[DISCUSSION] Don't you just love the salt of battle spot?

Better them leave, than to put the ds on the table and do something else while you sit there... waiting for them to move... until you win... It's not like if they leave or disconnect that your battle isnt counted as a win.

Forcing someone to stay in a situation where leaving is better does nothing but aggravate a community. An angry community is a toxic community. Saw it personally on good ol' black ops 2, the community lashed out so hard they ended up making the trigger for the punishment so hard to get that it might as well not have been there. I was one of them because of getting matched into games where my team has 70 points and one team mate, and the other at 180 full team all mic'ed up and getting punished for leaving an obvious loss is (insert favored explitive here),. For pokemon, I don't want to say, bring my OU team to a guy that brought his legit 6 shiny arceus, and just stay there. I'd much rather leave, and find a more fair game. I do see the point of having such a mechanic however. People leaving a game because they intimidated a wigglytuff twice and now its sweeping them is fairly annoying, but the freedom to go as I please is much better.
