So... I've never actually been that great at Pokemon. I mean, I hold my own playing the game and whatever, but sometimes when playing against my friends, I get destroyed. Laughably.
My friends invited me to a Pokemon tourney that they are hosting after HGSS comes out. I figured, why not, the worst is I get thoroughly embarrassed. XP The tourney is divided into three sections... there are OU, UU, and NU sections. Pokemon are expected to be level 100. For one reason or another, no legendaries are allowed. I was wondering if you pros out there could give me a few tips on how to improve the teams I've set up:

I realize that one of my biggest faults is that I favor physical attack over special attack, but that was more coincidental as when I was first picking the Pokemon from each tier, I was just choosing ones that I liked and that varied in typing. I'm not sure what to do about that issue without completely changing my teams. s;
Anyways, if anybody could please give me some constructive criticism that I can work with, I'd really appreciate it. I really wanna surprise my friends and not be a complete failure this time around. ;p
Thanks in advance!
