>>46673017The sheer amount of ignorance in this post. First of all, traditional stall plays to win, not to make your opponent quit. You know smogon has outright banned strategies designed to waste time, right? The object of stall as a playstyle is to wear down your opponent's Pokemon while taking as little damage as possible. With that in mind, it becomes a playstyle much more suited to time limits despite what stupid cunts such as yourself think. Because in the timespan of 20 minutes, a full stall team is much more likely to remain more intact than a non-stall team, and therefor would be declared the winner. Furthermore, since there are no actual competitive clauses akin to Smogon's, one could very easily design a team built to KO a single Pokemon and then stall out a battle until the timer runs out. On top of all of this, the timer is prohibitive even for non-stall teams. If it's at the point where most battles in your format end in a time out, then that format is basically unplayable.
Also anyone with half a brain knows the reason stall doesn't exist in VGC is because doubles punishes stalling as whole. It's a completely different game trying to stall out two Pokemon at once rather than going one on one.
