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.
There was nothing. Followed by everything. Swirling, burning specks of creation that circled life-giving suns. And then we reached to the light.

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. :)

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.
