What are these concepts? Nobody is really sure. Similar to the countless threads at just about every Pokémon forum out there asking about the "best" and "worst" Pokémon, there does not seem to be any agreement on whether this should refer to personal favorites or usefulness in competitive battling. Basically, some people call Pokémon "overrated" if a lot of people insist on using them on NetBattle but they're really no good, and some people call Pokémon "overrated" if they simply dislike them and need some excuse to do so because they can't just accept that their disliking is simply their opinion and not the Logical Stance on the Subject.

This, naturally, causes an awful lot of misunderstanding when some reply to threads about over- or underratedness in accordance with one view and some with the other. This misunderstanding is mostly expressed in "WHAT? Since when is [insert Pokémon here] over/underrated? Nobody/everybody uses/likes it!" and is often made into a cause for heavy arguing for no particular reason.

The general rule for which Pokémon are overrated is more or less that all Pokémon I like are overrated, and if they weren't already they happen to become overrated soon after I begin to express my liking for them publically. This includes Charizard, Scyther, Absol, Ninetales, and a whole host of other Pokémon which I happen to be fond of. There does not appear to be any general rule for which Pokémon are underrated, as such threads generally consist of people plugging their favorite Pokémon (provided that I do not also like said Pokémon, of course, because that makes it overrated) and other people replying with "lol, [insert Pokémon here] underrated? What are you smoking?", generally because they happen to dislike said Pokémon.

Gau is the 13 year old of D O O M. Ever heard of Wind God Gau?

"A particularly powerful strategy for Gau was so effective that it was removed from all versions of Final Fantasy VI after the original Super NES release. Equipping Gau with the Merit Award to enable him to use a wider range of equipment allows him to use the Kazekiri ("Tempest" in the Super NES translation), which has a chance to cast Wind Slash when attacking. The coding to randomly use Wind Slash is identical to the coding for casting spells when attacking that other weapons have, but is a separate mechanic, and because of this it is not disabled when using the Master's Scroll.

With this combination and the Stray Cat Rage, Gau will attack four times every turn, and each attack has a chance to use Wind Slash. Further, if Gau uses Cat Scratch, his attacks will be much stronger and the Wind Slash cast from them will also be more powerful. This allows Gau to reliably hit all enemies for maximum damage, potentially multiple times each turn. The only drawback is that the strategy is much less effective against enemies that are immune to or absorb wind-elemental damage, but very few enemies in Final Fantasy VI are. This strategy was nicknamed "Wind God Gau" by the fanbase.

The PlayStation Anthology release made Gau unable to equip the Merit Award, but the "Wind God Gau" strategy was not entirely gone, as Gogo could also do it, just less effectively since they have poorer stats and cannot equip magicite for level up bonuses to their Strength. The Game Boy Advance version made both Gau and Gogo unable to equip the Merit Award, and the mobile and Steam versions retain this."
