I think Triple/Rotation Battles should get more appearances in B2/W2. I enjoyed them and I like the strategy that comes with it.

BryGuy Shinigami April 17th, 2012 10:04 PM

I will like to see more of the two in B2/W2. Most likely they will put more Rotation Battles in one and more Triple Battles in the other. I also hope if you get to battle the Shadow Triad it's a Rotation Battle (in one game) or a Triple Battle (in the other). Even better if you get to battle the 6 Sages (like if they escape jail or they just get a 2 year sentence and their time expired) and you battle 3 in a Rotation Battle and the other 3 in a Triple Battle. As well as one of the latter gyms have 3 gym leaders that you tri/rot battle with.

I'm always looking for challenges in Pokémon battles, and I don't think there was enough in BW. More Rotational battles could get annoying, but at the same time it's also challenging. That's why having more within B2W2 would be fine with me, haha.

Well, they can keep them in but not too many---

YES, that is what I think would be better. :3 Isolate those battles to the subway plz. lool.

SnowpointQuincy April 18th, 2012 12:57 AM

Battle Subway should have Rotation Battles. That would be perfect.

There should also be a special color of grass, burgundy grass, that causes wild triple battle encounters. Or, maybe that is a bit too much :15:

Ho-Oh April 18th, 2012 1:02 AM

Ooh triple battle grass! Black and White = about a few years after DPPt, so that could actually be kinda developed in the sense that it happened with B/W. As long as there's no rotational battle grass >__> But possibly they might want to wait until the next generation to add in that. ;__;

Zelda April 18th, 2012 2:11 AM

I mentioned triple battle wild grass, and yes I would love this. I mean if they can include wild double battles, why not promote triple battles more with it? I see trainers using more of rotational battles, doesn't look like a technique that you should find within wild Pokémon.

Frozen April 18th, 2012 2:18 AM

Yes, I'd really love to see them utilized more. I loved the Triple Battles (Never got to experience the rotation battles), It seemed like a waste to only have a few battles with it. Oh and the first GYM needs a triple battle.

Ho-Oh April 18th, 2012 3:36 AM

Maybe rotationals would be suited to a structured environment, perhaps like in a place where Pokemon are at home/at nature sorta? Don't really know where, maybe in the earlier areas, where Pokemon are younger and work as a "team" to defeat the opponent (although mega unlikely lool) and have triples all over in the grass? IF NOT SUBWAY PLZ GF.

Oryx April 18th, 2012 3:46 AM

I have a feeling they'll expand the Subway and put a battling spot for triples there, similar to the Frontier.

Jellicent♀ April 18th, 2012 5:42 AM

^ I wonder why they didn't put them into the Subway in the first place. Of course at the time they were trying to make each one unique to a different region.
But to see them in the Subway would be really cool. That would certainly make it a bit more difficult imo.

PokeFreak201306 April 18th, 2012 7:11 AM

These feature were okay, but when they released double battles in R/S they werent huge until the emerald remake, I think there should be more of both and definetly incorporate them in to the enemy team, but definetly not the E4 or Champion, that would be absurd lol

blue April 18th, 2012 7:29 AM

It was kind of pointless for them to include very few Trip/Rotations especially due to the fact that it's the games they were introduced in.

Ruby and Sapphire also introduced double battles, but had far fewer than important, they werent correctly incorporated until Emerald which was remake of Ruby and Sapphire, They might have done that just to see if they would get good feedback and then add more or take them out depending on such feedback

LightOfTruth April 18th, 2012 7:35 AM

Didn't get to this type of battle yet in Black but I can see a patten here with Emerald and Black and White 2, Emerald included more double battles and Black and White 2 included more triple battles :D

blue April 18th, 2012 7:36 AM

True^ I can see them utilizing these into B2W2 in more areas, it would make sence really. Hoping for more Triples than Rotationals however.

Oh you're right, Emerald did put more emphasis on the double battles. Trainers previously in RS that were only single battles, became double battles. B2W2 should definitely follow up with this.

If they're trying to make it specific they can have in White: "This train is the cutting edge train of the future, we're sure these battles will catch on!" and in Black: "This train imitates battles that were very popular in the past!"

Perfect. B]

And PokeLegend and Kaori make a good point. So maybe they WILL put more emphasis on the triple/rotation abttle themes. Where you come into a crossing and three people see you at once, and then the battle will begin, or maybe they'll have groups much like the couples that challenge you.

chaos11011 April 18th, 2012 1:05 PM

They don't have to be three people, imagine the Emerald way of doing it. There's a path and two people spot you at once.

Trainer 1: Oh, hey, I challenge you to a Double Battle!

Trainer 2: Hey, I saw you!

Trainer 1 and 2: Triple Battle commence!

SnowpointQuincy April 18th, 2012 2:26 PM

Smogon has a funny picture of what Rotation Battles actually look like. The battle are literaly faught on a giant gear suspended by Claydol. I would love to see a special arena in the game were such a thing is animated.

Put this in the game!! Or, the anime...

I can see that, but I mostly see one Trainer giving you a heads up that you are about to enter a triple/rotation battle and then the battle begins with his 3 Pokemon and your first 3. Plus it would be cool if Heartbreaker Charles had some family and friends that will also challenge you to a tri/rot battle.

Family, well, considering he's a Heartbreaker, he probably has a few wives. Wouldn't it be interesting if he had four wives you meet and two specialise in triple battles and the other in rotationals? XD; I'd find that hilarious, or at least more than anyone else he is related to.

Or had since he is a heartbreaker and not necessarily a cheater? Hmm. But yeah it would be cool if like, ladies he used to be with specialized in triple battles within one game (Black 2 or White 2) and then ladies in the other game specialized in Rotationals.

Ho-Oh April 21st, 2012 7:37 AM

Maybe it could just be the same two ladies, or the same one lady (that he'd "settle down" by then) and that she just changes hair colour and does the triple/rotational battles in the version and he does the opposite to them in your version :3

giradialkia April 21st, 2012 7:38 AM

I'm not really sure how they could utilise Triple/Rotational battles any more than they did in BW. Well, I might be saying that because I wasn't crazy about them- I guess with Triple battles it was a matter of simply knocking the opponent out, but Rotation... Yeesh, I still don't think I fully understand it, lol. I wouldn't mind if there were just as few Triple/Rotation battles as in BW.
