That way, every player wont have to settle for the same strategy in beating the same 6 pokemon everyone else has already beaten. I do think that there should be a small chance of a surprise abberation every now and then.
Ex. Water gym leader has a small chance, every other battle, in calling out a pokemon with fire moves (since water's apparent weaknesses are psychic & and grass).
Doing something like this would rid of players single-mindedly entering a gym with stacked single attribute teams and advocate a little creativity when entering a gym.

Or they could have a Sharpedo against all of the psychic pokemon, a Whiscash against all the electric type pokemon and a Ludicolo against grass.
This would keep the water gym true to its name and give them neutral resistance against all its major weaknesses.

At times, yes, one pokemon can go on a win streak. Say it's your starter. Now, you got half of your badges with this one pokemon. You head on to the next gym, but hey, this gym holds a type strong on your pokemon, and guess what? Your move pool just cannot take the pokemon in one hit or two, before your pokemon gets down. And then there is the balance team ensuring that any pokemon can beat any other pokemon. Well, you'll be 'blocked' on this gym leader if you're not well prepared. (You won't know which type the Leader has until you go up to him/her, well, unless someone else tells it to you.)

Yeah true, if you're stupid enough to only train one pokemon.. But as I wrote in another post, you can easily make a 3-pokemon-combo, that counters every kind of combination. Fire-Lightning-psychic for example... There's no combination of pokemon that can beat 3 strong pokemon of those types.. Fire is usually good at everything, but it's weak against water. Lightning beats water, but is weak against rock etc. Pyschich is great against everything, especially rock types..
So what can beat a combo like that??
My point is. In the original handheld games, If you have 6 lvl 45 pokemon against 1 lvl 55-60ish, the lvl 60 pokemon wins, because it 1shot K.O.'s everytime. It rarely even matters what types it is.. But the sum of the experience points of the one who only had 6 pokemon, is clearly larger then the sum of the guy who only trained 1 pokemon.. Is that fair? no way.
If two people have the exact same sum of exp over all their pokemon; logic dictates that, the one who distributes it evenly over the most pokemon, should have the advantage because he has more viable moves than the other. It's not hard to make one pokemon and spam 1-2 spells.
It requires much more gamesense to make great combos, and great gamesense has to be rewarded in a competitive enviroment, otherwise the game dies.
I'm a strategist, I've been playing turn-based and -RTS's my entire life. I'm not in this for the roleplaying. So I refuse to play a game where all I have to do is spam nukes without thinking. Turn-based strategi games should be mindgames!
