Is it possible to have a defensive oriented gamestyle/team without resorting to stall.
Why is GF so bad at making defensive play viable? Every pokemon and type they design to have good defenses is a joke, why is this, is this on purpose? do they want hyper offense or extremely lame stall to be the only things used?

What do you consider stall? I'm not sure exactly what you mean by defensive

There is a difference between having a defensive oriented team that wins by taken less damage and doing more damage in the long run and the absolute no fun for anyone cancer that is stall
Or I sure hope there is

im pretty sure that "bulky offense" is literally one of the most popular team archetypes in smogon singles

Bulky offense is not a defensive team, it is in the name. The playstyle just affords a bit of a defensive backbone instead of 6 sweepers, making a different mindset towards building an offense needed.

No, you would do so little damage that it would be healed off by a wall.

Define how defensive play is intended to be different from stall, conceptually. Do you mean tanky mons that just don't deal DoT through hazards? You're just whining that a certain play style is suboptimal. Pokemon is extremely easy, there's nothing that requires optimized play besides Smogon memery.

You can't win in any RPG by solely tanking damage. That doesn't even make sense.
