In regards to the Tier List, I'm sick of deliberating. It seems split between keeping BL or not, but to me, it's a waste of space. It's boring; hence why it was removed. We should use Shoddy's list, but some people disagree. I thought of making this poll to get a definitive answer. The List with most votes will be the one Acanthite uses for it's Shoddy/Wi-fi tourneys. Simple as really. Please state a reason behind your vote.
Thanks and please vote.
I voted Shoddy's because it relates to the current metagame, it's a much more accurate set of lists and that style of metagame is more fun.
Hmm... This is a toughie :P
Both lists have their positive and negative points, but if I have to choose, it's probably Shoddy. I still has its weak points, but I think it's a bit more accurate than Acanthite's.
I vote for Shoddy because it's more accurate than the Acanthite Tier List and is based on statistics, which generally gives a good idea of how the metagame works (except for Tauros and Lickilicky in NU <_<).
I vote for Shoddy because it is more accurate in that it is based off of a pokemon's abilities after testing to determine how a pokemon should be ranked. I also believe that the BL tier is pointless.
I dunno. Both lists are terrible at the moment.
But I'm fine so long as Latias is still banned. :)
I think I'm going to have to go with Shoddy, as the Acanthite list isn't as accurate. Although they're both useful.
I choose Shoddy's list even though I think it's absolutely correct. The reason for this choice is that the people behind Shoddy put a lot of time, supposedly, into research to come up with these results. I don't think BL should have been taken out, because there is middle ground between really strong Pokemon and not-so-strong novelty Pokemon. I don't think should be called borderline though, but the best thing I can rename it is sometimes used (SU) :P.
What do you honestly think? :P
EDIT: Although, honestly, I'd like to see both in use, with the person running the tourney specifying which tier list is to be used.
Please if you have voted on this thread, reply with an answer. I should of set it to see who voted what. Right it's tied at 5 all, which isn't helping matters, so pelase keep voting and telling us why.
I make it 6-5 to Shoddy. Reason: Accuracy.
By the way, what's BL?

BL=Border Line
For Pokemon that are neither UnderUsed nor OverUsed, just somewhere in-between. SometimesUsed actually does fit it, which Traveler called it. I personally see no need for it though.
