I think it may be neccessary, but I think higher at about 100-105. It is very hard to throw a complete game in 85 pitches. And it takes away from the pitchers strategy, YOU CAN'T WASTE ANY PITCHES!!!! If I am pitching I want to be able to throw some pitches to try to get batters to chase, with the new rules you are basically throwing one pitch away. On an 0-2 count you shuldn't throw anything hitable but it is always on your mind that you have to keep your pitch count low.
I also think they should be able to finish out the inning. Like if you have a no-no or perfect game going at least go to the end of the inning, because if you are getting pounded in that inning chances are you will be taken out anyway. I remember a night that I was off and threw between 155-165 pitches and walked 11 batters in 5 innings, no way I should hve stayed in, so that is why I think there should be a limit but either 100-105.

The rule basically has two different reasons.
#1 - The most important is the kids health.
#2 - To develope more kids.

As far as wasting pitches..It averages out to be 14 pitches an inning. So that would allow you 5 extra pitches per inning. If a kid puts the ball in play earlier than 3 pitches then you would have more to waste. I can say this though..Paintsville LL adapted the rule last year and to my knowledge we have seen zero pitching related injuries. Like Ring'em Up said earlier. "these days, 115 or so is a benchmark for MLB".
That being said. I don't think it would hurt for them to up the count by 5 or 10 pitches tops. That would top you Big League out at 125, Senior at 115 and Junior at 105. That would be about right on with the MLB standards.
Something else that would help would be to limit the amount of true breaking balls thrown per game.
