6th Gen The Battle Frontier

[ShadowSlashz]

Well I hope the emerald frontier returns just renamed as the resort with the battle maison added in!
it could just be a rename of battle frontier or there could be 2 areas battle frontier and battle resort?


other things have been renamed like secret bases to super secret bases etc.


My only hope is for Lucy of the battle pike to return!


Please Gamefreak!

Well, from the new trailer, we see that we battle Deoxys in space, AKA the Final Frontier.

Wait.

Battle Deoxys in the Final Frontier.

Battle Frontier.

Battle Frontier in space confirmed. (Zeta/Omicron did it)

What if... Nintendo added fake stuff into the demo because they knew people would hack into it to leak stuff early, and half of the stuff leaked is actually fake. We might have the normal Battle Frontier back, and they just through an illusion in there.

The Battle Frontier is this area that you can access after beating the game (first appeared in Crystal, but the more notable appearance was in Emerald, Platinum and HGSS) It basically was a place where you could battle, but it had different rules that made things interesting. Like Rental Pokemon where you had to use rental pokemon. Or battle Arcade where you would spin a roulette and get different effects, or just other stuff.

The first appearance of the Frontier was in Emerald. Crystal had only the Battle Tower.

Maybe they only left some parts of the Frontier in there, like the name Battle Resort. Similar to how Zinnia's info was in the Demo but nothing about Episode Delta itself seemed to have been in the coding.

Apparently Battle Points can be obtained. I'm not sure if this is just for the Battle Facility or from the new Battle Court in Mauville City, but iirc you received BPs from the Battle Frontier in Emerald.

Because it gave trainers more options to battle in Emerald than just a plain Battle Tower in Ruby and Sapphire.

yes but whats so fun about just battling npc's without any plot going on..

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

The plot ends practically after defeating the evil team, and if we're lucky we get some post game side story. So the Battle Frontier gives us something to do with all the post game training. Also the Emerald Frontier is by far more fun than the Sinnoh/Johto one (you know just saying incase you haven't played the Emerald one considering the numbers that did are going down as older fans are replaced by new fans).

What's so fun about beating Gym Leaders in that case?

 

[janejane6178]

beating a gym leader is a part of the plot.. and it lets u go on further in the game, unlike battling without any goal

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Why even continue to play the game post game in that case? Or even after defeating the evil team for that matter as the plot practically ends there? The BF at least gives us something to do with our Pokemon after the plot ends.

The goal is to collect the Frontier Symbols and complete the collection, like completing the Pokedex. You could also earn BP to trade for prizes. It's not pointless and it was fun for people who had a goal in mind.

If they think about bringing back the extreme hax AI of the Frontier I'd rather not see it.

I really hope that Emerald's BF is added to OR and AS. More specifically, the Battle Dome! I use to love that place. If not I'll have my fingers crossed for a Delta Emerald...

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

The facilities are always Hax...XY's Battle Maison takes it to the extreme...

Yeah, because it's totally a good idea to remake a game just because of a certain battle facility when ORAS already add to the Rayquaza mythos more than Emerald ever had.

 

[ShadowSlashz]

I wonder what facility they ment?

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

@ Cerberus Well those of us who were for Hoenn remakes mainly wanted them to re-experience the region in new graphics even though we could obtain all of the Hoenn Pokemon from XY and previous generations, and RSE are still playable unlike RGBYGSC(which had inferior batteries compared to RSE) as long as one has a GBA or a pre-DSi version of the DS.)
