None of the things you suggest would actually make that experience better. They'd make battles worse and add to the already bad power creep by further invalidating most of the cast of playable monsters with an overfocus on speed, they'd make multiplayer unbearable, they'd just make the 1 v 1 battles Pokemon uses a slog, and it'd invalidate multiple play styles.
It doesn't address problems Pokemon has it just says "Make it like Final Fantasy." It's beyond fucking retarded. Pokemon needs better interactivity with the Pokemon/non-battle activities, presentation for it's turn based battles, and detailed exploration. ATB doesn't contribute to any of that, nor does shifting all battles away from 1V1.
