Is the Battle Subway better than the Battle Frontier
 
Which is better Battle Subway or Battle Frontier

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ July 30th, 2011 6:38 AM

I personally like the Battle Frontier better because there was more to it than Battling. With the Battle subway, all you have is just battling whether it was doubles or even singles it got kind of boring. But with the Battle Frontier (I'm going to talk about the 4th Generation one) it had the Battle arcade which you can at random get things added to your team such as levels, or status inflections.

The battle frontier is about a thousand times better than the Battle Subway, the battle frontier had more to it. It was more fun, however, I like the Gen III Emerald Frontier 1000 times more than the HG/SS one...

Battle Frontier for me, but bounds are - if there is a third game, a battle frontier could even show up in Unova like Gen 3 and 4.

the battle subway gets kinda boring after a while. the battle frontier has more to do plus you could also teach your pokemon moves with BP you earn, an aspect i miss in 5th gen.

Battle Frontier has more to do than Battle Subway. Though in the third game my opinion could change, if they add more interesting battle frontier-like features.

PlatinumDude July 30th, 2011 9:00 AM

Battle Frontier > Battle Subway. There's more things to do in the Frontier, and there's a reason why the Frontier wasn't put in B/W (to save it for the third version).

So to everyone who said Battle Frontier I agree myself there is no replacement for the battle factory my favorite facility and a load of other things in the battle Frontier, in the subway there are just battles like the battle tower. :)

Xander Olivieri July 30th, 2011 1:18 PM

Battle Subway only replaced the Battle tower not the entire battle frontier. If the Frontier comes back then Subway will be in place of Tower.

Kenshin5 July 30th, 2011 1:25 PM

It doesn't offer any faculties outside of what the Battle Tower has offered. But if I remember correctly Ruby and Sapphire only offered Battle Tower then it was expanded upon in Emerald so maybe they will build upon it Third Version.

I think emerald on the whole is the best game as well as the frontier being amazing

I like the battle frointer way better

The Battle Frontier Has Always Been My Favorite. Sure Some Of The Battles There Were Removed In The Fourth Gen, But It's Still My Favorite.

cazzler July 31st, 2011 12:18 AM

Battle Frontier is loads better than the subway, but I like the GEN III one the most, since it really has variety, (I can't remember the names of the facilities) You had ones were you rent Pokemon, the luck one (big Seviper building) the Pyramid was also challenging, you also had the facility were your Pokemon fight by themselves, the moves they use depend on their nature.

So all in all I like the battle frontier better. I can't wait till they remake R/S/E.

Ho-Oh July 31st, 2011 12:25 AM

Yeah moving this to PGC. If it were a "do you like battle subway?" thread, it'd fit in B/W, but since it's more of a comparison between the two, it fits in PCG. :)

As for me, I prefer the Subway simply because it's not as complicated as the Frontier appears to be, lol. Though really I haven't used either much, sooo...

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ August 1st, 2011 3:41 AM

I don't really care, hax luck runs rampant in both so I avoid both like the plague. There is more to do in the Frontier, so if someone pointed a knife at my throat and forced me to choose, I guess I'd say the Frontier.

SoopahScizor August 2nd, 2011 7:19 AM

Gen III battle frontier by a long shot

legendarypokemon August 2nd, 2011 9:25 AM

fronteir ftw. even though i havent been to subway

ChrisTheChaosGamer August 6th, 2011 8:11 PM

i would have to say that i prefer the frontier over the subway. i find that there is more diversity between the different modes to use your pokemon (or in the case of the battle factory where you are given different pokemon) especially the arcade and castle. i find they should've done more with that than what they did.

Pokemon Trainer Touko August 6th, 2011 8:41 PM

I like both of them tbh... xD

Battle frontier - More stuff + less complicated
Battle subway - 3D!!~ >u<;

[Your Name Here] August 8th, 2011 6:55 AM

Battle Frontier is way better, as it has more unique ways of battling. Battle Subway is well... just a subway.

Zaicon August 14th, 2011 5:33 PM

As everyone else in this thread has said, the Battle Frontier from Emerald is much better than the current Battle Subway.

bobandbill August 16th, 2011 1:12 AM

It's kind of an unfair comparison - the Frontier usually has 5 sort of challenges with four being more fleshed out/different than the standard 'battle! =D' sort of challenge the subway offers. I'd think a comparison between the Battle Tower/s against the Battle Subway, which both have roughly the same sort of challenge offered up (not talking difficulty here mind), would be a better one to make.

That is true If you asked me that then Battle Tower, it's because there was open level.

No. I still prefer Battle Frontier from Emerald, and I only ride the subway if someone wants to do a double with me or to get the star on my trainer card.
