Whoops. Fixed it.

Thanks Pocket. Been a long time. Back when you were still using Magmars and stuff. Yeah, I still remember. Releasing just about everything concrete I can think of though (just about...), so there probably won't be a part 7. It's pretty hard to explain what's subconsciously done anyway :p. But I'm trying not to pull what I did with the first 5 installations, which was giving you guys second string info or teams. This is the real deal.

However, I did leave out some key concepts, some key beliefs that I hold purposely. The problem with releasing my ideas and concepts though, is the fact that I'm releasing my thinking. My thinking isn't always 100% accurate, and it leads to close-minded thinking if everyone were to follow it. And even if it is, it isn't the only viable form of thinking. It'd just be a bunch of mini-Borats running around playing each other with the same mindset, probably the same teams. Not cool. Or pretty cool, depending on how you see it. So you'll see a lot of generalizations being made in this guide, and they're broad and general on purpose. I want to leave room for interpretation, and by saying "so and so pokemon is bad", it would eliminate that pokemon from the scene entirely. Diversity is a big part of what makes a metagame fun, and limiting it too much by way of certain philosophies or beliefs on the way the game "should" be played, that not only eliminates the creativity and diversity in the team-building process, but it also greatly hinders metagame evolution.
