Totally throws out the balance of the game, no support.

I don't get it.

The battle system and moves were designed around one status effect at a time. A multiplayer battle system will probably be added at some point, and this requires a balanced battle system.

Hmm, good point. What if we just allow, only, 2 status effects at once?

Yeah, but I assumed OP meant the 'major' effects (like sleep, poison, etc.) that don't disappear when you withdraw the pokemon, and that are mutually exclusive.
Against. This'd be OP in battles by a long shot. Not to mention it givesa greater feeling of satisfaction to finally catch that poke after having thrown x amounts of pokeballs, with red hp & sleep/paralyzed/poison on it (just one of them). Having 2 or more "major" status such as paralyze or poison would also likely need a reconfigure of the catching system (add rate by number of status) and if you could pile them on, it's concievable you could catch a lvl.50+ with a pokeball at full hp (within about 20 turns, compared normal stat likelyhood being like 2%). Basically, it'd be overpowered.
none of those are the status effects, the thread is about poison, sleep, frozen, burned, fainted, paralyzed. confusion etc is a status effect in the rpg sense too but those work on different rules, and yes, they're broken. sorry
