>>56229343I think it'd work in the sense of official battles, wherein you can still carry around 6 pokemon but you have to select a fixed number as your competition team for the Gym, but it'd be more annoying than challenging generally.
I think to increase the challenge as you're suggesting the Gym trainers and leaders ought to have more, stronger pokemon and the Gym challenge should be a all-in affair; leaving the Gym will reset the trainers effectively.
I'd say a soft level cap would work easier (exp gains after the cap diminish, getting worse the further afield you get.)
