Only in your own head.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.
But anime girls are hot ;_;

Competitive NU is not newbie or casual. Exactly the same amount of work goes into crafting and perfecting movesets and EV spreads as it does for high tiers. In fact, since there's a greater variety of threats in NU, one could argue that it requires even more skill to be consistently good.
I don't know where you're getting the impression that NU is looked down on, but it can't be from Smogon, which is teeming with respected NU players and create the NU tier specifically so that lower-powered Pokemon would have a chance to excel.
But I feel as if I've explained this several times already...

You have a google images, right?
No.Still better than Pony spam..

Who cares if they're hot. There's an anime picture thread in Land of the Rising Sun. It's annoying. I go there to see funny random pics and all I get are boring fully clothed anime chicks.

This in no way serves as a counterargument to anything I posted. I have no idea where you're going with this.I don't buy it, because there are some Pokemon in NU who are simply too strong by NU standards, which makes me wonder why there's no Borderline 3.
Yes, sometimes analyses can be negative. But the very fact that they exist in the first place is proof that sites like Smogon are giving said Pokemon the full competitive treatment. I've occasionally been irked by some of their reviews too, but I also have to acknowledge that my favorite Pokemon writer of all time, the Pokemon of the Day Chick, would often really go to town on Pokemon she disliked, often for totally arbitrary reasons. It was also funny as hell. So take the embellishment for what it is - artistic expression on the part of the writer - and concentrate on the nuts and bolts of the analysis.Plus, I've read some analysises from NU Pokemon, and they came out as negative responses to said Pokemon like Seaking.
