>>58771550nta but
>movement speedTrue but at the same time there isn't a single mon with bad movement speed that's also not being held back by a litany of other factors, just as there's no otherwise bad mon being uplifted by fast movement
>Special attacks have a substantial disadvantage because of their long wind up relative to phys.There are plenty of meta special attackers. Ignoring Xerneas and Mewtwo due to not being legal right now, Ampharos, Clawitzer/Vaporeon, Delphox, Clefable, and Greninja were all considered perfectly viable and of the Mega Dimension additions Rotom in several forms (most notably Fan and Wash) and is also a breakout currently (as well as Lucario Z. but that doesn't work for the purpose of the argument obviously). The wind up is the price they pay for being able to attack from range, their threat area is effectively several times larger than a Melee attackers' without even compromising on bulk (at least not in ways physical attackers don't also tend to) so they needed SOME fashion of drawback.
> tracking moves like Tboltthis is fair
> many mons have terrible move distributionThis is a problem with literally every Pokemon game's comp scene, there's always plenty of mons missing out on options that'd go a long way in making them viable that GF held back on for no real reason
>the 4P FFA format sucks and it shouldn't be our only optionI disagree, but admit it's just a matter of preference. I will say that there's a reason the even the biggest fan-run tournies maintain the 4P format and 1v1s are largely a side thing without nearly as much reach.
>switching mons as a form of super protect needs nerfing to where the incoming mon takes damageThey do, if you switch the mon and they end up in the same spot the previous mon was in they'll still eat the attack. Switching is already limited to 3 per "life" and that's enough, I've never felt particularly slighted by the amount of switches an enemy had because it just means they were playing smart.
