★ Out of the two subway masters, which did you find the most challenging and the most exciting to battle? How so?: Both at the same time in the Multi Battle section. The outcome of the battle could depend on my partner's Pokemon.
★ How do you feel about the design of the Battle Subway? Did you like the idea?: I like the idea because it's cool battling in a moving vehicle.
★ What is your battle streak thus far? If broken, what was your highest streak?: I think my best was around 30+ wins.
★ Do you feel the Battle Subway should've been located elsewhere in Unova? If so why, and where?: Nah, Nimbasa is the perfect place. I
★ What are your goals within the Battle Subway? : Try to beat Ingo and Emmet in the different sections.

I don't remember the one subway master I faced so I can't comment on that BUT I can comment on the overall experience!

The design was pretty awesome. Ever since Johto and the "train" there I've always always always wanted to ride on a train in-game and actually see inside of it (JUST WISH THIS HAD THE CUTSCENES I'D ALWAYS WANTED). Only thing is it reminds me so much of Digimon Frontier, lol.

Highest streak, I dunno, I remember I faced the guy with Garbodor and... lost. XD But yeah, Nimbasa is definitely appropriate for it, imo. It's pretty easy overall and I love the music for it and dialogue is apparently hilarious. No goals, though, just to use it more? :x

I just love the designs of the subway masters. I think their outfits aren't over-the-top, but still really, really cool looking. I have a real soft spot for how amazing those two characters look.

As far as the idea of the Subway itself...I'm kind of biased on that because I have a love affair with the subway it's based on, the NYC subway system. I love riding on it all the time, it makes me happy so the Battle Subway made me happy as well! What I would have liked implemented is different maps for different platforms; it's kind of disappointing that every platform looks identical when in NYC they all look entirely different, my favorite being the mosaic that makes images of various shoes.

I don't use it often though, despite loving the idea. It's just because in the end, I'm not a big battler. I battle through the game and do the occasional competitive battle, but dozens of battles back-to-back with overloaded hax (from what I hear)? Nooo thanks. Just not my cup of tea.

They should have had other entrances to the Subway that were just nice areas that took you to Nimbasa imo, that are blocked off until you get Fly so that way you don't use it as a way to bypass everything. I would have liked to see them used more than for the one travel train.

The black subway boss was challenging in super double because he has strong pokemon.
How do you feel about the design of the Battle Subway? Did you like the idea?
Wasn't that bad but it could be a bit better than I expected.
What is your battle streak thus far? If broken, what was your highest streak?
N/A
Do you feel the Battle Subway should've been located elsewhere in Unova? If so why, and where?
I would probably put it in castelia city because most citys have subways than on fun parks.
What are your goals within the Battle Subway?
To get a high score.

I have yet to battle the White Subway Master. I've battled the Black one quite a bit though. The first time he had my heart pounding, but after I beat him I was like, "Oh...ok.." then the next few times I wasn't really worried at all.

I do love the idea though. I actually started using it so I could get all the Power items. So if I had to say my goals for the BS, I would say the Power items, but I finally got all of them a week ago after a long string of battling in the Subway. If I didn't go for the items though, I probably never would've tried the Battle Subway. I don't know my streak so far though. I can't really remember as I never really tried for a streak.

If I had to put it anywhere else though, I agree with the person above me. Castelia City sounds like a more perfect place as it is a city and cities have Subways.

I only beat them in the Multi Train, so I have no idea what their individual battles are like. : )

★ How do you feel about the design of the Battle Subway? Did you like the idea?
I really enjoy the design! When I first got in the Battle Subway, I was really surprised at what I saw. It's a really creative "replacement" of the Battle Tower. It's really a shame that you can't use the Battle Subway to move to other towns and cities, seeing as the Subway links to the whole of Unova.

★ What is your battle streak thus far? If broken, what was your highest streak?
So far, I have defeated Ingo and Emmet in the Multi Train thanks to Touya, who saved my butt for so many times, especially in the "final" battle. That's the furthest I've gone. I might try to challenge the Super Multi Battles, but I'm not sure if I can defeat the trainers there xD

★ Do you feel the Battle Subway should've been located elsewhere in Unova? If so why, and where?
Nope, it's fine where it is. If you put the Battle Subway at Castelia, that place will be overcrowded with things! Seriously, Castelia has a bunch of piers, a ton of buildings, and so much more ^^

★ What are your goals within the Battle Subway?
Gotta beat 'em all! except not really lol

But seriously, if I can complete even one line (the Normal and Super Line), I'd be really happy about that.
