I voted "only against other ubers" because that's most fair, though the way I actually use them is "only as a last resort". I'm so ashamed...

I don't care if someone uses ubers or not, it's their decison.

It depends on the person's personal taste. If they like certain ubers and want to use them, that's fine with me. The game's about having fun, not about what's over-used.

I mean like in competitive play, should they be allowed?

Stupid question; but what is a uber?

an uber is a legendary

No, that's too vague. Not all legendaries are ubers.

I don't remember the specific list, but I think all legendaries are ubers except for Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Entei, Raikou, Suicune, Regice, Regirock, and Registeel. Correct me if I missed any. Also Wobbuffet is an uber.

EDIT: I forgot Celebi and Jirachi, and I think Mew. Those three, I believe, are not ubers.

So they aren't ubers? I guess they're in a class of their own. also, how is wobbuffett an uber? I understand that they're strong and not worthless, and would be strong enough to be in the same division as Blaziken or Charizard or Blastoise but an uber??? I don't get it. I like wobbufetts, but do they really deserve the same status as mew or rayquaza or any of those?

Massive HP, and a killer Moveset. Wynaut learning Encore is what made Wobbuffet uber.

Shadow tag + Encore. Figure that out for yourself.

And Mew might just be an uber; after all, it has balanced stats and compatibility with any move.

Mew might be an uber...

So Mew MIGHT NOT BE an uber?!?!? So you're saying that there's any question to whether the BEST POKEMON EVER is uber? >:| [...] MEW FTW!

Mew IS an uber due to its unpredictablity and balance of stats. Base 100 in every stat isn't bad, but it's not great, either.

I think it's ok if people use ubers. Even ubers have weak spots, after all. You can take them down, if you know what you're doing.

sorry, I thought you pulled the question of Mew's uber-ness out of nowhere.
Now I realize you were responding to the other guy who said Mew wasn't an uber.

Hi! :)
Let people use ubers if they want. Why else would they be in the game? As long as they don't give someone an unfair advantage, I think they're ok. It's the person's choice what they want on their team.

Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is. Ubers are Pokemon, too, and if people choose to use them, then whatever. If you're saying it's unfair, it's really not. Everyone is perfectly capable of catching and training ubers. I personally don't use them, but it's not because they're "cheating". I just don't use them because I like the Pokemon I start out with and train from when they were little and low-leveled. You uber-bashers really need to chill out and maybe use an uber every once and a while or something. Just stop bashing people because they want to train a certain Pokemon.

Maybe I should freak out 'cause you guys are using Crobats or something. omg, die. *Stabstab* It's so wrong, it could beat me, I hate people who use Crobats! It's cheating!
