week #4 - Mew, Cofagrigus, and Tornadus

General topics that I'd like to see discussed:
- What sets are popular and effective?
- What general roles and niches does this Pokemon fulfill?
- What advantages does it have over the other Pokemon with these roles? Disadvantages?
- What does this Pokemon effectively counter, check, and threaten?
- What counters, checks, and threatens this Pokemon?
- What are good teammates?
- How does this Pokemon fit into the metagame in general, and how has the metagame adapted to its presence?
Goals of the Project:
- To produce a great resource for newer players looking to get into UU. I'll keep a table of contents, so users will easily be able to find the specific Pokemon they want to learn more about, or simply read through the thread to get an idea of each Pokemon and it's effect on the metagame.
- To give UU players a chance to discuss, dissect, and explain their experiences with each Pokemon, how it best functions, and what roles it plays in our metagame.
- To create a more casual alternative to onsite analyses, driven by the experiences of everyone playing the metagame as opposed to just a singular, unified view. This should hopefully shed more light on the ups and downs of a Pokemon, and explain why various players would want to use or not use it.
