PVP Battles and Rules

Hey guys. I was thinking about the PVP battles everyone seems to want so much. If we ever do get them, do you think there will be some kind of swapping limits? When I am taking down gyms, I swap pokemon all the time, to maximize efficiency. If both players were doing this, it seems like battles would just time out, or someone would take a dissadvantage. Or do you think they would be turn based like in the games? Just curious about everyones opinions.

6 on 6, can switch Pokémon when a match ends, but not during a match. The trainer who has a higher level picks his/her Pokémon first to be fair, turn-based is just boring.

That's a good idea. But there will be a totally new skill needed for pvp - dodging without the flash. I've posted a few times about wanting Niantic to delete the dodge flash when attacking gyms so we can prepare ourselves for PvP. Otherwise it will be spam hell during PvP and only the stronger mon would win. That would be so boring because no skill is needed.

Its for that reason that I kind of don't expect pvp battles will be coming any time soon. It just doesn't seem like it would be very fun.

Pokémon is heavily influenced by Trading and PvP. I'm really hoping they implement this and I'm not saying ASAP. Catching stuff and the trashy gym mechanics isn't really A+.
