#207111 I like the idea. The battle system needs an overhaul anyway, to incorporate tripple battles, max raid battles and horde encounters.
but id prefer, if they didnt just copy the mechanics from the game 1 to 1:
3v3 battles use 3 zones for each side, when they introduced horde encounters, it they used the 3v3 system, and placed your pokemon in the middle, and gave your partner zones to the opponent, to allow 5 enemy mons to exist within its system.
This caused several problems in the interface, like when displaying, what targets a move would hit, cause the game got confused with your enemy being in an allys spot.
A system for pixelmon should be designed with these issues in mind.
Id design the system in a way, that it could theoretically allow more than six pokemon in play at the same time, so even hybrid formations between the battle types are possible, like horde encounters with more than one player pokemon, like two or 3 players sending out 1 pokemon each against a horde of 5.
