NPC assisted Doubles?

[Athumaa]

all i can find is threads on normal doubles battles. i was wondering if there will be quests in the game that would have an npc follow you around and battle other doubles npc trainers and wild pokemon. theres a part in Pokemon Platinum where you go through Eterna forest with an npc,, i just liked the idea of fighting 2 wild pokemon at once.

[Mr. Fox]

Have you played the new pokemon games? Because in them you can have a wild double battle by yourself. If the team is going to add that feature then you wouldn't need a npc.

You can? I dont remember that

[Mr. Fox]

Yeah when you go into the darker collered grass there is a chance to have a double battle with pokemon that are stronger than normal for that route, check out Serebii.net

The only problem with this idea is that the NPC would suck as a partner.

For instance, if you're on the final part of a quest and you're fighting a boss in a double battle with an NPC... there's a chance that NPC could make a hell load of wrong decisions and just lose the match for you.

I'd much rather just have a double battle with two of my own Pokémon and make all of the decisions I want to make than have an NPC screw up the entire battle for me (and even if I lose the battle by myself, at least then I can't blame anyone but myself... which would help me to improve my future strategies).

Oh you are talking about Black and White. I thot u meant D/P/P

[Mr. Fox]

Black and White, I have a rom for it on desmume

[Viper]

Ya im waiting for the full unglitched retail english version

[xhizor8201]

I dont think the NPC should follow. The doubles should just be when the NPC supposedly needs help or something like in emerald version when youre at Mossdeep City and Steven needs your help fighting team Magma at the space center.

[Mr. Fox]

Yeah i like that idea a lot

[LeoReborn]

Or instead of one specific battle, they follow you, but do not appear onscreen

[Athumaa]

i was thinking of it more from a leveling standpoint, seems to make leveling go crazy fast

[Mr. Fox]

Yeah no matter how much i hate npcs that is true.

[Frenchfry]

I don't think anything should be put in the game specifically to make levelling go faster. Hitting level 100 should be an accomplishment, not a routine.

[Mr. Fox]

The thing i hate the most about the games is it is really hard to get there. there are almost no place where you can battle high lv pokemon, above lv 55.
