The oddness of standardization...

 In the world of the pokemon metagame there is always one goal: destroy the 6 pokemon on your opponent's team. Why 6? It seams that it is because it is the max pokemon you can battle with. To me it seems like 3 pokemon would be better. Why? it's used in the battle tower, on some link battles, and on the anime. My main point is it takes more strategy. I know you may be thinking WHAT, 3 POKEMON MEANS LESS STRATEGY WITH POKEMON. Actualy, it means more strategy ingame. Less battle time, especially in double battles, means more on the spot thinking. One wrong move means your down to only 1 pokemon. Just a little thing to think about.
