You do realize that Electabuzz and Magmar can't survive in the current metagame without an evolution.

You're right, I almost forgot about the sheer dominance of bulky Pokemon and Lightning bruisers. There needs to be some serious balancing.

I wonder how long this thread is going to get before it's renewed.

It's pretty balanced, there's just no place for Evire or Magmortar.

A metagame that favors certain types is not a balanced game. That's like saying Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 is balanced despite the dominance of Sential, Magneto, Storm, and Cable.

It doesn't favor certain types, Magmortar and Evire just suck.

So by that logic, there's really no need for fire, ice, and electric because they stink battle, and the metagame is better off without them. All you need is just water, fighting, ground, and steel, and there's your balanced game.

Then explain to me how Cloyster, Mamoswine, Infernape, Blaziken, Volcarona, Ho-oh, Rotom Wash, Heatran, Ninetails, Jolteon and Magnezone are all OU or higher.

Cloyster (water type/bulk), Mamoswine (ground type/bulk), Infernape (fighting type/lightning brusier), Blaziken (same as Infernape), Volcarona (bulk), Ho-oh (bulk), Rotom Wash (water typing/bulk), Heatran (steel typing/bulk), Ninetales (weather summoner), Jolteon (rare exception though still suffers the same as Electivire), and Magnezone (steel typing, bulk).

Exactly, the game is pretty balanced. I rest my case.

.........What? How is that balanced at all? All it does is favor only water types, steel types, fighting types, and steel types (no matter what their secondary typing is), tanks, walls, and lightning brusiers. That means glass cannons, fragile speedsters, and jack of all stats are labeled as the worst of the worst. A balanced game needs to favor all of them.

You can't "favor" everything, that's like saying you want your entire population to be above average. Strategies fall in and out of favor, that's just the way it goes. As far as typing is concerned, pretty much every type is represented in the OU metagame.
