How do you think both Rotation Battles and Triple Battles will be treated in the games? Will we see more of them? Less of them? Will they still, for the most part, be version exclusives? Will either of these battling variations be the focus of a Battle Subway challenge? Will either of them be tweaked in any way?
 
I definitely want more of them. I felt that considering their hype prior to BW's launch, there simply weren't enough of them in the game. Heck, at the BW Première, they had demo stations there purely for triple and rotation battles.
 
They'll probably still be version exclusives. Though I prefer triple battles of Rotation battles.

I'm hoping there would be more NPC triple/rotation battles. Having only 3-4 in BW felt like a wasted opportunity for me.
 
I hope they're no longer version exclusive, and I hope there will be Battle Facilities to accommodate for this style. I'm sure they've figured out a way to make NPC's competent in these battle styles by now.

The idea of flipping Rotation for Triple battles in Black 2 make me shiver.
 
It would be good if they were implemented into Battle Subway/Frontier. That was one of the biggest things Battle Subway lacked.
 
Seeing as Emerald brought in more double battles in the overground as well, I think BW2 should have some triple battles in the overground, eg. triplets, three different trainers seeing the player at the same time from different directions, etc.
 
I hope there's more. It always felt cool to have three of my pokémon out at the same time.
 
I like Rotation Battles (for the few I have played) so hopefully they'll bring those back in a larger number. They try to do something different, whereas I'm not really sold on Triple Battles because it just seems like an unneeded extension of Double Battles imo (I do admit a Triple Battle with the Striaton Trio would be good though).

I didn't understand why they weren't incorporated into BW's Battle Subway anyway, so maybe they'll have sorted it out this time. Who knows with GF.
 
I certainly think they ought to include more opportunities to have either of these types of battles. They were so hyped up when BW1 were coming out, and then there were barely any of them, and none were required! RSE got GYM LEADERS who double battled you, why didn't BW get at least a regular trainer who you were required to triple/rotation battle? To say the least, it was a tad disappointing.
 
I thought Double battles had poor representation in Ruby & Sapphire, but Triple and Rotation battles had so little exposure in Black & White, I'm not sure why they bothered making such a fuss about them. I do enjoy both on Random Match-up, so I'm hoping both Black 2 & White 2 will feature them far more in-game and also add new Triple and Rotation lines in the Battle Subway to increase their popularity.
 
I want more rotation battles.
Triple are boring, imo.
 
Please give us a battling facility with these 2 features. What was gf thinking when they excluded one of the more hyped(and exciting) features from the subway?
 
NEED Triple and Rotation Trains, please.

It's good BW had them as options in the random wifi battles, but when that's the place you've had the most 3 on 3 battles, you know there's something wrong with the game.
 
More triple and rotation would be welcomed. Especially if they're not version-specific, or if two certain trios (Cilan and co., the Dark Triad) are fought like this.
 
We need more of them. It was clear we wouldn't get a triple battle the first time around in Striaton City as a triple battle in the first gym would be way too complicated for new players. Now that Cilan and co are most likely fought at or near the end of the game it seems like a perfect opportunity.
 
They'll probably still be version specific, but maybe reversed. I would still just like more either way though, since it was a new feature that wasn't shown that much.
 
Something that kind of annoyed me about Triple and Rotation battles was how they were all solicited, meaning you could complete the main storyline without ever having one.

I'm hoping that they'll implement a more organic way for Triple/Rotation battles to happen, like how in Emerald if two trainers spot you simultaneously, they'll challenge you to a double battle. Just by having certain trainers in routes challenge you to triple/rotation battles on sight they could greatly improve the presence of these mechanics in the game.
 
I really hope we get more Rotation Battles period. And this time a battle facility that contains them (and Triples for those who enjoyed them). Just break down the whole version exclusive barrier with those things and make 'em more open.
