Of course I would never suggest replacing the standard OU metagame with this, and players who enjoy things as they are will always have their chance to run risky strategies. This would be for those interested in seeing what Pokemon would be like completely free of luck. chuavechito had some...

Well I agree it would favour stall, but I don't think a slow-paced metagame is in itself better or worse than the fast-paced one that exists now. The idea would be to encourage planning-to-win instead of slapping Focus Blast on and hoping-to-win ;) Even so, I'm not sure it's as bad as you say...
