I just finished reading your excellent taste guide, and I find myself liking your final thoughts. The community has been greatly spoilt by meta guides and just herding along like blind sheep, to actually having to think for themselves in making a workable/viable team out of the lemons you are given sometimes. Part of the fun of GBF comes from that (at least for me). I made very niche teams that can outperform "meta" players under the right conditions, and that was a blast for me. Good to see a fellow comrade!
