Appendix talk:Metagame terminology
Nicknames for species?
I think Shedinjask may be on the right track as far as that goes... this page needs to be cleaned up anyway... lemme get a list of the nicknames and I'll see, eh? TTEchidnaGSDS! 23:25, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
TrickBracer?
Do people still do that? I'd say using Iron Ball or Lagging Tail would be far more effective in the current generation. --Phred 04:05, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
a question
can someone please explain this whole "metagame" thing to me? There seems not to be a Metagame article. 折り紙ガイ 12:03, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Also, it would be nice if we had a list of OU UU and NU pokemon. Noname
- I agree. I'd like to know what Pokémon are OU, UU, and NU. I swear i saw an article on there before, but i can't remember which one. I really have no idea what Pokémon are UU, NU, and OU, But it'd be nice too see if any of the Pokémon in my main party are Overused or Underused. I know that the Final-forms of the Starters are probably overused...a lot xD Takoto タコト 17:55, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

New Strategy
If i manage to come up with a new strategy, can I post it here on this article? JirachiWishmaker0802 14:45 19 July 2008 (UTC)
- Since Smogon.com pretty much controls the metagame, if you can prove to them that it works well enough there, and they come up with a cool name for it, then yes. Good luck. (looks at Solrock page). PsychoRobo 19:51, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
Proof?
"Shaymin in its Sky Forme may also see use as a flinchaxor, due to its Serene Grace, high Speed and Special Attack, and the ability to learn Air Slash."
I can't see anything that confirms this. Removing until someone has a reliable source. PsychoRobo 19:57, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
Garchomp now considered Uber
Garchomp has been added to the Uber tiers at Smogon.com so I've added him to the Ubers list.

- Baby G removed it from the list, I just added it back in. Oh, and sign your comments. Satosuke 14:07, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
- I removed it because Garchomp is not uber. Garchomp can be 2HKO'd by Donphan's Ice Shard, but Donphan's not uber. --Baby G (talk to me) (see my edits) 14:58, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
- So can Salamence now can't it? --PsychicRider☮ 15:23, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, but nobody ever said Salamence was uber. --Baby G (talk to me) (see my edits) 15:24, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
- So can Salamence now can't it? --PsychicRider☮ 15:23, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Poké Nicknames?
I finished redirecting all the terms to this page. Anyone think it's necessary to redirect the Pokémon nicknames to their respective articles? --ニョロトノ666 00:32, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Tiers
Definitions for most parts are wrong. These terms stemmed out from Smogon as usage based tiers and I am changing the definitions to reflect that.--Outrage DD 20:01, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
- SMogon Thread regarding Tiers So I'm not saying that Competitive Battlign = Smogon always, but that these terms did originate from that source, and must have the proper definitions.--Outrage DD 20:09, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
- Also forgot to add this quote from that thread that will sum this all up "People want to know which Pokemon are good. Now lets think about this: "since we are basing standards on which Pokemon are used in a competitive enviroment (namely, what you would use in a tournament), would someone over use a bad Pokemon?" No. People want to win, and since people like to use the best Pokemon, we have a correlation between usage and power. The problem comes around when people group Pokemon obviously meant for the BL tier in the OU tier and it becomes a meaningless list of what people think is strong"--Outrage DD 20:11, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Stop
Can whoever keeps editing Garchomp off the Uber list please stop it. Especially since you aren't giving any reasons for removing it. Mr. Black 05:49, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
