The choice items, berries, focus sash, life orb, etc. all radically alter how Pokemon fight, even the same species of Pokemon. You have to have two entirely different strategies if you are fighting something with a Choice Band than you would if it were holding a Life Orb and being able recognize the difference and adapt accordingly. The type split didn't really fundamentally alter strategy so much as it just made different Pokemon relevant.
