Mm, it's something I've been into for a long time now. Well, only since a ways into Generation III, but it's long enough.

I've also taken up building competitive teams in-game recently. Using Kamen Rider Blade and the wonders of randomness obtained from a pack of cards as a nicknaming medium, I'm making nine teams: two NU, two UU, two uber, three standard. Starting with my trusty OU team I am, and out of boredom I'll post my progress on this journal; watch this space if you're interested somehow.

The tiers have changed dramatically, and now, I think they may have settled down enough for me to edit my team combinations accordingly. Some of my already-existing pokeymans needed category changes, too.
