>>23391344What went wrong is you only have like ten of them in Gen V, and I'm not sure if you have any in Gen VI besides the Maison, Cafes, and that one lady in ORAS who'll battle you once per day. People are less likely to want to play it against opponents when they have such little experience with it.
I really want Pokémon to raise the number of main game double/triple/rotation battles, and make it so double battles can be against more than two Pokémon like in Emerald.
