Sky battles were fun but why were there only like five in the whole game? Weren't even available in the battle maison. Same for inverse battles.

Please understand. It takes time to come up with ideas and you want new games every year. I say that because I know I do so you definitely do because I do so you definitely do.

it's a vestigial limb remaining from the point in development when they played with the idea of replacing Fly with a soaring mechanic, a prototype of which they ended up implementing in ORAS with mega lati@s.

I think only flying pokemon and pokemon with levitate can participate in sky battles. Not like bug types would be that useful.

The only Pokemon allowed in Sky Battles are Flying Types with floating/flying/gliding animations and floating Pokemon with Levitate.
Please understand, having Sky Battles make sense is very hard.

XY has some neat new battle concepts like Sky Battles and Inverse Battles but none of them were fleshed out at all. They likely would have been had Z Version ended up being a thing.

Come to think of it, how many triple/rotation battles were there in Gen 5? I can only think of maybe two or three off the top of my head.
I mean, hell, when double battles were introduced in Gen 3, you had dozens of encounters, even a gym whose leader battle focused on the format. Or how about the spinoffs where the battle format was NOTHING BUT double battles?
But then Sky, Triple, and Rotation were removed from Gen 7 because "making game too hard."

Even still, they got a pretty massive spotlight compared to the subsequent formats.

Oh, and to add, triple and rotation battles got represented in Kalos... As part of that Lumiose Style system that was so purposefully obtuse that basically no one would have known how that shit worked if it wasn't for dataminers.

Because Soaring was supposed to be an X/Y feature, but they didn't have enough time to implement it by release, so they ended up cramming it into ORAS. Even the soaring theme sounds overwhelmingly like Kalos Route 18.
