I've seen this come up a few times recently, and it's something that I'm not even 100% sure on when it comes to GSC rules. I'm pretty sure Freeze Clause does not exist in standard GSC, but respected players have told me both ways. There doesn't seem to be a complete consensus on this, but regardless of whether or not Freeze Clause is the official standard, we should decide if it's something we want.
Currently, the only other gen with Freeze Clause is RBY, where you can't thaw out randomly and there are no cleric moves. That said, freezes are arguably a lot more devastating in GSC's defensive metagame than later gens, and they're mechanically harsher because you can't attack on the turn you thaw. The question is whether or not it's worth breaking cartridge mechanics to prevent concurrent freezes in GSC.
I'm gonna tag a few peeps that'll probably be interested in discussing this, sorry whoever I miss / if I tagged you and you don't care~
