>>36836847i played NU in gen 5 because it had pokemon i liked and i wanted to use underdogs. when gen 6 was coming in and they had pseudo PU it was kinda fun because you didnt have to build around all the top tier wall breakers in NU. then gen 6 came out and they made PU during X/Y and the official format was just cancer spamming low usage mons that had somewhat playable stats till they either floated to NU or got banned. i remember they wanted to ban fucking machoke of all things because the pu mons couldnt handle dynamic punch + knock off. even with all the ORAS nu mons who floated down for gen 7 PU the tier is still full of obviously superior things that just completely invalidate other PU options. they had to make a ZU meta for pokemon that didnt get use in PU. its honestly pathetic how limited and trash people want their tiers to be. pu was the shining example of what happens when you remove good pokemon from team building, hazards and stall were fucking unbeatable, set up mons just boned the nfe's who couldnt do shit to counter them, entire archetypes formed around the top 3 mons in the tier because it was a hinderance NOT to use them. i havent played any gen 7 PU or NU yet but they look so cancer so far.
