I have absolutly no idea if I posted this in the right place, but do you think that they will make a new tier for all of the pokemon that gained new evos like rhydon? Or would it be like kadabra/pikachu being UU? If you think they will make a new tier, where would it go?
 
NU/UU/BL/OU/Uber

Those will still be the only tiers, there's not going to be a 'Evolution of old Pokemon' tier.
 
Exactly! I don't get it myself! I think it refers to local or statewide usage on Pokemon. I play Yugioh and I hear this term a lot, so with the hints I have, I think that was what it meant
 
Metagame is pretty much what Pokemon and strats are used in competitive play. The Pokemon are split into tiers based on how useful they can be and how often they are used in standard play, with Uber Pokemon being banned from standard play as they are too powerful and lead to the same 12 or so pokemon being used all the time.
 
What does bl mean ;201-q; ;176;

I want to fight you using EOOP.ROFL...That would be fun to say, and I think someone should just make up a pretend tier like it for fun :P

I always hear it as the Black List. Usually they're great Pokemon, there just happens to be another Pokemon who does everything they do, but slightly better. Gaburaisu blacklisting Flygon is the popular example right now. Also, Pokemon are often BL'd because of a really common Pokemon that completely walls them (Skarmory or Blissey usually).

Either way it means the same thing. Not good enough for OU, but way too good for UU.
