OP, it's been tried several times. It never works. The fact of the matter is that Smogon's way is the best way to do single battling. There's a reason why their system has been in use since Gen 1.
>>17039147>>17039422You should look up budgetmons because that's exactly what you're describing. Everyone ends up playing with 1 OP legendary + 5 weak supporters, because that's the best strategy. Pokemon is not the sort of game where this system works.
>>17039508Tiers are the best way to do things, really. Otherwise, outclassed Pokemon would never see any competitive use. No reason to use something like Linoone when Arceus outclasses it in every way. And honestly there's not that many arguments about tiering system. Most of the arguments come from people who don't know a thing about competitive play and just want to complain about it to be contrarian.
