However, Emerald mixed it up a bit and started the Battle Frontier - a series of buildings with different challenges (Battle Pike, Pyramid, etc etc) that all required different techniques to get medals at 21 and 49 wins.
Do you think ORAS will bring back the Frontier, which hasn't been included in any Pokemon game since HGSS, or will they go back to their roots and only have the Battle Tower?

I think a Battle Frontier will definitely return; otherwise, we'll be hearing the complaints of "no post-game" yet again like XY has been burdened with. XY's Battle Maison (the "Kalos Battle Tower", for all intents and purposes) actually has "facility leaders" and more battle modes than the Ruby/Sapphire Battle Tower.. Kalos also had another battle facility (the Battle Chateau, which can arguably be seen as a 'second' battle facility of sorts) and people still complained, so "Battle Tower only" isn't going to cut it these days, I'm afraid. And Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver had a (copied from Sinnoh) Battle Frontier, so Pokemon OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire will have to at least match that feat to be perceived as 'good' remakes.

Can't believe this thread even exists. No contest I want and expect to see the Hoenn Battle Frontier in some form. Now the question should be if 'Z' will adapt this Battle Frontier like how HGSS had a copy and paste of Platinum's or have one similar to it.

This.

I just hope they make in battle arenas a bit more exciting and prettier than they were in Emerald. They were mighty bland, tbh.

I didn't think all of them were that bland! D: The Battle Dome even gave you a spotlight stage and audience and confetti (with the audience increasing in number accordingly as you advance in rounds to the final battle)! The Battle Arena also looked like a neat dojo-esque area, with the Battle Palace containing a serene "nature" indoors environment (it had regular grass, unreachable "wild Pokemon" tall grass, and some little bodies of water) that was a fresh change of pace from the standard indoor battlefields. The Battle Pike's areas may feel a bit monotonous... The Battle Pyramid Frontier Brain battlefield was nice, at least, since it was at the peak of the whole place next to a sunset! In any case, I have a feeling that the battlefields (the overworld perspective and the during-battle perspective) will look a lot more vibrant and dynamic like the ones from XY.

The Battle Arena was a cool concept, I'd forgotten about that one.
As for making The Battle Tower realistic, some sort of full-building view the first time you enter each facility would be really chill. The Battle Palace looked really cool last time and it would've been awesome to be able to see all of it. 3D versions of everything... I shouldn't get ahead of myself ;__;

Do you mean like "eyecatches" for each building or something different..? :o As for the Hoenn Battle Tower, I hope that it looks like the presentation from Pokemon Destiny Deoxys (which the Battle Dome kind of represents a bit more).. An energetic audience clamoring for battle; elevators with soothing yet menacing in coloration, adorned with expansive windows that capture gorgeous scenery as the combatants ascend to the battlefield; and a flying (via hovercraft) announcer dude with a microphone! XD
