3 on 3 BATTLES!!!!
 
According to Serebii 3 on 3 battles have been confirmed!! What do you think about it?

Tyrantrum June 27th, 2010 4:50 PM

I think it's freakin' amazing. :D I've wanted 3 on 3 battles since.... D/P, I think? idk... but this game is going to be amazing. I can't wait to hear more about it!

Volroc June 27th, 2010 4:50 PM

i tihnk its beyond FONTASTIC!!!!!

i already know im gonna make a triple battle team :D

linkinpark187 June 27th, 2010 5:08 PM

I think back to the old saying of "Two's Company, Three's a Crowd". I personally think that it's a horrible idea. So long as there isn't a bunch of 3 on 3 battles, I'll be OK with it. But I really don't think it's a good idea.

Brendonwii June 27th, 2010 5:19 PM

Its the worst idea ever!!!!
Why... why would they make it double battles are epic no more needed.
Whats next pokebrawls?

dieter57 June 27th, 2010 5:26 PM

sigh.....
two many pokemon....
although, my aggron, tyranitar, exploud trio will destroy all, it's just not the same.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 27th, 2010 5:28 PM

Wow there is lot's of whining on this...I like the idea :)

austin00081 June 27th, 2010 5:31 PM

They should have left it with 2 on 2. 3 on 3 is like, half of your team, where's the fun in that?

It's a bad feature, that i'm gonna try to avoid in the game, but im sure there will be mandatory 3 on 3 battles.

funny enough, i call it an opinion :)

Silhouette June 27th, 2010 5:36 PM

I have been waiting for triple battles for ages... probably since Ruby & Sapphire. Can't wait to see how they are played.

A Pixy June 27th, 2010 7:03 PM

If it keeps going, all of your team will be out at once.

That'd be kinda cool. o3o

aggreed i think its horrible idea

A mixed reaction.

Upon hearing about it:

"OMFG!!!! Triple battles?!!! That's insane!!!............................................................................................oh wait, won't that mean a more crowded screen and less exp per pokemon? Neva mind! D: "

I can't wait to see it in action :D.

BeachBoy June 27th, 2010 7:56 PM

Update: I'd like to apologize, I locked this thinking it'd be fine in the general update thread, but let's be honest, this alone can offer so much to talk about. I'm not perfect, so I'm gonna reverse this call and leave this open, it's a big deal. Have fun.

*unlocks*

This would make competitive battling a mess but it should be fun in game.

Niprop June 27th, 2010 9:19 PM

Some of you people need to play more RPGs. There are games where you have to control 4 characters at once, and you have more then 4 moves to choose from! And that was for the majority of the game, too!

Of course, with the size of Pokémon sprites, I could see where 2 Wailords and Kyogre could crowd the screen...


Another issue would be move reduction. Earthquake looses 25% power in double battles, and if it loses even more power in a triple battle, well, one of the best moves ever just turned worse then Dig.

fireyboy345 June 27th, 2010 9:24 PM

i like the idea of having blastoise, charizard, and venisaur out at the same time

i totally agree with that, i hope it isnt allowed in competitive tho...

Penutz June 27th, 2010 9:29 PM

It will be alright. But i dont want it to be a major part in the story. Perhaps a battle fronteir thing or something

Weber June 27th, 2010 9:54 PM

im very mixed on this one, mainly because i dont have a dsi xl, and 3v3 could be a pain in the butt that way, and also having to know just about everything about anything on pokemon will also be annoying, like abilities and what happens when there are more then one and if it will attack your pokemon and who is fastest and etc and so forth and so on, i think it would be fun though becuase i probably could end up leveling my whole party at once alot faster.

i think i will fail because im to used to red and blue, i dont know what these posion types are and steel and dark, as well as ground and rock and dragon, including bug i get confused because its hard to remember what is x2 and x4 and things get worse with STAB and trying to figure out what will be most effective, all in all i fail at pokemon now a days but i still play it because i like how it takes up my free time.

Angelroid June 27th, 2010 10:15 PM

2 on 2 was great, But 3 on 3 is just insane. imo

Yuoaman June 27th, 2010 10:17 PM

This idea is a little ridiculous, in my completely honest opinion. Pokemon began as a game where you pitted each of your little monsters against each of another person's little monsters, and having a whole army at your beck and call at one time sort of ruins the experience for me.

That's what I was thinking as soon as I heard this. Just about every other JRPG out there is like this.

I'm having mixed feelings about this. I would probably prefer if they upgraded doubles battles more with more and made them a bit more prominent. But maybe they'll do that now, who knows.

NeoZX June 27th, 2010 10:24 PM

The screen will be crowded with 6 pokemon. 2 on 2 was great, but 3 on 3 is a little overdoing it...
I think I'll send out Dialga, Palkia and Giratina all at once. But that's going to be overkill.
...Come to think of it, then there will be a new type of trainer, called "triplets", I guess...And maybe sisters...
...Imagine a double battle against a gym leaders and a Champion/E4 member, like the one in DPPt and HGSS, now becomes a triple battle against 2 gym leaders and a E4 member, or maybe 3 gym leaders...
I have to say, this new feature opens up a whole lot of new possibilities...

Rakyu June 27th, 2010 10:34 PM

I have mixed feelings over the whole concept. With six Pokemon on the screen at any given time, I feel its going to get cluttered really quickly. Its also going to be really interesting seeing how this goes about tactically; I see counters to counters to counters being played, winding up in a lack of advantage for any of the players.

Despite that though, I do see a lot of interesting scenarios involving three trainers. Now you can beat the bad guys in droves rather than one at a time. Yayz for efficiency.
