I once made a fairly successful thread during early 4th gen about how non-English speaking countries approach their standard metagames. Many of them had different and interesting rules, and the Japanese players in particular are known for using UU and "gimmicky" sets successfully. There was at least one ruleset in 4th gen where Dugtrio was considered their equivalent of Uber! I think other ones had restrictions on how many base 600 Pokemon (e.g. Dragonite, Tyranitar, etc.) you could have on your team.
What has changed in 5th and 6th gen for non-Smogon rulesets and strategies?
I considered putting this in "Other Metagames", but this is about other STANDARD tiers, so I placed it here.
P.S.: I can read Spanish decently (I even play Pokemon X in that to practice), but I don't know where the "competitive" Pokemon forums are for that language.
I only found one that looked remotely like what I had in mind, and you had to sign up to view the pages, and I didn't feel like doing that.
