battle tower rage?
okay.
here's what annoys me a tad - R/S - battle tower only. E - battle plaza thingy LG/FR - trainer tower thing..? D/P - ANOTHER BATTLE TOWER Pt/HG/SS - THE BATTLE FRONTIER why. just why did GameFreak already have the general idea for a battle park/frontier thing, but they chose instead to give us a battle TOWER in D/P? really. I mean, all the (other) new things in emerald were transferred into D/P, but the battle park/frontier thing...? anyone else having this rage? |
I suppose they did that so that the third version of the game would have an additional selling point to garner more sales - for instance with Platinum - few additions to what is otherwise a very similar plot and some fixes e.g. surfing speed would not sell too well, but suddenly an additional gaming mode that gives a heck of a lot more gametime to those interested in it is a rather significant addition! A number of people buy it solely for the frontier aspect in fact.
Seems to be the typical thing they do anyways with it. |
remember gamefreak and the pokemon company are trying to make a profit.
as bobandbill stated, it increases the consumers interest by adding a whole new section of battling. Otherwise it would be a faster D/P game. no point in buying it. |
You forgot Crystal as it was the first game with the Battle Tower.
|
It could be the money thing, or it could because they hadn't come up with the new battling concepts at the time of D/P's release. Which still boils down to money because they wanted to rush D/P to production instead of waiting until they had ideas for a "true" Frontier in those games.
What really annoyed me, though, was how the Frontier in Platinum and in HG/SS was identical. |
I don't have that rage at all. There's a perfectly good reason for the Battle Frontier not in R/S/D/P. GF is saving the best parts (move tutors and Battle Frontier) of the video games for the third games (Emerald and Platinum).

But yeah, having a Battle Tower only was kinda stale. I never thought about it in the way of making more sales for Platinum, but it makes sense. |
crystal had a battle tower? wat?
anyways, it makes sense, but it's still annoying and kinda, you know, boring. when I got diamond I was especially hopeful for the Battle Thing because I only had sapphire and I missed it altogether. I was dissapoint. :( |
I find the battle tower enough on it's own, although i loved the Battle frontier in emerald, and i didn't really like the Platinum one
|
Yeah, it's just to make a profit and more reason to buy Platinum. I had the same anger because I had only leafgreen, diamond, pearl,and ruby. But eventually I got Platinum for my Birthday. :|

That didn't annoy me, what annoyed me was the cheapness of the trainers in the Battle Frontier lol.
