I like the real-time with an option to make turn based decisions. Like Kotor, Fallout 3 or Mass Effect. If a battle is easy then i dont worry about making complex tactical decisions and just blast my way through. Otherwise I can sit back, take my time and decide how I want to approach the battle.
I have nothing against pure turn-based but I prefer that I have at least control over my characters positions like in pretty much any SRPG. The whole enemies fighting each other in a line doesnt cut it for me, the battle simply becomes a matter of who has better equipment/stats or knowing enemy's weakness, which is usually not hard (Fire is Super Effective against grass pokemon).
