I love the pokemon that help me win. They're my favorites, so I don't see why you should complain when I use them.

I'd rather see my bro Marowak fight against Pokémon against whom he actually stands a chance. I wouldn't dare send him into a battle I know he can't possibly win, and only a monster would.

Seems like a lot of the time people will get upset at other trainers using powerful pokemon as if they're trying too hard or something or they don't actually like those pokemon. I typically battle in OU, but I don't use pokemon that I don't have interest in using, that don't fit my style. Garchomp is always on a lot of my teams because I really like Garchomp.

One of my favorite pokemon is Lucario. I think he's a pretty cool guy (also excuse my use of he, I've only ever had males). I don't like him because he's great competitively (he was low-tier OU in gen V iirc). I like him because he's a cool Jedi Jackal Ninja guy.

I hate the way people use pokemon these days. Breeding with dittos and crossbreeding foul creatures as tools of war that they have no passion for. I hate the metagame so I vowed to break it using a fine balance of swag. I strip apart teams. It's what I do. I eat you alive. With pokemon you think are obsolete. But absolute, powerful intention separates the men from the boys. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. So don't be a bitch. WAR UMBREON

One should always have a friend to play non competitive matches for the fun of it. Once you go competitive its hard to think outside the box. That said, my favorite pokemon are Dragonite, Scizor, Vileplume, Feraligatr, Alakazam, Shuckle, Marril, Gengar, Arcanine.. and many more but they were my bros waaay before I even learn how to pokemon.

Yes, believe it or not, tiers are based on how much the Pokémon is used. Hence why they have names like over USED, under USED, and never USED. Holy shit you are fucking retarded.
Are stronger Pokémon generally found in higher tiers? Yes! I'm sure you can figure that one out on your own.

I think, once again, a majority is being attacked because of a negative stereotype popularized by a vocal minority. Not all Karenfags care if you love OU shit/winning. If you truly like those pokemon, then by all means, use them. Just don't shit on someone else's parade because their favorite pokemon isn't in OU.
