3rd Gen I love using rental Pokemon!

[Perriechu]

Keeping this short and sweet because I need to sleep. and it's christmas day

What's your favorite Battle Frontier facility from Emerald? And why? (Don't say anything from Platinum because this is specifically for Emerald)

Mine has to be the Factory, I love using Rental Pokemon and I love the difficulty it brings with it. As you get into the higher streaks the Pokemon for rental become a lot better and have better movesets etc.

 

[Pyrax]

The Battle Dome would be my choice. I simply love how it's layed out as a tournament. I'd also have to mention the Battle Palace, since I didn't have control over my pokémon throughout the battles there.

 

[psyanic]

I want to burn the Battle Palace to the ground with Palace Maven Spencer in it. That was the single most annoying facility in the whole game. It's the most despicable location in the Pokemon games for me. That blasted Slaking would slack off, but my Pokemon conveniently decided not to attack. I finally did beat it with Weezing...

I'm going to echo with Pyrax with the Battle Dome. Loved the layout and the final battle was pretty darn fun. Sometimes I'd copy the bracket down on a sheet of paper and fill it out and try to make predictions like the NCAA March Madness tournament, so it got fun. Too bad that somehow all the dark horse trainers made it to the finals -_-;

 

[Nylonica]

I adored the Battle Tower, it was probably the biggest building in the whole game and it just amazed my when I first saw it.(I was young)

 

[Markichuuuuu]

I agree with the op. I love the Battle Factory. I like picking rental Pokémon and trying to make strategies with them.

 

[Mr.Destructo]

Battle factory ftw! I mean it's just so awesome.

 

[Sydian]

THE DOMEEEE. Oddly enough, the only one I've beaten the brain in is the Pike haha. Pike is second though. I find it entertaining since it's so random. Dome is fun cause it's...a dome. idk. I like the tourney style.

 

[Alexander Nicholi]

I second Sydian on the Battle Dome, probably because my PokéNav friends always call me up and say "<player>! <player>! I heard! You became the CHAMPION of the BATTLE DOME <number> times!". Plus, I get to be on stage and famous and all that… :)

 

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

Mines is the Battle Pike because I found it to be really easy and most of the rooms I went into involved wild uncatchable Pokemon.


:t354:TG

 

[Who's Kiyo?]

Dome for sure.

I'd loved to read the tourneys and see what the game said about me and everyone else. Oh, memories. <3
That was really fun to me for some reason, and getting on that stage and proving my worth made me feel like something special.

Also, the brain is a man wearing a glittery pink fairy suit. Not a single f was given by that man. Respect.

 

[miltankRancher]

Factory. I am too lazy to spend much time to EV train Pokemon, that's why i love using fully trained rental Pokemon. And I like its randomness. I once got a Metagross, Heracross, and a Ludicolo for a team \o/

 

[Ritzz]

Pike. Only one I actually beat.

 

[Brittani]

Battle Factory for sure. I always love the challenge of being put out of your comfort zone, having to use rental pokemon. The way I see it, developing strategies for pokemon you may not be familiar with is always fun and helps broaden your knowledge of pokemon as well.

 

[DowntownDumpling]

Probably the Battle Pike, followed by the Factory. I've only done the Pyramid once, but I thought it was interesting as well.

 

[Snivy063]

Battle Factory, having those rental Pokemon sure is a lot of fun since you really have to think of strategies, combinations and stuff which makes it more interesting! Battle Pike comes in second, it was really easy for me! :3

 

[Palkia]

The battle factory is probably my pick as you don't have to train powerful Pokemon to have a chance to win. I like how it's all about strategy really and not about grinding for hours or even days.

 

[WolfsbaneCharm52]

I hate them all because I suck to bad to go anywhere in any of them. Grumpy face.

 

[Knight of Time]

That one, where the Pokemon battle by themselves
Forgot the name now, but long story short, and spamming "a"/ leaving it to luck isn't a bad thing, at least not to me

 

[Brendino]

I always liked the Battle Factory over all of the other facilities, and it is still my favorite in Gen IV. I also had a love/hate relationship with the Battle Pike. I made it to the Frontier Brain at least a dozen times, but I could never seem to beat her Milotic.

 

[Amekage]

Glad to see all the Battle Factory appreciation; it's my favourite as well. It was the only one I ever got to the Frontier Brain for before my Emerald was stolen. :C

I loved being able to experiment with Pokemon that weren't your own (also, my Pokemon kinda sucked and I had a hard time beating anybody with them...).
