I don't think that Breloom is that much of a problem. It has several counters that are all good Pokemon by themselves (Latias, Breloom, Gengar, and Xatu come to mind), and the concept of sleep fodder (again, Pokemon with Natural Cure, Sleep Talk, or Magic Bounce, or the least useful member of your team) or preparation for sleep (Heal Bell / Aromatherapy) is something that is alien to newer players. A well-played Breloom can take out a third of a team, but again, there's too many counters for it to sweep 6-0 against the majority of teams. I think the status quo is fine, to answer Super Mario Bro's question.
