The only difference from now and then is that people dont have Ash Jobbem IQ and know the types and strengths they can utilize, and which mons are best in a situation. Even kids pick up on this shit.
2v2 format changed how you approached the game, and opened up strategic value to what you had on the field.
Of course Game Freak are too stupid to make AI that dont just check your mons and then pick the best move to hit your weaknesses, so this is literally a never ever thing and you best get used to mediocrity.
