Fortunately I noticed the crash and fixed that code that had been broken for four years...

Okay, so I know that this will probably get rejected, but lemme cook
Poképong
Basically, attacks don't deal damage when they are used .
Instead, they deal damage when the target doesn't have/use a move equal to or higher than the BP of the incoming attack, OR if the attacker misses/ lands into an immunity (like crash damage) so they receive it instead.
If you 'return' the attack now that attack goes towards the opponent, w 10% of the base power of the previous attack added (so say I used CC on my opponent, and they use overheat, that CC adds 12BP to the attack); additionally, side effects accumulate as well.
The fun bit about this meta is that strong attacks with heavy drawbacks will have to be used, as well as boosting abilities.
Also maybe it would be a doubles meta but idk how that would work.

Level Points
Basically, a Pokemon's level has to equal the combined max PP of all it's moves.
This would be an interesting metagame because the most powerful attacks are all lower PP, and the garbage ones (I'm looking at you, splash) have the highest PP. This would lead to more diverse movesets with "Usually Useless Moves" getting used more often for higher levels.
Yes, the level can go above 100.

New idea, although a little bit inspired from some previous comments in the thread :
A1 : Yes, they do. While being used, the percent of lost points is the same. This also includes lower percent as for Clangorous Soul or Substitute, as well as Leech Seed, Salt Cure, Curse, Nightmare, hazards, poison, confusion, burn, etc... recovery moves are, of course, also affected.
Q2 : Do I lose if I use suicide moves ?
A2 : Yes, you do. Any suicide moves unavoidably lead to one's loss, so they have no more interest in battle, except for trolling.
Do you see other matters I should talk about in the Q&A ?
I just photoshop-ed official artworks, any propositions from talented artists are welcome too ;)
MEGAZORD BATTLE
Premise :
HP and PP merge, giving one single and common "reservoir" for each team.Rules :
This new HP-and-PP mixed count starts more or less high depending on the number of Pokemon, their HP and PP in one player's team. Each time a Pokemon uses a move or receives damages, the value drops ; when it recovers, the value increases. This takes into consideration new properties :- Pokemon can now use any moves as much as they want and as long as there are points left ;
- Each move consumes automatically 1 point, 2 points against Pressure users ;
- If a team is left with 1 point, using a move will make the team faint all at once, no matter which Pokemon is sent in battle. PP being prior to moves execution, it will end the game even in case of Recover, Slack Off, Wish, etc.

Q&A :
Q1 : Do moves like Belly Drum/Fillet Away halve the amount of points one's team get ?A1 : Yes, they do. While being used, the percent of lost points is the same. This also includes lower percent as for Clangorous Soul or Substitute, as well as Leech Seed, Salt Cure, Curse, Nightmare, hazards, poison, confusion, burn, etc... recovery moves are, of course, also affected.

A2 : Yes, you do. Any suicide moves unavoidably lead to one's loss, so they have no more interest in battle, except for trolling.

UPDATE: Hi all, this is a baby OM now and we're looking for council. You can DM me (Dawn's Piplup on Showdown too and accomplish on discord), if you're interested in joining or for more info.
How would Leppa berry work?
