Though obviously it would work only for games with very large dexes like X/Y (possibly Platinum, USUM and SwSh especially with DLC) but you could also do the bans for half of the draft too and then keep it normal for the 2nd half.

I wasn't sure which Pokémon to box, so I boxed Pidgeot first, but only after few battles, I put it back and boxed Vivillon, because I felt Flying-type moves will be more useful. I continued to Anister and used Rotom as my main Pokémon against Olympia. The battle wasn't hard, but Rotom fainted against Slowbro, so I've used rest of my team to take care of it and rest of Olympia's team. Team Flare segment was pretty easy and I basically swept it with Lunatone and Lucario (when he wasn't KO'd. How the hell can Lucario lose to Pyroar?). I think this was the very first time in Kalos I actually had counter to Lysandre's team, especially Gyarados. When I got to Snowbelle City, I decided to change Rotom's form to Microwave, since I needed Fire-type for Wulfric. And I started wondering, why I don't have Fire-type. I was sure I had one. And then, the moment I challenged Wulric, it hit me. I also drafted Litwick! But since the battle already started and I used Litwick line in the other run I mentioned above, I decided to go just with Rotom. Anyway, Wulfric was pushover. He had no way of beating Rotom, Nidoqueen and Lucario. And so I got to the E4. Because of my masterful planning, I had Vaporeon, Lunatone and Nidoqueen against Malva, Rotom and against Siebold, Rotom, Nidoqueen and Lucario against Wikstrom and Vaporeon and Lunatone against Drasna. Pidgeot took a support role and was there mostly to set up Tailwind or to finish of something with Quick Attack. I was afraid of Diantha's Gardevoir, but I was able to get there with 5 Pokémon (Lunatone fainted right before her, after taking almost her whole team before Gardevoir down itself), so I was sure I can wear her down. I started by setting Tailwind and then almost beating it with Nidoqueen's Sludge Bomb, but Gardevoir survived with red HP and got healed with Full Restore next turn, while also beating both Pidgeot and Nidoqueen. I then sent out Vaporeon to tank hits while I revived both Pidgeot and Nidoqueen. Vaporeon was able to hurt Gardevoir a little bit with Surf, so I sent out Pidgeot next and she survived Gardevoir's Thunderbolt, set up Tailwind and hurt Gardevoir even more with Quick Attack. Nidoqueen then finished the job with another Sludge Bomb. Here's the Hall of Fame: Spoiler:
Overall I would say this was pretty entertaining run. You can probably guess that from the levels, but Lunatone was the surprisingly good. Especially once it learned Moonblast. Lucario wasn't that bad afterall, but it's still one of my least favourite Pokémon. I'm opened for more draft runs in the future.

I was able to use Pokemon I've wanted to use or never used before, and also play through a game that I have never played before since I bought my 3ds rather late and didn't really wanna drop the money for it. I did take my time during this run to explore since it was a casual draft. I think the upping the stakes for a future draft of Pokemon X/Y would be pretty necessary since it isn't as exciting if you keep getting mons you want but, I had fun overall with this team! Spoiler:
