5th Gen Triple Battles vs Rotation Battles

[Ω Ruby and α Sapphire]

Triple battles, purely because competitivly rotatio battles are a mess. Most of a normal battle is based of luck, opponents first pokemon, criticals, misses, unexpecte stat rises, switching ect, but in rotation battles you cant even have a real stratergy, which takes near to none stratergy to win

Haven't really battled often in Triple and Rotation Battles, though I prefer Triple battles since they are essentially an extension to Double Battles. It's challenging to concentrate on the opponent's three Pokemon at once. A lot happens in each turn with six Pokemon using a move each.

I thought that the rotation system was clunky and horrible. The trip battle system is much nicer and smoother.

Sometimes less is more.​

I think I prefer triple battles more just because I have White and they feature more prominently in it. xD

Besides, rotations seem to be very similar to normal battles, just with switching being a free actions. Triple battles just, I dunno, seem more unusual and therefore more entertaining.

I dont really like either one of them. Double battles were even a stretch. But thats just my opinion.

Triple Battles. I like it because it seems reminiscent of a Battle Royale from the Rumble games.

I personally prefer Triple Battles because when fighting in Rotation Battles you can't use combos like Earthquake+Flying-Type/Leviate and if your trying to target 1 opponent they annoyingly switch...

I am not really a big fan of either, but I like triples the better out of the two. Rotation is just plain weird if you think about it, anime-wise.

Ah, well I actually like Rotation battle quite a lot. Makes things unpredictable some times, but for me it's really fun to think out all the possibilities and strategize what the next move will be, especially for my battle style when I play with those rules.

I really don't like either. Rotation battles are confusing, and Triple Battle are just too complex and too much is going on. Doubles is better.

 

[Quixote]

I think they should have stopped at double.

Me and my group of friends pretty much adopted the rotation battles as our group battle system of choice. We love the extra layer of prediction it gave us, and made battles all the more exciting.

I think triple battles are... strange. Maybe it's just because I could never get the hang of them. :P

I prefer triple, because I'm probably double battles biggest fan haha. Rotation is fun too, but I dislike the fact that I have three Pokemon on the field and can't use them as collaboratively as I can in a triple or double battle. But both are very enjoyable and add to the series, I think. However, I was disappointed with how they were hyped up and there are only a few in the game. But then thinking back to Ruby and Sapphire when double battles were introduced, there weren't a lot of them either. In Emerald, they were EVERYWHERE. You had the ones from RS still there, the ones you walked into, gyms designed specifically to trigger them, and even gym leader rematches that were double battles. They shoved it in your face, which I personally love, but I'm sure most fans didn't like. So what I hope to find in Grey is that we have more triple battles. I'd LOVE to walk between three people and trigger one honestly. I know I hated in Emerald where you could walk between three people and only trigger a double...lol See, I was wanting triple battles before generation IV was even here, let alone V!

I liked the rotation battles more. Just the concept behind it really intrigued me.
