NFE Pokemon with Regular Analyses

GMLW

GMLW

Thread title is misleading, I wasn't sure how to phrase this in only a few words.

Anyway, we now have many NFE Pokemon with on-site analyses, whether due to LC, or having a niche in UU or NU. However, if you want to see any of these other than Scyther, Chansey, Pikachu, Clamperl, or Trapinch, you have to change your tier threshold preference to NFE. I don't feel like scrolling through a bunch of crap NFE Pokemon just to get to this one good NFE Pokemon. So what I am suggesting is that if these NFE Pokemon get an on-site analysis, the analysis is put in the NU tier, instead of the NFE tier. For LC analyses, maybe you could even create a new tier called LC. This is just a suggestion, if it is too much work or too time consuming or whatever, then don't do it. But it would be helpful to people who play UU, NU, or LC.
 
If the pokemon is viable in any given tier, it will eventually receive an analysis sooner or later. If they don't have a use, whats the point of giving them an analysis on how to use them?
 
No, I think that's the point... useless NFE Pokemon would stay in the NFE tier, but Pokemon that get used in NU like Gabite and Haunter SHOULD have their own analyses and be rated in the NU tier. =0 Because they're considered not useless-- that's the point.

And then Little Cup Pokemon, which while useless in regular play, DO have their own tier that hasn't yet been recognized by the Smogon Analysis Pokedex... I agree with Lonewolf, there should definitely be a new tier introduced for Little Cup Pokemon.

...I basically just repeated most of what Lonewolf said, BTW, I'm just not sure that DJX got it. =0
 
I completely agree with this. I've asked about this a couple times (probably in the wrong place :P) and not really gotten a clear response. I should have posted it here *facepalm*. Good idea.
 
Oooohh i see. I didn't read thoroughly through the OP, and thought it meant that all pokemon should have analyses lol.... But yeah, now i get it, and support it.
 
I'm agreeing with this and one thing I would like to point out is that for example is if you click on the Uber tier, you can find Wynaut, but if you click on it to get the analysis, it gives you the LC analysis, which doesn't really make sense. Obviously no one would use Wynaut in Ubers over Wobbufet, but it is still a bit jumbled.

Little Cup isn't a tier though, but a metagame. I'm actually interested in having Uber/OU/UU/NU/NFE for standard and a seperate tab or something for Uber/OU/UU
for LC.

That's a good point, but the problem is that the LC tiers aren't as solidified as the standard lv100 tiers are... LC is a fairly young metagame (pardon the pun, LOL) and there are a lot of potentially good Pokemon that haven't been looked at in it yet.

Personally, I don't see the problem with just having LC analyses for all the Pokemon that aren't banned in it (which includes, of course, the Ubers), since there isn't really a LC Ubers metagame like there is for Standard play--

In othere words, just list all the LC-legal Pokemon under the 'LC' tier. It might not be the most accurate in terms of the terminology of the word 'tier', but it'd at least be recognizable on the main site and stuff. =\
 
NU is not yet a Smogon-sanctioned metagame, so we don't gear our analyses towards it, and we try to delete mentions of it where found.
 
So what I am suggesting is that if these NFE Pokemon get an on-site analysis, the analysis is put in the NU tier, instead of the NFE tier.

This is already done. Every pokemon that you specifically mentioned are in the NU or UU tiers onsite. As for the lack of LC sorting, there are multiple topics already addressing this.

EDIT: Ooooooooh I missed the "other than" :x Well outside of Snover/Hippopotas, are there any other NFE's that have analyses? (besides LC of course)

Is this a response to the OP? Sorry if I'm missing something here.

It was (probably) a response to Banryu, who suggested that we start making NU analyses for viable NFE pokemon.
 
He's referring to Pokemon like Hippopotas, which is common in UU but its analysis is still under NFE, so nobody will see it.

Here's an example. It has an analysis, the analysis is geared towards UU, but it is listed in the NFE tier. Gligar is another example. While there are only a few NFEs with on-site analyses, more are being made. I recall there being Dragonair analysis and a Gabite analysis in C&C. I'm saying put these Pokemon under the NU tier instead of the NFE tier because they can be used in every tier, and they have analyses.
