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

Agreed. I've been wanting 3 on 3 battles since pokemon started considering games back then like Final Fantasy already had 3 on 3 turn style rpg battles

One of the things that I thought with this update was that it reminded me a heck of a lot of 'Telefang', especially with the 3 on 3 battles (Telefang being the 'fake Pokemon Diamond/Jade' games...if you don't know of them google away!). And for all the flaws Telefang had (cough) three on three battles in it was pretty fun enough.... and the system was much simpler too (for instance no hit-all-enemies attacks like Surf, leastways in the 1st one). IMO 3 on 3 with Pokemon could work out to be a pretty fun situation with a bunch of options to use - hard to judge though without trying it out though but I feel it has potential. And as mentioned many other games go beyond 3 on 3 battles as well with even more complexity than Pokemon does.

As for when it is used... we do not yet know how often 3 on 3 is used - maybe it'd be only a few times in the game? (Certainly you fight what'd likely be the rival in a 3 on 3 battle, or in a wifi battle alternatively). As for those who asked about what point 3 on 3 had... probably the same as 2 on 2 battles had point-wise. =p They're enjoyable IMO, and for many others too, so 3 on 3 may have its lure for lots of people as well - simply adds another aspect to playing the game I suppose.

Too early to properly judge imo, and even if it's bad I do have my doubts that it'd be used often either.

:shocked: don't throw it! it doesn't feel anything, only you!!!

Okay the main thing is earthquake, surf, and other group attacks are now going to be EVEN WORSE!
nothing upsets me more than my empoleon using surf and doing half the damage it should to each of the pokemon!
Crowdedness not only with the sprites but also with the health bars!
I don't think most people realize how much room those things take up haha

Doxasikyrie June 28th, 2010 6:19 PM

This does seem a little over the top, but it will be interesting to see how it plays out.

last fighter 36 June 28th, 2010 6:52 PM

3 on 3 battles would be the awesomest thing :P

loliwin June 28th, 2010 6:54 PM

Its kinda like turn-based Marvel vs Capcom. :O

Robin Hood June 28th, 2010 7:02 PM

As long as theirs no Gym Leader that has to be fought using 3-on-3 to promote the feature like there was for Double Battles in RSE, then I'll be okay with it I think. Not terribly excited, but you could say I'm the middleman in this.

Le Creep! June 28th, 2010 7:07 PM

It would be nice. But, if you were to carry only about 2 Pokemon around (that's kinda rare) and engage a 3 on 3 battle, what would happen?

I know that's like the worst case scenario.

I think it's great! Can't wait to get the games!

Same thing that happens in HG/SS if you only have one pokemon on your team and encounter a double-battler. They'll say somethin along the lines of "Oh, it wouldn't be fair since you only have [number] pokemon..." And you don't battle them.

Fli June 28th, 2010 7:23 PM

Hmmm... Well, I'm interested in how it will work, but I'm also kinda worried about the crowdedness and things in general. So I guess I'm mixed. I loved 2 on 2 and feel like I should love 3 on 3 too, but I've never really wanted 3 on 3 except the random "what would 3 on 3 be like" thoughts. I'll be patient and wait to see what they are really like, I guess.

MrsNorrington June 28th, 2010 9:32 PM

Wow, I think this is going to be an exciting new feature! Can't wait!

MistahDude June 28th, 2010 10:57 PM

it looks crowded but it would take a lot of strategy to be good at them.

Gymnotide June 28th, 2010 11:25 PM

I think it's going to be a bit... Stupid. You already have limited use of Earthquake / Surf, etc. in double battles, but when you bring a third member in, you basically have to rely on attacks that single out the foes or attack them all at once. If you choose to attack them all, then your attack's power would probably be reduced greatly (like how in double battles, hitting two foes at once means your attack strength is 75% of normal -- I'm expecting something along the lines of 50% or less for triples).

What it will go into then is what double battle ends up being a lot of the time -- you single out a foe and take them out ASAP using one-target moves, depending on your type advantages... Only in triple battles, you can cover every type possible since you have so many Pokemon out already, so only the fastest Pokemon can win, really.

Finally, the last thing I'm worrying about is that your party can be severely crippled by losing even one member... And in-game, if you're in a tight situation, you'll most likely lose a triple battle anyway.

Cherrim June 29th, 2010 6:49 AM

I'm not very excited about the 3v3. :/ I suppose it kind of seems like a logical upgrade from double battles but it seems... tacky? Lame? Unimaginative? D:

It just doesn't sit right, for some reason. Too obvious, maybe. *shrug*

Calvo819 June 29th, 2010 8:52 AM

i facepalmed when i saw 3 on 3


pokemon has started to become a lot stupider lately, im starting to feel bad ._.

Starway June 29th, 2010 9:57 AM

My friend told me it's turning in to Final Fantasy type of Fighting but I think it's a bit overboard if you ask me.

JustinDestruction June 29th, 2010 10:00 AM

When I saw this I just said. "Wow." I feel this is pretty overkill. 3 on 3? MADNESS.

Kirbychu June 29th, 2010 3:05 PM

I was hoping for 4-way battles; doubles battles are enough anyways.

Charizard★ June 29th, 2010 3:08 PM

Eh, its going to be similar to a double battle so I could care less. Just one more Pokemon to battle with.

fenyx4 June 29th, 2010 3:54 PM

Just found out about this feature... I'm interested to see how it plays out. It seems intriguing...but a bit 'cramped' during battle, if that's the correct term. I remember someone saying if this was introduced, it's showing half of your team right off the bat. Well, time will tell how awesome these battles are (personally, I'm a fan of 2-on-2 battles myself!) :D

Weatherman, Kiyoshi June 29th, 2010 5:34 PM

I like the idea, honestly.
It allows three Pokemon to be trained out once. :3

But, I'm worried about the screen. Hopefully the transparency of the health bars and more space utilization will be of use.

Tiax June 29th, 2010 9:46 PM

Ugh, that's a terrible idea. Who thought of that? ...

Kai Yamato June 29th, 2010 10:12 PM

Eh, not excited about the whole thing. Just like double battles, I think it's a pointless gimmick and a waste of time.
