Battles:- Triple Battles:
Folowing on from the Double battle style introduced within Ruby & Sapphire, Black & White introduces the evolution of the multi-Pokémon battles and brings the Triple Battles. Triple battles involve you sending out half of your team against your opponents. As such, new mechanics are to be brought in for move targetting to allow for all 3 opponents to be targeted and moves that will hit all five other Pokémon in the field. It is likely that Triple battles will play a significant role within the gameplay.
- Targeting Pokemon:
The targetting of the Triple Battles is determined solely by the position in the battlefield. The Pokémon in the middle has the ability to damage all the Pokémon on the field. However, the Pokémon to the sides can only target the Pokémon directly opposite and the ones in the middle. This will make strategy even more interesting. You have the ability to Move the Pokémon around during battle, but this function uses your turn and so will keep you vulnerable to attacks. In addition to that, Pokémon in the middle will do more damage to all the other Pokémon when using an attack that damages all its foes than a Pokémon to the side.
- Rotation:
Another new battle feature is the Rotation Battle. This battle is set out like a Triple Battle but has a brand new means to battle. Here, like with Triple Battles, you send out three Pokémon. However, the stage your Pokémon are on can rotate. You only battle one Pokémon versus one Pokémon with the other Pokémon pushed at the back. However, when you're battling, you will have the ability of rotating the stage clockwise or anti-clockwise making another of your Pokémon the main Pokémon you intend to use.
This does not take your turn away and you have the ability to attack immediately with your new main Pokémon. The rotation appears to be the first thing that happens in the turn so Speed is calculated after the rotation.
Trading:- Trading with past games:
Unlike Pal Park though, the method of obtaining them here is a simple minigame. On the top screen, you wil willsee various bushes and the six Pokémon will jump between various ones. Your task here is to use a Bow which shoots out Pokéballs to try and capture them. This is controlled with the touch screen and requires good aiming. There is a reticule on the topscreen so you can see where the ball is likely to land. There is also a time limit to the capture here.
Random Information:
- Animated Sprites in battles.
- Higher level of 3D graphics.
- When talking to people in select environments, like a Pokémon Center and Poké Mart, speech balloons for dialog will appear over people's heads.
