3vs3..?

[Jephz]

New to PU and the forums, so just want to say hi. Don't know if this has been suggested before, but I think it'll be great to be able to have 3vs3/4vs4 battles with other trainers in the game. It'll add a feel of teamwork and strategy.

Comments are welcomed.

No. Can you imagine three or four pokemon attacking a single pokemon in a turn? Not many pokemon could survive an assault like that, if any.

actually, pokemon are only able to attack adjacent pokemon in 3v3 battles.

Ex.
1 2 3
4 5 6

pokemon 4 could attack pokemon 1,2, and 5 and pokemon 2 and 5 could attack everyone. Moves like earthquake, explosion, and surf would only affect adjacent pokemon.

That would improve things, and remind me of the way they do it in Ogre Battle 64. Still sucks to be 2 or 5 though.

I believe Pokemon generation five has 3v3 battles. Not sure if this helps tough since It hasn't come out yet.

There is a good chance that there will be 3v3 battles in Pokemon Black and White. So, the best course of action would be to wait for a feature such as this. That way, we'll understand how they planned it better.

Well fact is, there is 3 on 3 pokemon battle in GenV, together with a new mode of battle called triple battle rotation.

But until all the mechanics are understood, the feature cannot be implemented in PU.

I always assume the safe approach when it comes to games and getting my hopes up; if you like the idea, assume it won't make the game. It's a long process to make a game, and sometimes things get cut.

3v3 will most likely be in the final version of the game, though.
