It's a game with competitive multiplayer; the fact that minmaxing exists and goes unpunished (unlike say, Brawl, where most teching and attack patterns were intentionaly and noticably tweaked or removed) makes is pretty clear that you're perfectly within your rights - maybe even encouraged to go for the high-tier teams.
By that same vein, the game itelf is aware of metagame limits - a lot of multiplayer modes limit and ban what would be Ubers to metagamers.
Of course, there's nothing stopping you from not using an ideal team, and if you have fun that way (I do!); then it's all good. Just don't bitch when someone else is playing to the limits imposed by the system and you lose because you've imposed a self-handicap. If you hate that kind of person don't play against them; fucking christ. These days I swear people who whine about the trials and tribulations of 'playing the way THEY want' are now The Worst Kind of Gamer. No one cares.
