I really enjoy them, it's rotation battles I don't like. There is almost no strategy available!
I like double battles a lot. It varies up fights, and lets me use strategies that don't work in single fights. I wouldn't like it if every battle was a double battle, but I wish there were more.
I love double battles. My favorite team is actually focused on double battles more than single battles.
I hate how double battles make surf and earthquake unusable since it hurts your other pokemon and only does half damage to the 2 opponent pokemon.
I use earthquake all the time with my Emolga/Seismitoad pair. Then I have the Emolga use discharge or shock wave. Hit both foes every turn without harming my guys.
There are many flyer / levitate Pokemon that learn earthquake. You can use those.
Or you can have some Pokemon with Water Absorb ability and enjoy healing and damage at the same time by using surf.
In White for doubles I would always start off with Haxorus + Earthquake and Archeops + Rock Slide. Needless to say it fucked some shit up.
Not as much as I hate TRIPLE battles, that's for sure.
I like them within their own little metagame: when me and a few friends agree to have them in advance and prepare. I don't like them being sprung on me in the game with my usual party.
Nope, I love them. I guess I can understand why you don't like them, but they aren't that frequent, you can mostly avoid the double grass, and when playing against other people decide to not do them.
