Do you think we'll get to select battle backgrounds on wifi?

It's a odd question to some, but something I've been wondering about. As someone who mainly plays the game online or against friends with the normal game and doesn't play showdown; having the same background gets weary after a while. It doesn't help when its so unspired, imo.

With the coming of Sun and Moon, its possible this may change. It took us forever just get something basic like selectable music, so GF can be slow moving at times with things of that nature. I have noticed, outside of the Battle Royale, I don't believe we've seen the background for wifi battles. That by itself doesn't mean anything, but its very possible its on purpose.
 
I surely hope so. Same goes for battle music (actual titles rather than having to remember *music 1, 2, etc*)
 
That would be awesome, the sort of virtual arena indeed gets kinda tiring after a while. And how cool would it be if you could battle online trainers on a grassy field or a mountain instead, as if you just met a random trainer during your travels :D

And totally agree with The_Doctor on the music too, pleeeaaase give us titles.

I'm cautiously optimistic about it. It seems very plausible given GF is doing new stuff and not showing anything of Wifi battles even now so far. I second the ability to actually see the title of the music, should have been something from the get go. At the least, hopefully we get something a lot more inspired then last gen if we are stuck with one
 
Oh yeah I hate having to remember numbers for battle music... Unfortunately I've become very good at it:

XY: 9 Kanto Legendary, 11 Diantha

ORAS: 4 Gym Leader, 8 E4, 9 Steven, 21 Zinnia

I just rotate those endlessly.

As far as backgrounds, terrain moves effect that so I could see your personal choice for that getting overridden eventually anyways, seems like terrains are gonna be the cool new thing in Gen VII.

It just might. I remember I used to use Terrain Effects all the time just to see the visual effects as well for the team strats(Triples allowed me some interesting experimentation) I hope they're expanded on, and maybe get more. You know who badly needs one? Bug and poison types.

That said as long as we get the choice its cool

I've been having a great discussion on another thread about electric terrain. Tapu Koko's ability induces it, much like Drizzle induces rain, and Alola Raichu gets double Speed on electric terrain, similar to a Swift Swim Pokemon in rain. Tapu Koko is just one of four island legendary/diety Pokemon, it's safe to assume they'll all have related, or counterpart abilities, meaning the others might induce different terrains. If you thought VGC16 was hectic with the Primals, oh boy, I can already imagine the terrain shenanigans in VGC17.
 
They allow music choices, so this should've been a no brainer even in gen 6.

It should. But GF, as much as I love their games can do some questionbale things from time to time. It took a while for them to get rid of the ringing of death when your Pokemon is in red until like 6th gen I believe?

Still as I said, I'm 90 percent confident they'll do this.

If not I'll literally eat my hat with a side of ketchup.
 
They should do it, but knowing Game Freak they probably won't. Although they seem to be a bit more on the ball with these games than usual, so maybe they can still prove me wrong.
 
I mean we will be able to set up our own challenges perhaps they'll give use the opportunity to create a battlefield for the challenges.
 
Okay, its late but the new trailer gave us what seems to be the new wifi background if you guys have noticed.

..It's basically just the same thing, but cleaner and a different color. That doesn't mean anything in itself but it is a bit worrying; on the other hand the multi battle showed a different background a bit. I guess we'll have to wait and see. After all, up to this point they didn't show customization in detail.
