First of all, I don't know if this thread is better meant for policy review or the Pokemon Showdown forum, so if a mod needs to move this please do.
A month ago, I was playing for day 2 of a regional in a game 3. Landorus-I vs encore Whimsicott, and I find myself in a position where I have to protect my Landorus to survive the hit from the ally as I knock said ally out with my other slot. I then find myself in a Landorus vs Whimsicott 1v1. I get encored into protect, and thanks to a couple of double protects, I manage to run out of protect PP, ending my encore, and I knock out the Whimsicott when I was one moonblast away from a knockout. The only reason that was possible? I didn't bother to use 3 PP ups on my Landorus' protect before the tournament. I ran out of protect 4 turns early because of it. 2 PP ups and I lose the game 3 and my tournament run ended. Which also means... if this game was on Showdown, where all PP is maxed by default, my tournament run also ended here.
Obviously this was a 1 in 50,000 type of game. It makes me think though, that PP ups should be customizable on Showdown to match cart accuracy. Obviously the highest amount of PP on a move would be the default, but adding an option that looks like this really does no harm and only good to account for those 1 in 50,000 type games.
Here's what it could look like roughly:
