6th Gen Inverse Battles

[Starry Windy]

In Route 18 of Kalos, I visited a house where a Psychic named Inver will offer you a totally different kind of battle called Inverse Battles, where Grass type beats Fire types, Electric type beats Ground types and so on. What's your thoughts on this upside-down battling system?

I love them. Generally I find Pokemon battling to be pretty mindless, what with my experience exceeding a decade. With these I had to think a bit. It's like writing backwards your first time.

I love Inverse Battles - it was something new and enjoyed it. They should have had more of them in the games and at least one with double inverse battle. Hope the next Kalos game has more inverse battles in them.

I agree with the above posters I love it because it's something new. It is also the most most difficult part in the game(for me) and I really wish they do more of it in the future.

At first, I found it to be pretty confusing and ended up losing quite a lot of battles. Eventually, I've gotten used to it and it actually became pretty fun. It's been a while since I lasted participated in an inverse-battle, though… two weeks, maybe? If I remember to, I'll give it a go one more time this week and see how I do. (:

Inverse battle is pretty fun! It's the only time when a defensive ice type actually works and when normal types becomes the most overpowered typing. It should have been a battle mode for Wi-Fi battling, but alas maybe next gen. (btw I'm aware it's battle mode on showdown.)
