What would the implications be if every pokemon had protect as a fith move and it didnt tie down a slot would it break the game?

If that's the case then you'd have to completely change how the move works.

I don't really feel it would break the game more as it would HEAVILY favor the defending strats over dps. It would make Pokemon a more defensive game than it already is

The game becomes even more of a drag.

Stalling becomes much easier.

Only if you reduce its base pp and delete shit like Kings Shield,etc.

It would break the game, if protect did not change. Imagine substitute/leech seed/leftovers stalling, with 2 more moves PLUS protect. Hell, everything that runs sub would just use protect every few turns to maximize leftovers recovery. It would be a complete slog. Ingame would likewise be tedious to a frustrating degree, having to wait for something to protect every battle before steamrolling.

Not to mention doubles would be even more of a shitshow

Most RPGs give you a "guard" option so it would need to change how the move worked to reduce damage instead of negating it.

Also most RPGs that include this have you battle with multiple party members, so a game that included this would have to forgo Singles or else it would be more of a chore to go through

Then how would Stance Change work? Just activate with Protect?

It would indeed break the game.
Charge moves, for example, become utterly useless.
