Pairing up with Lance?
 
Does anyone think that you have to pair up with Lance in Mahogany Town, to take down Team Rocket like how you pair up with Riley in d/p/p?

Artemis May 29th, 2009 3:14 PM

You know this is a good question. I don't know if we'll be able to pair up with Lance there, but I'm sure we might be able to pair up with a few trainers seeing as how well it was done with DPPt.

stands a chance, the two person in game double battle started in emerald and has been in every game since, so more than likely it will be you and Lance with pre-evolved pokemon of his later in game team

My friend and I actually talked about this months ago back in August, when we were talking about a G/S/C Remake. XD

I would love to pair up with Lance in Mahogany Town~ At least for that fight with the two admins. That part is definitely a time to do so, and it's not like they'll be reveiling his Pokemon, considering that he did have Dragonite follow and attack on the screen during the whole thing in the original.

It really wouldn't make sense if they did it like the original okay. it could. but I want it to be a double battle plzkthnxbye.

Meganium Ex May 29th, 2009 3:17 PM

Probably. No reason not to implement it.

Keyaki May 29th, 2009 3:22 PM

that would be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

Ayselipera May 29th, 2009 3:43 PM

I would think so since he fights
along side you in the game, but
since there weren't any double
battles at the time you never see
his battle. I think it might be alot
like when we were able to fight
along side Steven at the spacestation
in Emerald.

there weren't any double battles in Generation I either, but we have double battles in FR/LG

Ayselipera May 29th, 2009 3:47 PM

Im saying we will see double battles and that
it will be alot like the battle at the spacestation
when you team up with Steven.

lilninjapig May 29th, 2009 4:22 PM

He'll probably have a weaker version of one of the Pokemon in his team when you battle him in the Elite Four. For example, a Dratini.

More like Dragonair, with atleast 1 Dragonite

altaria221 May 29th, 2009 4:25 PM

if he keeps his same team from pokemon gold, silver and crystal he will probably have a dragonair, a charmeleon, and a gyarados

What are you, writing a poem? typing like that is just plain annoying to read.

Besides, if he was a partner instead, that'd just make the whole hideout easier.

Lance wouldn't be a partner like Riley, he'd most likely act like Steven did in Emerald; just one double battle.

Retro Bug May 29th, 2009 4:34 PM

If he did I would like that, I've always thought that he should. I was playing Silver the other day, and it was like "wtf why isn't he battling with me!" Because I've forgetton that.

Artemis May 29th, 2009 4:38 PM

I think it would be cool to have him as a partner for the time being. Emerald never did that with Steven, so they could change it up a bit this time for the GSDS remakes. Seeing as there were two admins back then, it would make the battle seem more leveled out for the playing field and yes, make it a lot easier in the hideout.

Pokedra May 29th, 2009 4:40 PM

I think you'll take the hideout alone but team up with him for the admin battle.

charlulz1993 May 29th, 2009 5:07 PM

Sounds good to me. It would be great if they added that in this.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ May 29th, 2009 5:55 PM

It sounds like a good idea and I really would love that but there isn't enough info to determine that


:t354:TG

blueblur155 May 29th, 2009 5:58 PM

That would be AWESOME!! (you know, if nintendo actually decides to put it in the game)

BHwolfgang May 29th, 2009 6:02 PM

Even though the player and Lance did 'team-up' against Team Rocket in GS, he/she didn't really 'tag-teamed' with him.

Ooo! I would so love if we can double-battle with Lance against the final Team Rocket members, like how it was done in Emerald with Steven. <3

Yeah, since double battles weren't devised back then, it wasn't an actual double battle, even though it was supposed to be one. It's more like two separate battles happening side by side.

But as much as I'd love to see this turn into an actual double battle with Lance just like with Steven in emerald there's also another problem.
If he battles alongside me, his Pokemon are supposed to be lower-leveled, and in the cutscene, he has a Dragonite.
First of all, his Dragonite is already seeming to be hacked, and if it is at level 28 and still a Dragonite, then I have nothing to say.

Well then, if they do implement this idea, then maybe it'll be a good sign that they'll raise the levels for everyone in the game. Also, I wouldn't expect him to have a Dragonite by then anyway, more likely a Dragonair like some have stated before me.

Sweet Smoochum May 30th, 2009 6:52 AM

That would be so awesome to see! <3 I would love to have a double battle with him. That would be an honor. It would be like having a double battle with Cynthia, but better! (I know we didn't double battle w/ Cynthia in DPPt.) I wouldn't mind if he traveled with me throughout that Rocket place. ;) But even if that's only for the tag-team Rocket Admin battle, I'd be okay with that, too. XD

OokamiShipper May 30th, 2009 6:58 AM

Ooh, that'd be like a dream come true~ *fangirl moment*

It was too bad we never got to do anything as exclusive as that with Cynthia, but there's just a possibility that we'll get the chance with Lance. Especially knowing that Double Battles were introduced afterwards and this is one way of putting it into good use for the remake.
