    Hordes are a great way to get EVs but other than that they're an insane pain, especially if you're fighting Pokémon that have intimidate or an ability similar that activates at the beginning of the battle. Takes a while to get through it but I'm thankful we have the option to turn off battle animations.

    I still appreciate how much easier they make EV training (really, really do) because super training is veeery slow and boring. :(

    Hordes are a blessing when it comes to EV training, but can be a real nightmare when you're just playing and have to escape. If you fail that poor lead Pokémon of yours can be in for quite a beating. Is also a great way to level grind if you're just playing through the game.

    All in all I really like hordes battles.

    This pretty much says it for me. I remember the first time I was in a horde battle, it was with a bunch of Scraggy that kept using Sand-Attack and Leer, which got very annoying after a while. And just to rub it in my face, one of them had Intimidate (its HA), which sadly I didn't even end up getting the one with. Not a fun time when you don't have something to hit every opponent.

    Horde battles I really loved, as it makes ev training so much easier, and good for shiny hunting. The Trainer Horde Battles in ORAS I cannot wait to kick their butt :p

    I like them because it's good ev training which I finally got into. I also like the fact that you get the chance to find a Pokémon with its hidden ability although trying to find one can be a pain in the neck and very tedious.

    Hordes are an awesome new feature. I like how much easier it is now to EV train and to find hidden ability Pokémon. Also, I love the increased rate it provided for shinies (even though I have yet to find any).
