That is one of the few reasons I never got into online Pokemon. Walling is a decent strat, sure, but when it devolves into wall mirrors, I am about as enticed as a control mirror in trading card games (aka removing the enemy's ability to end the game while waiting for your option to win). Plus it takes away too much free time - which is a weird but viable point. I won't play an hour long pokemon duel. I can maybe afford two of those games a day (and I am blessed with free time others could dream of), but then I tire of it.

But seeing as a noob, didn't Z moves and Gigamax cut down the viability of walling strategies? Granted I entered the competitive scene as audience back in 4th gen, where walling Blissey was prominent.
