Me: Alright, I've finally finished my games and am looking for something better to do in the WORLD OF POKEMON!
Mentor: what you need is COMPETITIVE BATTLING!
Me: OH COOL LET'S GET STARTED. RATE MY TEAM.
Mentor: your team sucks, go research then get back to me.
Me: okay, how about this one.
Mentor: you suck at this, never speak to me again.
Me: FINE I'LL JUST GO TO A BETTER FORUM
At smogon
Me: Look at my team
smogon: you suck, therefore you are banned
Me: ****!
Back at the old forum
Me: Smogon kicked my ass
mentor: NO **** DICKWAD, YOU SUCK!
Me: GARSFDGSGTHTSJ
Later
Me: I'll fight you on Wi-Fi
Comp player: NO COCKBUCKET YOU PLAY SHODDY. WI-FI IS FOR WOMEN AND GENDERLESS LOSERS LIKE YOU!
Me:... Okay?
Even later
Me: Alright, after it killed 3 of my computers, I finally have shoddy up and running. Guys Rate my shoddy team.
Comp Battlers: NO YOU SUCK HOW COULD YOU NOT RESEARCH EVERY SINGLE LAST DETAIL OF THIS TIER, DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT A TIER IS?!!! YOU NEED TO GROW A BRAIN AND LEARN ABOUT EVERY SINGLE METAGAME!
After researching this thing
Me: Maybe I should use a hybrid of UU and OU just to be original. I'm gonna put tauros and **** on my team because it's awesome.
People: TAKE TAUROS OFF, IT SUCKS BECAUSE IT'S UU, JUST THE THOUGHT OF USING IT MAKES YOU A NIMROD. GO **** YOURSELF CUMSUCKER!
Me: =*{(, Fine, I'll use Scizor. Those things are all the rage these days. Maybe using OUs will get me wins.
After beating some guy with a hybrid of OUs an UU
Me: gg
Comp Battler: (sarcastically) how original
Then I cry myself to sleep that night.
And that's comp. Battling for you
In a nutshell.
Thank you for reading.
And as I said at NS2, it really is.

Mack does. And if he doesn't, I'm very disappointed.

The pokemon are Grouped into Tiers so that they all get an equal chance at being used. If there were no tiers, everyone'd use Ubers. If only Ubers were banned, everyone'd use Scizor Salamence Gyarados Rotom form Zapdos Infernape.
All the others like Primape etc. can still be used by facing non OU pokemon, so they're put into their own teir.
It's to keep things fresh and new.

Thanks. I just took a look at your FAQ thread too, though. Nice :).
Ehem, that'd be Diloon's FAQ thread.
P.S. this pretty much is what battling is.
He's talking about a different thread loon.

CRUD. ORANGE NAMES. BOTH START WITH D. I DIDN'T DOUBLE-CHECK. ARGH.
Whatever threads they are, whose ever threads they are, they're all good. Yours and his. I think. You know what I'm trying to say, right?
