This point was explored more fully in the Twitch Plays Pokemon community, where anarchy vs. democracy in the game caused a significant cultural crisis: http://www.reddit.com/r/twitchplayspokemon/comments/1y8r6d/i...

tl;dr: anarchy produces all the fun crazy ridiculous happenings, it's what makes TPP fun. If it's "taking too long" and you want to beat the game quickly just play solo; beating the game fast isn't the point.
