As a baseline, I am someone who dislikes this thread solely based on the quality of the content. Your stuff runs contrary to that, which I greatly appreciate; however, some of the content presented can come off as likewhoring more than instructive. I generally agree with the sentiment that there's a lot of Pokemon that have niches in OU and should be explored more. Kriketune is not one of them, and it has never been since it came out 17 years ago. Combine that with the additional text formatting, pictures, and memes that you add to your post, and it's easy to see why people perceive it as showboating. I personally think the backlash would go down significantly if you focused more on Pokemon that exists in like the C or D tier on the OUVR thread. You can use edge case comparisons like "Wigglytuff hard-stops Dragapult", but in the big picture it's not practical to use from a team-building perspective.
I appreciate the effort you take to explore some lesser-used Pokemon in the tier, but at the end of the day, it's still a metagame thread. Kriketune and Wigglytuff might have tools that seem usable in OU on paper, but we have historical precedence regarding their viability not just in OU but lower tiers as well. The posts don't really help further an understanding of a metagame for both seasoned and newer players.
