I hope I'm using this thread correctly.
I have found, while searching for something else, a string in FR, at 0x3fd2bf, that may be something you might want to research.
This position is the start of a string that says, quite simply "Wild [buffer1] and [buffer2] appeared!" This indicates that double wild battles were intended for the game, but I personally don't remember seeing it before D\P\Pt. So, I thought it was dead code, an artifact of an old idea laid to waste. But after searching some more, I found that the battle message printing routine has a way to reach it, using valid addresses. The printing function is quite big, so I'll only post the relevant part:

This is all the information on it. I am searching for so many things right now, that I can't take this one on for a while. So, if someone cares to give it a try, to see where the values needed to start a double wild battle, maybe then we can have double wild battles available for all.

I've seen things, man.

I was able to make a double encounter happen.
I set a break for when the game set the encounter variable(2022B4C) 4 which is a normal battle, I then manually changed it to 1 which meant double battle. I am sstill code searching for when the game would set it to one!

And it seems very buggy

Thanks for the info. I checked it out myself, and found out why this method is so buggy. First of all, about 02022b4c, it's a Battle type flag. Some combinations crash the game immediately, but most are harmless. One in particular crashes the game, probably because it needs something else to work it it.
Code: 
Bit -> what it does
0 -> double battle bit
1 -> crashes, so I dunno
2 -> normal wild battle one. seems to say not to load the randomize pokemon method, as when called combined with the next flags produces ???????s
3 -> trainer battle flag
4 -> dims the screen (prof oak battle). If no string is present to print, crashes
5 -> seen nothing special yet.
6 -> puts you to the left, and deletes your first pokemon. Meant to be used with the double battle bit, as a double battle with two different trainers. Not even developed enough to work properly.
7 -> Starts safari encounter. If you try double battle, you mess up the whole battle.
Also, there is only one thing wrong with this wild double battle code, and that is because it only generates one wild pokemon, so the game will try and fill that data with the previous pokemon it loaded. So, you allways battle two of the same pokemon, and if one faints the battle ends. But if you load a pokemon at the second wild battle slot manually, the code works great. Except for pokemon captures, as the ball seems to be encoded to only copy the data at the first enemy party slot.

I found the same thing on Ruby ^^ Except that the buffer's were different.

So, I take it that Nintendo obviously planned Double Wild Battles on GBA but due to some certain *whatever* we never get to see it XD

Edit: Looks like I have to document my Ruby ROM more :D

This discovery is very useful(but buggy)!
Even buggy,i want to test this kind of battles.

Is there a way that we can do a double wild battle without putting manualy the values (like a routine or a modifcation in the main battle engine)?

Is there also a way for double battles to happen with the player only having one pokemon? Without your one pokemon being cloned?

Click to expand...

It's a RAM offset, go there in VBA's memory viewer. RAM is modified at run time to store variables and such.

This had to be successfully done since Pokemon double Emerald has everything doing double battles, trainers and wild encounters. I'd like to know how this was done. Also is Emerald different from the other games when it comes to double battles, cuz if I recall there was a lot more double battles in that game compared to all the others. I'm not sure if it's simply easier to do that in Emerald or not. I'd like to add it in my game as well, but mine is based off of Fire Red.
