Well, according to Bulbapedia, it's Black Kyurem that's OU, while White Kyurem is Uber, and while I think both deserve to be Uber Tier (for a wide array of different reasons), my main point was that it's ridiculous to classify Kyurem's 2 different Forms in different Tiers as the differences (IMO) aren't significant enough to make Black Kyurem classified in a lower Tier than White Kyurem.

Like I said, I understand why they did it, I just don't agree with the conclusion they came to, based upon my own personal experience of using Black Kyurem in Battle Spot Battles, against (what I assume were) reasonably skilled opponents, using all Legendary Teams.
(There are obviously pleny of Newbs who do Battle Spot Battles, as well, but I've successfully used Black Kyurem against people who seemed to know what they were doing, and I don't feel that White Kyurem would've been better in most of those situations.)

And yeah, lol, I figured they weren't talking about Suicune.
(They obviously weren't talking about the Fully Evolved Gen 1 Starters, or Pikachu, either, despite the fact they were all Game Mascots, as well.)

And actually, that's a Good Idea!

There's quite a few people here I'd trust to do that for me, and (assuming she'd be willing to) I'd be willing to have my fellow Dragon Master (and Multi Battle Partner) acidAPPLE Battle on Showdown for me.
(Now I just gotta come up with a Team for her, lol!)

Yeah, I'm trying to be pretty loose about this, especially considering they're gonna be Multi Battle Tournaments.
(It might be hard for everyone to find a Teammate.)

And according to Bulbapedia, every single Legendary Pokémon that's been a Game Mascot (meaning the ones I refer to as "Major Legendaries", although Suicune was the Mascot for Crystal, and IDK what Tier it is) is Uber Tier (which you said the Pseudo-Legendary Dragons, like Dragonite, Salamence, and Garchomp are, as well) except for Black Kyurem, which is (according to Bulbapedia) classified as OU Tier, rather than Uber.

IMO, that's crazy, and while I understand why it's that way (assuming that Bulbapedia is accurate), I don't agree with that Tier allocation, and I never will.

And yeah, I can access Smogon's Site, and I probably will, before I go mouthing off about their Tiering System again, lol!
(I'm pretty sure they've got a lot of interesting stuff on their Website, especially for a Hardcore Pokémon Weeb Fan like myself.)

And yeah, lol, Showdown is basically designed for Tournaments (and for Battling in general), so it'll definitely be a lot faster (and simpler) than all of this crazy Multi Battle stuff I'm trying to do, lol!
(Although it sucks how I won't be able to participate in that one.)

Yeah, I'll give everyone as long as they need to prepare, as I don't want anyone who wants to participate to be left out, or not get a chance to prepare.
(TBH, I'd be willing to wait several months, if I felt it was necessary.)

And yeah, I based my view of the Smogon Tiering System entirely upon Bulbapedia's Wiki Page on Pokémon Tiers, and was particularly bothered by the way Black Kyurem was classified.
(I'll never agree with that, but I was wrong to diss their entire Tiering System based on that one decision alone.)

And yeah, I'll definitely look into Smogon more, because they sound like my kinda people, actually.
(I even used their method for manually figuring out your SID in the Gen 3 and 4 Games, and have a Link to their Page on that in the External Links Page in my Group.)

And yeah, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to do a 5th Tournament on Showdown, and let Dedode handle it.
(Even though it wouldn't be a Multi Battle Tournament like the others, it'd still be Cool.)

Yeah, I'll have to figure that out before I start anything big like a Tournament, lol.

And yeah, I was definitely WAY too hard on Smogon, even though I'm still not a huge Fan of their Tiering System.
(I just prefer more Simplistic Rules, and more Complex Battles, that's all.)

And what about the Official VGC run by the Pokémon Company itself?
(That was the first kind of Pokémon Competition I ever heard about, before I even knew what Smogon was.)

And because of what you just said, I've decided I will be doing 4 Tournaments: a Gen 4 one, a Gen 5 one, a Gen 6 one, and a Gen 7 one.
(Even though I'm pretty sure most of the DSi users here have Gen 5, it's not like it hurts to add a Gen 4 Tournament into the mix.)

And yeah, leaving out Multi Battles (and Triple Battles, Rotation Battles, Battle Royals, and Inverse Battles) is kinda lame, IMO, but I still think Showdown is Cool.
(The way I see it is they've got plenty of room for improvement.)
