Favorite Frontier Brain
 
Who's your favorite frontier brain in this generation?

Pike Queen Lucy is my favorite. She is my second favorite Pokemon character after Sabrina. She is tough though.

Palace Maven Spencer is my favourite for the pure fact his name sounds awesome. Seriously who do you know that is a Palace Maven. Plus old guys with staffs are so cliché there cool. Not a fan of Tucker though, not sure if thats a man or a woman.....

Lucy or Brandon. Mainly because they look the best, not to mention they use some of the cooler Pokemon (imo though, I like Seviper and Regice).

It's Lucy for me. I was totally crazy about the Battle Pike, I thought it was really funny.
Moreover, Lucy is the very first Frontier Brain I battled with.
She's beautiful, she's strong, she managed to fall in love with Brock in the anime (amazing thing, it's so much rare, poor guy... :pink_no:), she's kind but full of energy...
I really appreciate her.

Lucy because she reminds me of Sabrina (the Gym Leader in the Kanto region) and she has a tough/strong personality. Her strategies and battling style in the game were also quite challenging.

100 percent Pike Queen Lucy, she was the first brain I beat and she was the easiet one.

Lucy because she was by far the easiest to get to. Good luck if gold is your goal, though. (Imagine my rage when I found out that she doesn't appear until the tenth iteration after getting to 57 rooms cleared.)

Reflections on the others:

Spenser's facility has a unique concept, but I'd say that the Palace tests your luck far more than the Pike ever will.

Arena...oh god, this one was a nightmare. I eventually reached and defeated Greta, though. Lost in the first round of the fight immediately afterward, but SO WORTH IT.

Battle Pyramid has a fun concept that includes scrounging for items and weighing the risk of battling a Trainer against the reward of the information they might offer as well as increasing the radius of illumination. However, I have stumbled across layouts where every exit from the starting room is "guarded" by a Trainer, though the fact that they only have one Pokemon each helps. Brandon is also fun to fight because of his tossing legends in your face.

Tucker...again, a pain in the ass to beat. I reached him multiple times on level 50 but never won, then tried open level, more or less aped his lineup, got the matchup advantage and won handily. I then kept going and lost in the finals of my seventh tourney. The amount of prep work involved for each battle makes this facility very stressful.

Noland was fun, Factory is fun if rage-inducing, but if you're satisfied with just silver, it's not that bad. (Open Level is the way to go here, as they're all fully evolved.)

Anabel...I don't have an opinion on her, because I'VE NEVER FREAKING REACHED HER. Got to battle #34 once before falling apart in the face of a Gyarados.

PlatinumDude December 12th, 2011 7:19 PM

I like Noland because of the variety of Pokemon he uses. Even though I didn't battle Anabel or Brandon yet, I voted for them because of their anime appearances.

psyanic December 12th, 2011 8:32 PM

I actually liked Tucker. His battle was fun. His Latias, for the Gold Symbol battle, was a tough cookie and I got it down eventually. I don't really care that he was an extreme fruitcake. I only care for the battle. And his introduction was probably the most fun to watch since he had animation and all, while the others just walked in and said, "Hey kid, let's battle!"

Brandon... I chose him too. It's a grey area for me really. He had a very fun battle, though both his teams have very exploitable weaknesses. Yet, he was still a bit tough. I kind of judge him like his facility, I don't really like it nor do I dislike it. I still place him as my top since he used the coolest Pokemon and that he was probably the hardest Brain, to get to at least.

Lucy was just terrible. I know she's easy as her battles are, but that Shuckle of hers is demonic. I hated having to use a specific team just for her battle. I had to have a Taunter for the Shuckle.

Noland is just flat-out unpredictable so there's literally no say here, except that I think the game cheats and purposely gives him uber Pokemon that will completely counter your team.

Dave666 December 14th, 2011 1:20 PM

My favorites was Lucy, don't know why exactly, but i really like her as a frontier brain

miju-kun December 17th, 2011 12:48 AM

Greta, Noland and Lucy. Mostly Lucy because of her design lol.

mikey December 23rd, 2011 2:58 PM

I like Lucy the best, she was the first one I battled and she looks cool :3

Spades Slick December 24th, 2011 9:13 AM

Lucy, because she's cute and her reaction to Brock in the anime was even cuter

Ritzz December 24th, 2011 11:51 AM

Lol a lot of people say Lucy, and I have to agree. Mainly because she's the only one I managed to get to. :3

Perriechu December 24th, 2011 6:02 PM

I have a few favorite brains actually... I'd say Noland and Lucy, they're just so awesome. :3 I dislike Tucker because his portrayal in the anime was awful IMO. I guess Spencer and Brandon were kinda cool, but my top two are Lucy and Noland.

Palamon December 30th, 2011 8:49 AM

Lucy for me. Lucy was the first Frontier Brain I beat--so she is my favorite .My second favorite is Tucker.

miltankRancher December 31st, 2011 6:58 PM

Noland. All is fair with him, as his pokemon are all random. Unlike the other brains, you actually need to train three of your pokemon, which I am lazy to do.

Nick January 21st, 2012 5:56 PM

Anabel, because I prefer her design to all the rest. She's so majestic. Lucy is a close second.

Hyrule January 21st, 2012 11:16 PM

Lucy, simply because she was pretty hot and had cool Pokemon.

XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE February 9th, 2012 12:06 PM

I don't often go with the majority but in this case I have to - out of these Frontier Brains, it's Lucy for me as well :)

DrFuji February 9th, 2012 10:48 PM

Lucy for sure - I've always enjoyed the Battle Pike and her character design ticks all of my boxes. She is also the easiest Brain in my opinion so that only adds to how much I like her no rage for me :D
