Expecting players to play in an entirely different format from what's standard in the base game is straight up bad game design. None of the strategies you've developed will work in this completely separate format from what the main story got you accustomed to and there's no way to ease your way into it without throwing yourself into a fucking post-game battle facility against AI that is actively and unrealistically cheating against you.
Don't get me wrong. I love Doubles and I'm glad it's the main format since Pokemon is much better balanced around that. I just don't get why the main story isn't mostly doubles. Fuck, I don't even think there was a single Double Battle in normal gameplay through S/V, or if there was I don't remember it.
