If VGC is the official format, then why doesn't the campaign train you for that, instead of going the Smogon route with 99% Single Battles?

>train you for that
Battling shit AI and random mons doesn't train you for anything.

Besides >>31357597
The programmers don't know if you're an autistic 7 year old that doesn't catch anything and only uses the starter.
>>31357656
Then give them two starters: one from the newest gen, and one from the gen that they're remaking afterwards.
>>31357597
It's better than literally nothing. Of course, Gamefreak probably doesn't do it because they have no idea how to build a doubles team. You'd just end up with several hundred trainers, all with plusle and minun.
>>31357597
You'll still develop strategies for your own team, like using clerics and support mons. Also, Pokemon with Doubles-specific abilities won't feel as useless.

VGC should stop being retarded and use single battles.

because doubles last longass ammount of time.
also platinum and b/w2 have a respectable amount of evil team double battles and forced double battle areas.

Thank you!

Yes, but why does battles in story mode ARE STILL SINGLES BATTLES? At least Orre games made a better work than main games making that all battles are Doubles.
