-   -   5th Gen 3 on 3 BATTLES!!!! (https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=223920)

I think some people are being a little rash here. I'm not quite sure what I think of 3 on 3 battles so far but in reality we know nothing about them. Double battles were implemented usually by battling 2 trainers, so it'd make sense for triple battles to be used when battling 3 trainers except in reality, how many times do you find yourselves in positions like that? A couple times maybe but other than that it's pretty rare. Unless they line 3 trainers up in a line and call them triplets which seems kind of rediculous to me.

When it comes to triple battles I don't think we know the full story yet, there's a lot of game mechanic possibilities here.

Also about the screen being too crowded thing, Ipeople need to stop thinking with their 4th generation minds and realise this is 5th gen. In the old screen it'd for sure be too crowded but the game's are adapting, depth has been added to the battle screens and the camera shifts, 3 on 3 shouldn't be a problem.

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.








Let's not give them ideas <.<

I'll totally give them all of the ideas that I want...

With an army though it would become more of an RTS, though.

3 on 3 sounds to me like a load of crap. I already dislike getting stuck in 2 on 2 battles, so this isn't much of an improvement for me. I like the classic 1 on 1 battles. The last thing I want to think about is the utter nightmare of how much text you would have to endure in some battles. Imagine if some pokemon had status, were holding items, affected by hail or sandstorm. I'm just thinking about a match with someone using 3 darkrais and the game saying that a pokemon is trapped in a nightmare 9 times. Do not want.

Halcyon June 27th, 2010 11:28 PM

I hoped for that and never thought that would ever happened. And it did! :O :D

Totaldile June 27th, 2010 11:32 PM

Surf+Earthquake=Very Quick Battles..... Maybe shooter is an avoid option? i hope so T-T

Eurydice June 27th, 2010 11:35 PM

im not sure what i currently think about this. while it might be really awesome to fight with 3 pokemon it also might make it more annoying. i know some of the 2 on 2 battles are annoying. but it does sound pretty cool.

インフェルノの津波 June 27th, 2010 11:47 PM

I think 3 on 3 is one trainer versus one, maybe 3 at some point.

At least if they only have 3 Pokemon, you can get'em all in one shot.

Gawd guys. You sound like they said they're going to eat your toes for breakfast.

Logiedan June 27th, 2010 11:48 PM

I'm not a really into 3 on 3 battles. 2 on 2 was enough for me, but i'd like to see new tactical team strategies with 3 on 3 battles. :3

Mujahid June 28th, 2010 12:14 AM

It'll be fun and challenging at the same time...with 3 on 3 there will surely be some abilities like avoiding moves that hit all multiple pokemons(surf,earthquake,rock slide,blizzard etc.)..so it won't be that of a mess of quick battles...i'm looking forward to them

Bluerang1 June 28th, 2010 1:51 AM

Some please tell me the use/point of 3 on 3 battles.

6 on 6 would be cool though

Lord Varion June 28th, 2010 1:56 AM

I dont like the idea
Double battle were good
But 3 on 3
-.- Thats pointless
Whats next Triplets as a trainer class

They'll never stop will they

Essence June 28th, 2010 2:20 AM

Though I would find it fun, now that it's happening it doesn't sound very appealing. 3v3? Nty. Only 2 available switches, a clogged screen and SUPERRR long rounds :L

Masterge77 June 28th, 2010 3:27 AM

While a lot of you wanted Triple Battles, I did not, I was fine with Double Battles alone.......

blue June 28th, 2010 3:36 AM

Each time we receive a new piece of information, these games get more intresting,
3 On 3 Battles! :D

akaFilanachi June 28th, 2010 5:33 AM

I think this is a terrible idea. 2v2 was enough. With 3v3 the screen will be crowded, you would have only 1 switch per pokemon, and people would abuse the fact that they have 3 poke and triple attack 1 of the opponent's pokemon.

560cool. June 28th, 2010 5:59 AM

Hah, as I've been off PC, I only thought on this.
I WAS SURE ! :D HELL, it really exists ! ;)
OK, I can't wait. What about all three starters ? ~ Against other starters from another generation. Epic ~

sirDonovan June 28th, 2010 6:02 AM

I didn't believe it until I saw the screenshots and still kinda don't. But after thinking about it, i guess 3 on 3 battles won't be too bad. Like double battles, you'll probably get used to it fast and there will most likely be a way to avoid them. Or if they aren't in game, I think it'll just be a multiplayer option with possibly up to six trainers battling at once if they all used 2 pokemon.

Why does my brain generate pictures of a Pokemon Tactical RPG?


I think this 3v3 is ridiculous. One person can just bring three fast sweepers and gang up on one Pokemon.

PrinceBlackheart June 28th, 2010 6:20 AM

You are absolutly correct and i think thats cool but most of the new pokemon look weird and out of place though.I read it on bulbapedia.

Alberio June 28th, 2010 6:25 AM

Generation 6: Now with 30-on-30 battles, where you fight with a full PC box of pokemon!

Seriously though, I have mixed feelings. As long as it doesn't happen TOO often, I guess I can deal with it. Triple gym leader battle, anyone? But competitive battling will get even more complicated now...

and that plan is perfect against three walls, isn't it... there is so many counter strategies that can stop this kind of planning. maybe in-game it will work, but that won't work on wifi

Edit: Myles explains it much better then me...

Leaving you with two Pokemon not taking any damage at all. Also, if you can accurately predict who your opponent would attack (e.g. the slowest, least defensive, etc.), you can make it use Protect. Imagine a turn of not being attacked at all.

Besides, what are the chances of them having three Pokemon that: a) are sweepers b) are active c) are all even or super effective against one of your active Pokemon and d) not super effective to your other active Pokemon. If any of those are not true, all attacking that one Pokemon probably isn't a very good idea anyway.

And this is just off the top of my head. That strategy would have so many counters it's not even funny.

Charmageddon June 28th, 2010 7:23 AM

Godammit...

Sometimes less is more, GameFreak. This is just a little bit over the top. I'll wait until I actually play a 3-on-3 battle until I pass full judgement, but I am very apprehensive about it.

Quoted for truth.

At first I was kind of excited to see a different forme of battling introduced, but really, after thinking about it a little more, the screen looks so crowded - and I don't like things being like that, even if it's out of my control. One thing I can see affecting this, though, is the radius when trainers can actually spot you and battle you. I remember there being three trainers all within a radius that would all spot you if you walked in the middle of them, but one trainer's radius was different to prevent the three from battling you at the same time, since that feature wasn't included in past games. So that's kind of interesting.

The idea of three on three battles just seems hectic to me, though. Overcrowded and hectic are the only two words I have that can really describe how I feel about it. And since Pokémon sprites are taking to life, it seems like it will be more confusing than anything. :(

mikey June 28th, 2010 7:29 AM

I also am not crazy about the idea of 3 on 3 battles. I think that battles will become overcrowded and hectic. Hopefully, there will not be that many 3 on 3 battles. I like to stick with 2 on 2.
