@Ghetsis-Dennis; We pay attention to them, but we don't like a Pokemon just because it's not "competitively viable", there's a lot more than just competitive battling to Pokemon.

Some people here like competitive battles, some don't. Others, like me, enjoy them occasionally but are mostly casual players.

The world ain't black and white.

With the mentioning of the Foot Clan, I'm in a mood for Battletoads.

What @Lavender Frost; said. While I enjoy seeing Pokemon I like in the higher tiers, I don't like them less if they're in NU or something.

Yet whenever I go to Random Matchups, I mostly face people who use Pokemon from OU plus the banned ones like Garchomp.
Not sure what your point is here. Yes, Pokemon from high tiers are generally more popular in Random Matchups because you're simply more likely to win that way. If you want to battle with lower-tier Pokemon without running into Garchomp all the time, don't play Random Matchups. Find someone who also likes using UU/NU/whatever Pokemon and battle them.

@Ghetsis-Dennis; I don't care much that Unown is really weak, I'm not like a big fan of it, but I sorta like the design and like how mysterious it is.

Problem is, I don't want to face teams of UU/NU/whatever Pokemon, because it makes me feel like a newbie/casual player, and hardcore gamers tend to poke of them.

I'm a casual CoD player and I'm better than a lot of hardcore players. Hardcore players just think they're automatically better because they are uber try hardships.
