People will be using explosion like crazy with these 3v3 battles. If you don't have a ghost type or a highly defensive pokemon, there goes half of your team while they only lose 1 poke.
Seriously, what was Nintendo thinking when they decided to make 3v3? |

It'll be a good idea if its done only a little outside of a battle frontier type area

Well to be honest I don't see competitive battling even picking up on this. They still never picked up on double battles fully. In the competitive battling community, double battles are a small, specialized niche of play.

I still think that there will be some abilities that'll make the pokemon immune to moves that hit multiple pokemon or disable such moves...but then those pokemon will instantly become OU or even uber
|
I think ghosts will get a lot of love with the introduction of three-on-three. They loved doubles, triples seems to only propel their use further. (given the mechanics of explosion stay the same)
|
Not sure what to think about the three on three battles. From the screens and the video I have seen, the screen looks way to crowded and well, not sure if I'm going to like that. The battles are going to be more interesting but quicker at the same time. I guess, I'll have to wait and see what other game mechanics are going to be introduced with this new feature.
|
Honestly, I'm unsure of what to think of 3-on-3 battles. At first, I thought it was a good idea, but several good points have been raised (most notably the Explosion one) that show the disadvantages. Seriously, what was Nintendo thinking?
|
I think 3 V 3 is way to much to be happening on the screen. Theres gonna be so much surf spam its gonna be ridiculous. I seriously hope there aren't too many triple battles in the game and certainly hope they don't make a colloseum game with triple battles only.
|
I see earthquake, surf, explosion, and other similar moves spammed in the near future.
I think this might help to get through battles faster, but it would be a very difficult to cover each pokes weakness. |
Guys, remember, surf and EQ's damage will decrease though.

Purely speculation, but I think triple battles will be 50% power for those moves. Which, as I said above, would really weaken Explosion. Since the self KO certainly doesn't go 50%.
|
Three on three's sound like fun.
At least the game's are catching up to the anemie. The shows done this since gen 1 for crying out loud. Ash, Misty, Brock vs Team Rocket. |
I did't care for the Double Battles, so I can already see my not caring for the Triple Battles. You can say I'm 'blinded by nostalgia' or whatever, but I like 1 on 1.

Besides that, I'm not sure how to approach this new feature. Maybe it's a little too much...they started with 1v1 battles which were fun, and then 2v2 to spice things up a little, but 3v3...What's next? All your Pokemon out at the same time? =x |
Pokemon rumble x10 is what's next,
|
I expect much lag with the fact all 6 pokemon battling will be moving aroung (that was one of the old released details) I still wonder if any will be in game.
|
3-3 would be so annoying and time consuming. this better be fake, going overboard

I think it's a pretty nice idea. I mean, DP threw us into the physical/special split and we've learned to cope. Of course, some of our favourites got severely dented in the process, but along came many advantageous boosts. We shouldn't be so quick on the draw and shoot bullets at blurry targets. First, we should probably learn how it's going to play out. For all you know, there could be a whole different system when it comes to 3-3 battles. I mean, all we have to judge upon right now is a sole trailer/image. We haven't even seen it in action, people. I think that the whining (or, 'opinions,' if you prefer, but if you do, they are rather prejudiced) should be minimized because we don't even know how this will play out. With double battles came new moves such as Helping Hand, and with triple battle will arise moves based on triples. Nonetheless, I've always favoured battles featuring more than two pokemon at a time, as it causes the battlers to focus more on strategy than raw stats and movepools, which is why I've always wondered why single battles were so focused on. And of course, adding more pokemon into the fray will only increase the strategy play, which I see as beneficial. Also, yes the screen will be a bit more cluttered, but I foresee the health bars going horizontally, as stacked would just cover up the opponent. Maybe you all don't like certain things happening (such as an earthquake nullification, as said earlier, I believe) but there will obviously be new features to compensate for losses. Game Freak may be risky, but not stupid, after all. |
Wow. 3v3 is like insane. :D
I'm having mixed feelings over the subject. It can be fun to have 6 players battling at once (each sending out one Pokemon) and that could be fun to do a 3v3 player match. But this may also have something to do with the shooter feature as well. It wasn't included in the regular 1v1 or 2v2 battles, so it may be for special 3v3 battles. |
The idea was a bit weird to do triple battles, 2vs2 was enough. 3vs3 is half your team, and what about the screen? I don't like the idea, competitive play a definite nono but in gameplay it'd be fine with me.

It'll definitely bring out old pokemon from the past and thrust them into the future, that's for sure. Whether this whole idea folds or not, we will definitely see re-arranged tiers. |
I'm sure the battles will be interesting for sure, but I barely adapted to 2 on 2 battles and three on three seems more like a move to make the battles more intense. No offense GameFreak, I already had a bad habit of throwing my Gameboy at the wall when I lost to the Elite 4, I have a feeling these battles will be the same... :/
