Of the options above it would have to be Team Magma's hideout. I found that infiltrating their base was more fun than with any other game in the series.

The Battle Tent, because when I got there I used to be so excited to use new Pokémon lol. I also like Faraway Island even though I never got a chance to go there. Team Magma's Hideout was also nice, and fun.

The Safari Zone for me, really enjoyed getting new Pokes such as Houndour, Quagsire, Mareep, and Teddiursa to use post-game, Houndoom was a major team player for me especially at the time. The Mirage Tower is also pretty neat along with the Desert Underpass and weather caves, pretty short but pretty fun to venture into too.

I liked Marine Cave myself out of the line-up above, the others were OK.

Team Magma's Hideout - Magma are my all time favourite team and it was such a pleasure taking my time going through their base :)

Bigger Safari Zone - Houndour, here I come <3

Battle Frontier - For the totally new experience, it was nice feeling like the adventure wasn't over :)

Also, honourable mention to the Battle Tents, it was cool having rental pokémon :)

I LOVE the Battle Frontier. It was honestly my favorite part of the game. It restored something to Pokemon I hadn't felt in a long time, challenge. Some of those places were hard. as. balls. and you know what, that's something Pokemon hasn't been in a long long time.

Battle Frontier is always a lovely place to be <3

Battle Frontier of course. So much to do there~

Sydian June 4th, 2012 9:35 AM

I like Marine Cave. It's kind of relaxing. I would totally sleep there. And although not my favorite, that Magma Hideout in Mt. Chimney was a great addition. I never thought it made sense that their base in Ruby was the same as it was in Sapphire, which of course, is on the water. Sure, there's some more land in the base, but the fact you have to Surf to get there...how did any of the members ever get there? No one on Team Magma has Pokemon able to Surf, and I know they didn't all get in that submarine. I thought that was stupid too...the guy that wants to expand land steals a submarine, which is for water, has a base, in the water, and then goes underwater for a massive drought creating Pokemon. I'm gonna go nitpick somewhere else lol.

Without hesitation, the Battle Frontier. I seriously spent hours, not to say days battling and battling again there. Although the Platinum Battle Frontier is more "elaborated", this one is and will remain my favourite one.
All the game I was looking forward to going to this famous place the guy with the blue shirt was talking about (I have forgotten his name), and I wasn't disappointed at all when I finally went there.

Ray Maverick June 4th, 2012 1:20 PM

I had to vote for 5 of those places.. yes, I actually love all of them. Each of them have captivated in a unique way.

farihazach June 4th, 2012 6:27 PM

I think the Battle Frontier is best, specifically the Battle Factory. I've always loved the Challenge Cup style from Stadium, so this was a given for me.

The large cavern just behind the Dig Maniac's home by Fallarbor is my most visited and favored area in E due to ow common the Ditto are.

What I'm doing there while playing E is save & resetting with capture of several Ditto, then Escape Rope & Fly to the Battle Frontier to see how the IV's are, good or bad. Should everything be dissatisfactory, the its a restart.

To answer myself:

I was a big fan of the Battle Frontier. It gave me something to do and still do after I had completed everything else in the game. I also liked the Mirage Tower, Terra Cave and Marine Cave, it's just a shame that they disappear after you're finished there. My least favourite would be the Battle Tents, I much preferred the contests and the Battle Tents are pointless after the Pokémon League.
