>>21082951The other clauses don't make this specific clause wrong or inappropriate.
Regardless, an Item Clause would have prevented since the real beginning, useless stall wars since Gen2 era until the current Gen6 one.
The lack of the item clause has basically created a pseudo full stall team strategy based on Leftovers, has made Baton Pass more viable generation by generation and lately as also helped offensive teams allowing more than one same choiced item per team.
I can agree on the fact that with the Item Clause we would see more offensive and balanced teams that can rely on a massive ammount of items to choose from compared to plain stall teams but the offensive and balanced teams themselves would be much easier to handle that way.
Maybe I wasn't that clear but I hope you got the point on how and what the meta would like with the Item Clause.
