If a double battle is supposed to start when two trainers meet another trainer, how come it didin't in Castelia City?

Question

I arrive on the 47th floor, with ma Elekid.
Lookin' so cool
Then we meet this trainer
Lookin' like a fool
He runs up to us
About to get schooled
But then we also realize that we're standing in the way of another trainer
He looks like he farms Mareeps for Wool
Why didn't a double battle start? I had to go talk to the other trainer to battle, but he did give me balls! (timer balls)

Answer 1

The developers program the Double battles into the game, and they choose where they happen. So that wasn't meant to be a Double Battle.
