And what about all the poor Pokemon disregarded all the way down to NU and UU (not that we have the lists yet)? Do you really think that Game Freak would want to label around 20-40 of their creations "more useful than the others" ala OU?
Game Freak supports the metagame but doesn't do much to affect it beyond things that allow non-WiFi trainers to test different strategies in-game with the Battle Towers and similar.
Also, Blaziken, while slower, was always better than Infernape because it was bulkier. Even without Speed Boost and Brave Bird, it could kick Infernape's ***.
Also, and this is from Smogon, the Baton Pass Speed Boost Blaziken was supposedly labeled "Blaziken's best set". This is BS considering Blaziken's high mixed atttacker potential and just Physical/Special attacker potential.
