[POLL] How many of you would USE a 2v2 ONLY area to post in?

I can see that your biggest issue is the fact that many people on this forum doesn't care for double battles. I'm not saying it is not fun, not at all. However, for some, it is hard to get into.

I suggest you make a thread, and ask Smarties to sticky it.

To add to what sims is saying...I play ADV, I've made abouit 2 D/P teams in my life...I play Netbattle. People here don't know as much anymore because of D/P, which makes it a tad harder to get info. Still, I get info, but not as many people care about 3rd gen, similar to double battles. I actually like double battles. You get to gang up on walls and outsweep sweepers lol...it is quite a good time.

wow it would b great to hav a 2v2 forum to talk about movesets and strategies

I'm not just talking about "RMT" threads, I'm talking about the whole ball of wax. Everything related to battling, moves, combos, EVs and all that stuff, in an isolated place, where the wary user will not just click it and rattle off their typical ideas. (Which is not bad, just not in the right place in that case.)

I'm going for equality for Doubles! Double battles are just as important as Single battles because they are another element of the finished product (the game). I wish we could get some love. No other forum I've visited has one, however they have much more "skim and trim" ability- i.e, if they see something that resembles a 2v2 thing, unless they have a 2v2 comment to post, they refrain from posting.

I will say finally, double battles involve a lot of thinking. Which is great. I play the Mario Striker game on the Wii when I'm looking for like, blowing things up and feeling like an action game. But when I'm wanting to use my brain, I opt for Pokemon double battles, because it's not just all about making the biggest, fastest, strongest Poke you can. It involves real thought. I have piles of notes and dozens of notepads just torn to shreds while working on 2v2 setups. It's that in-depth for me, and I love it.

BUT here's the thing. I, for some unstated reason that even I have yet to find, really like these forums. I'd like to stay here. :D It'd be really nice to see a Doubles forum is all. Okay, I'm done commenting. I'm gonna go home and train my Marowak now. lol.

If a person starts rating 2vs2 teams as they would rate a single battle team then you either haven't pointed out that it's a 2vs2 team clearly enough or the person doesn't even bother reading what you have to say in which case their advice usually isn't worth listening to regardless of if it's a 2vs2 thread or a single battle thread. It's also a warnable offense if it happens too many times so I'm sure that after a while people would learn not to reply to threads before reading them through, at least after they get a warning or two.

And of course double battles include strategy, but so do single battles. Somehow I'm getting the feeling you think double battle threads are not valued as highly as single battle threads here, which is not true; this is not an "only-post-your-single-battle-teams-here" section. If double battles should have their own section, there would have to be at least as many double- as single battle topics here. So before we can even consider giving them a section of their own, there would have to be a huge outburst of double battle topics here.
