Double battles are the peak of competitive pokemon.

Too bad most Pokémon fans are so casual, they'd riot if the series made double battles standard.

I mean, both Coliseum games were pretty well received. A doubles-only spin-off wouldn't be that bad, though a main title that's mainly doubles probably wouldn't work out.

Imagine a toggle setting before you start your save file where you can choose if all battles are singles or doubles

That would be too hard for small indie conpany. Same thing with multiple save files and difficulty options.

It doesn't have to be that way though, doubles has way more potential than singles does.
I wish they would commit to adding new moves and abilities to really make doubles an interesting format but it'll never happen because small indie company please understand.

They are a shitty gimmick, that survived and become the official competitive format because gamefreak can't code

thanks vgc format does sound quite fun with only 4 mons meaning battles are quick but require more strategy

Double battles are fun in competitive, but I can't see them possibly working in-game with how bad GF is at designing NPC trainers.
And in-game is what dictates what people expect and want out of competitive, so singles will always be the preferred format.

Double battles are the standard already, you are not implying competitive players care about anything singleplayer related, right?

In general, Double Battle are fun go through.
The problem however, is that the popular strategies used by comp fags are some of the biggest horseshit on this planet.

it exists, but considering how compared to working at doubles it's basically wasting time if you want to be known as somebody in the competitive community it's a band aid solution
