Double Battles in HGSS - where will they be?
 
FRLG included double battles, but only for a few NPC trainers. What about HGSS? They'd have double battles with random trainers too, but there are also a few instances where double battles could be implemented, and be central to the plot. Like when you're fighting Team Rocket, Lance comes along and helps you out against a couple of admins. Wouldn't a double-battle with Lance be epic? Any other places you can think of? Perhaps against the Kimono girls, who have a notably extended role? Or with Soul at some point?

well, as you saw in the demo, double trainers will be implented, and i suspect it will just be random, you know? maybe double battles against rockets, double battles against random twins, they could do anything. though, i think we will be seeing a Lance and Soul double battle. basically, im summing up your post x3

There are some twins outside Erutreak, if I remember correctly. HG/SS is ran on Platinum's game engine, so expect more double battles

mervyn797 August 28th, 2009 4:56 AM

there should be double battles. coz everyone likes it and it is interesting.
lol, how will u double battle kimono girls. they are 5.

Slowking August 28th, 2009 5:33 AM

Yea there should be more double battles, 'cuz then I can end the match earlier XD

Tuskin August 28th, 2009 6:12 AM

probably the twins in the Azalea Gym.

solaris knight August 28th, 2009 6:34 AM

Any twins, for a start. And in a recent trailer which showed thte Rocket Hideout, the two rockets that appeared whenever you tripped the sensor in the statues appeared at the same time. An obligatory Lance double battle should be at the end of the hideout.

And there will probably be more trainers in these games than the originals, if recent releases are anything to go by.

I agree, that would be awesome.

rocklee666 August 28th, 2009 6:52 AM

omg i still just cant get over the fact that they re-doing silver and gold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They (in my opinion anyway) better than ruby/saphire/emeral and LF FR. And can compete with D/P.

but anywho, I like double battles, I hope that they do have that for the wifi. 2 friends vs 2 friends ya know. And ZOMG LANCE!!!!! that would be so frekin awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! I do hope though that they make team rocket a lil more intimidating, and hopefully a double battle with giovani n maybe one of his admins :)

MiniEggs August 28th, 2009 6:58 AM

There will definately be some double battles.

http://www.serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/pics.shtml

On there they have some pictures of the double battle over wifi. And yeah, there definately will be somewhere.

Eggie Poo Poo August 28th, 2009 7:04 AM

There will be double battles in places where there were people like "Twins ??? want to battle!" Sometimes they would do both of them separate or include them as one trainer, but now we can have double battles :). Actually I think it'll be better if we have NO double battle with Lance at the part when you guys have to team up and fight the rockets at that Voltorb room, if you don't team with him you won't get his team spoiled for you, if his team is a complete surprise it'll be better.

If you are referring the demo as the trailers shown with double battles previewed, then I must add that those were all Wi-Fi challenges shown. There haven't been any in-game double battles previewed to be within the game as yet.

However, with the new reference of the idea, and the implentation to it since RSE, then I have no doubt Double Battles will be brought into the in-game play of both Johto and Kanto. There are many different locations in which they can be implied on, but a few might be with Soul against Team Rocket, and possible Lance as well.

Stating everyone likes or enjoys double battles is an understatement, as it isn't always true. There are many major Pokémon players who prefer the original single battles over the double battles.

With confirmation from recent trailers, double battles will be brought to Wi-Fi as it was in DPPt. That is no surprise seeing as the fourth generation games, including HeartGold and SoulSilver, all run on the same frame of the way things are planned out to play.

As for Lance, it is a possibility. However, as for a double battle with or against Giovanni, that couldn't be said as yet noting how Giovanni never appeared in the original Gold, Silver, or Crystal games.

What a pointless effort to enflate your own ego, he was expressing his feelings and although what he said cannot be proved, can you name me three people onthe community who totally dislike double battles?

Bold. Filllllller!!!!!!!!

Well they have an extended role in these games, so I was thinking you might team up with one at some point.

thegeneticway August 28th, 2009 10:35 AM

I think that would be great! :)

I really like Double Battles :)

More experience points for me!

manomow August 28th, 2009 10:46 AM

I really dont like Double Battles at all, theyre too much of a hassle.

blue August 28th, 2009 10:49 AM

There we're twins in Bugsy's gym but from the new designed pictures it dosen't look like they are there, but who knows.

Tudj August 28th, 2009 2:35 PM

Well I can imagine double battles with Team Rocket, but I think there might be a few on the lead up to victory road aswell because that is like the final training stage before elite 4 ( kind of same as in D/P/PT )

why do you say that for? If you really think about it, KO's the trainers Pokemon quicker


:t354:TG

Amore August 28th, 2009 3:43 PM

Hmmm...i personally hope there's only 2 or 3 double battles in the whole game. In Emerald and D/P/Pt, which are stuffed full of them, there's only one good one in each, the one with Steven in Emerald, and in D/P/Pt, the one with ur rival.

spike6958 August 28th, 2009 4:24 PM

What comes to my mind is Lance in TR-HQ, Gold/Soul, and possibly Kurt in Slowpoke Well, i know it didn't happen in the originals but who knows, i for one would like to know what Pokémon he has.

Sakura Rain August 28th, 2009 4:39 PM

MOAR DOUBLE BATTLES PLZ

I would definitely think they'd put more double battles in. Lance in the TR-HQ, those twins outside Ecruteak. Double battles rock. ^_^

Greene1516 August 28th, 2009 4:58 PM

Well the most obvious inclusion of double battles will be all the sets of twins you battle.

beauty. proletariat August 28th, 2009 5:00 PM

I dont mind double battles.

The type of double battles I would wet the bed over would be when someone joins you to get help (e.g. Eterna Forest / Victory Road thing / Riley in DPPt) because of all that excess exp and free healing you can be sure to use your strongest moves on any pokemon without fear of PP-exhaustion; and you get full EXP :3

But apart from that, I think we will see alot of double battles, and I would like to see some in Gyms as Gym Trainers or in the E4.

Something I'm hoping (that wont happen, oviously) is that we get someone to join our team before the first gym, but that wont happen XD

Lyra. August 28th, 2009 5:42 PM

Emerald had more double battles than Ruby and Sapphire, and so did Platinum. Twins, of course, will be double battles. There were twins outside of Ecruteak, and inside Azalea Gym. I can't remember anymore places that there were twins.
