but anon, think of the new moves! don't you love using wide guard and rage powder? and think of the new abilities! don't you love healer and telepathy? where would the game be without these grand possibilities?

Wrong, some of the best campaigns Pokemon has had involve doubles. The GameCube games are fucking great. Gen 7 using them lopsidedly is solid as well, although having the Totem Pokemon have allies more regularly while giving the player a second Pokemon would increase the fun a lot. Hell, cutting a lot of the EXP creep and instead focusing on doubles as a format would dramatically increase the fun factor of the later games, but that is assuming a lot from Game Freak who can barely design interesting gimmicks these days (Terestal's interesting features feel like a mistake due to lack of balance, compared to bigmaxing just having zero balance to begin with)

Most the main competitive formats are going to be doubles. They aren't going to have a VGC singles season ever.

Double battles are far better than singles, and it's a shame the games are stuck using mostly singles for their main gameplay experience.

Doubles is genuinely so much more fun. I hope Gen 10 has more of them. Its what made me love the Indigo Disk DLC.

VGC is pretty organically popular, SV grew participation tremendously.
It has been an upward trend since Gen 5.

Why? They're like singles but with more. You're missing out on a huge part of the game. Entire moves, abilities, and strategies are worthless in singles but are great in doubles.

because there's "money" and "fame" involved that kids don't know any better about at worst, and at best it's because it's touted as the "official" format.
the format could have easily been anything like BSS Singles or even rotation/triples and it still would've been popular
that is to say i love 6v6 doubles and wish that was the standard

Well the game has also been designed around doubles for the past several generations. This is why smogon currently has like 40 fucking OU bans trying to keep their shit fanfic format stable.

That’s fine. There are moves, abilities, and strategies more tailored to Singles. There are also mechanics that do and don’t work with both.

Singles has far fewer.
The difference here is while most things that aren't useful in doubles is meta dependent(we don't see hazards, so no boots) the stuff that doesn't work in singles straight up doesn't mechanically, helping hand for instance.

Also fine. Not losing sleep because I can’t use Follow Me or Ally Switch.

There is virtually no difference between a move not working in a format and a move not being viable in a format. Hazards might as well only work in singles

I don't believe in things being "constructively" tailored for singles, if you wanted to use boots, you could and they'd function normally.
How much of the singles meta in the past 5 generations has been informed by bans rather than new mechanics?

Not as much as butthurt low ELO shitters make you believe. HDB alone has changed the meta a lot.
