The only reason we haven't done that is because the game is streamlined to be 1v1 format for "legal" battles, but completely misses the mark with nefarious individuals honoring those same rules.
Like honestly, if Team Flare in X/Y used Horde Battle mechanics, I would find that much more amusing to me.
There has been no difficulty in 1v1 fights since Gen 5, and Gen 4 is the cutoff purely because of Cynthia being such a fucking brick wall for a lot of people.
