The way battles work right now, speed only decides who gets to go first. Every Pokemon gets an equal number of turns. In an ATB system based on speed, your speed stat would now determine how many times you get to move in battle. That doesn't seem fair, especially considering that Pokemon stats are not balanced for this type of battle system at all.
Consider a battle between Garchomp and Tyrannitar. Under normal conditions, this would be an equal matchup. Garchomp is faster and gets to move first, but Tyrannitar is bulky and can take a hit. However, in an ATB tied to speed system, the parity goes out the window. Now Garchomp gets to attack twice as often as Tyrannitar.
The bottom line is it makes no sense for speed stat to determine how many turns a Pokemon gets per battle. I think the ATB system (if it exists at all, which is unclear) will be tied to PP.
