>>48589653I will always vouch for streak based systems if done properly. Streak systems are kind of legacy systems as they were introduced in RS as ways where you could actually go against your friends if you were to mix records with them. The Hoenn Tower would see where your streak ended and it would occasionally substitute the trainer at battle for your friend, who was able to get to that trainer. In gen IV, while this was not used in normal runs of the Battle Tower, the WiFi tower used the streak system a little bit but moreso the room system in order to determine what level your trainer would be placed in when you won all seven battles/lost your battle. For me, a system where your results can be uploaded and compared with your friends (one that NSO DOES support if you see Super Mario Odyssey/WarioWare/Miitopia/etc) and enabled so that when you load up a challenge, your friends most recent uploaded team is pulled would be something that would be very fun, especially if say a particular group (like /vp/, smogon Orange Islands, a streamer and his viewers) could share a common code amongst themselves to play with each other without having to all be online at the same time.
If the WiFi tower is not included, streak based systems are still fun at an arcade-y standpoint, but not if the first 14 battles are also shitmons.
