Many of these Pokémon that were banned are familiar faces from previous generations, so you kind of know what to expect when a suspect test about them occurs. We've had many suspect tests throughout the generations for many tiers, but OU always seems to get the most attention, and this couldn't be truer in Generation VI. After discussion goes on for long enough, a voting period begins, tallying the votes of those that have laddered enough to earn voting rights so that they can decide the fate of the suspect. When a Pokémon is too powerful for the tier it's in to handle, it undergoes a suspect test, which is where players discuss and express their opinions and experiences of a Pokémon that is thought to be too powerful for a tier to handle. Throughout the history of competitive battling, tiers have always been the great divide that separated the boys from the men, so to say, and have given Pokémon chances to shine in their respective tiers.
