Resource NU Information

[Raseri]

Hello everyone! Welcome to the NU tier, the lowest tier in standard play. Like any subforum, the NU forum has rules, and if you don't follow these rules at least to an extent, you will recieve an infraction.

To start off, pretty much any rule that applies in the other subforums and on Smogon in general should apply here, however there are some specific rules that i'd either like to highlight or are exclusive to this tier.

You can find a list of all NU Pokemon here.

1) please ask an NU moderator before making a discussion thread:

I'd really like all of you to get approval from an NU moderator before creating a discussion thread. New ideas are nice, but it's usually a good idea to check in with a forum moderator before impulsively posting something that's of low quality, too similar to another project, or anything of the like. NU forum Moderators should be happy to help out with new discussions, and even if an idea isn't initially approved they might be able to help out with your thread to make it a bit more presentable before you post, which is good for you, us, and the people who will post in the thread in the future.

Currently the moderators of the NU forum are:

Raseri
Zebraiken
Montsegur
marilli

Previous Moderators

Soulgazer
DTC

2) do not make discussion threads about specific Pokemon:

One of the first types of threads that usually pops up in these new forums are threads about specific Pokemon. I dislike these kind of threads, they die fast and really clutter up the forum. If you want to discuss a specific pokemon in detail, try on IRC, the Pokemon Showdown room, or in the np thread.

Come by our synirc channel #neverused to participate in real time discussion with other people that are in to the metagame! You can connect to #neverused on mibbit by clicking here.

IRC not your thing? We also have a very active room on Pokemon Showdown! You can find people chatting in the neverused room almost all hours of the day! If you have questions or want to get involved in the community, talking in real time is by far the best way to get involved. We have a lot of very friendly staff that are willing to show you the ropes as well! You can visit us on PS by clicking here.

We have many ways to learn and get involved in NU, here is a list of projects that are currently being ran!

Alright I believe this thread is fully updated again. In the future this will serve as a sort of News Room (NU's room?) as well, for me to tell you all the cool things going on.

To start things off, I'd like to welcome Montsegur and Soulgazer to the NU Mod team. They'll be helping me and Zeb manage things around here, so if you've got questions you can ask them as well!
