So why hasn't GameFreak made double battles the standard for in-game battles? They're clearly balancing the game around the Doubles format, and their tournaments are all Doubles. Why are we still battling NPC trainers in single battles 98% of the time?
I mean, I know they're not made by GF but Colosseum and Gale of Darkness got by with doing it just fine.
I would guess that it's much easier to exploit garbage AI in double battles.

But that wasn't a problem in Colosseum and (as far as I remember) Gale of Darkness. The NPC trainers (the Cipher Admins especially) used actual fucking strategies.
The better question is why they haven't made a doubles 6v6 and singles 6v6 format instead of their current meme formats.

Would take too long.

because the frame-rate gets ass.

That's the fault of GameFreak's incompetence, not the format itself.
