Was thinking about just doign 6vs6, NPCs and parties. Tournaments, achievements(lols) things like that too.
6v6 may be interesting.
Yes there are moves that you can use on friendly's in 2v2, and they are introducing more strategic elements with 3v3 (like positions in battle, for instance, the left-most poke on your team can't hit the right most poke on the enemy team with singe-target moves, and your middle poke can hit all 3).
There are also area attacks, like Rock Slide for example: In 2v2 it hits both enemy poke's. Then there's moves like Earthquake, which hit both enemy poke's and your second poke, unless it's immune to ground of course. There's also moves specifically designed for 2v2, like Helping Hand, which (I think) boosts the target poke's attack power.
Here's a common two-on-two strategy: Have one poke with Belly Drum and Substitute and wearing a Salac Berry, the other carrying Psych up, and maybe something that ups defenses, or a barrier move, while wearing Leftovers, and must be slower then the belly drum user. The belly drummer opens with substitute (hopefully he's faster then the other teams poke's), while his partner uses his defense upping move. The enemy team does their thing, be it attacking or what have you, and your belly drummer's substitute may have been broken, but that's okay.
This turn, you use belly drum, which brings your belly drummer to 25% health, activating Salac berry. At this point, he has a total of +6 attack, and +1 Speed. At this point, the partner uses Psych up, and copies those stat changes. Leftovers will help keep him healthy enough to sweep. At this point he proceeds to use his remaining two moves (more than likely attack moves) at +6 attack and +1 speed, giving him a pretty large window to 1hit KO most poke's in the game, even when being resisted
Obviously there's a lot that can go wrong, but Pokemon battles are all about prediction.
EDIT: A good choice for these poke's would be Jirachi; with Iron Defense, Psych up, Iron Head, and either FirePunch, IcePunch or Thunderpunch. And then Snorlax, with Belly Drum, Substitute, Crunch and Body Slam. This does open you up to a fighting weakness, but IronHead after Belly Drum 1 hit KO's every fighting type I can think of.
