Rudeness much, Dr. Dude?
I agree with Kenzie here.
Just change NFE to "All other Pokemon not on the list"
blah blah ;P as you can see i might be a bit quick tempered some times :P the point is just that it took me a long time to copy that list manually, and i get voted down because of small details like that.. so, I'm sorry if i seemed mean there but, 2 down votes for saying "pokemons that isn't fully evolved" is just...
2? I upvoted. o3o
You didn't have to write a huge list, anyway. A link to Smogon would have actually been better, and it would have prevented those small quirks. Seriously, though.... Please be respectful.

Ubers, NU, and UU are tiers in competitive battling, designed to make the metagame more interesting and fair. Tiers are managed by Smogon. You can see all the Pokemon in each tier as of Generation 5 (they're still figuring out Generation 6) here: http://www.smogon.com/bw/tiers/
