Competitive Pokémon is a complete joke, anyway, so any autism debating whichever format is the "better" one is just that: autism. Hax delegitimizes any notion of the game being well-rounded, because a player can have their win condition revoked simply because the other player got a good dice roll. Removing paralysis, >2-turn sleep duration, critical hits, and random-chance secondary effects such as status, flinching, or stat boosts would only serve to improve the game: it feels good when you get them, but it feels so much fucking worse when the other guy does, instead. Fuck that.
