Double Battles

It has been stated before that in past topics about how double battles are becoming immensily unfair and for anyone who does know this information about the changes they are that once a pokemon faints another pokemon is released after all of the other pokemon have completed their moves. This means that if you would defeat your opponent's two pokemon with earthquake then your other pokemon in battle would not be able to damage any other foes due to them not being sent out to battle yet making your second pokemon considerbly useless if your other pokemon is faster and stronger with moves such as earthquake while this secondary pokemon attacking moves will barely need to be used. Another change to double battles will be that the move surf will also damage the partner of the pokemon performing this move. so the capiblities of this once powerful move are dramicticly lowered. These changes are going to change double battles in a sense that they will contain more strategy but are mostly giving more of an advantage to the weaker trainer while also making the double battles much longer than some actually should be. I would enjoy to hear the opinion of other members of this website and to know if their opinion about taking part in double battles will change in any way such as if you would want to take part in the these battles more or less often.

I think that's good because it puts more reality into the game. But I also think it is bad because I like the move Surf because it is the best Water-Move because of it's 100% accuracy and 95% power. Though I am confused when you said this:

"that once a pokemon faints another pokemon is released after all of the other pokemon have completed their moves.

Could you summarize that for me? Thanks.

Have you ever heard of paragraphs?

Simple. When a Pokemon dies in a Double Battle, but the other Pokemon doesn't faint, the attack used on the fainted Pokemon becomes useless.

They also don't send out Pokemon right after they faint, at the end of the turn they send them out.
