RE: The Competitive Battling Simple Questions Thread
OU is generally the best tier for a new player to start in, because it is known as the standard meta game tier that players participate in. However, UU and NU are also fun choices to start off with, although the Pokemon found in these tiers are a little unorthodox. For example, in NU you have 1 HP Shedinja and Truant Slaking, and in UU you get Illusion Zoroark and other weird Pokemon. However, some players feel that is what makes the tiers so fun to play in, and if you're looking for something more than the standard game, try out the lower tiers. However, OU is usually the best for a newer player (although some could argue that it is complete garbage right now, an argument I choose not to participate in).
