6th Gen Battle Hill

[HoennTM]

We may know of the Battle Hill (I think it's called) just north of Mauville, do you guys think that this will be implemented? It's not a very popular place after all.

Maybe it'll be turned into a place where we can participate in the triple and inverse battles which aren't common outside of facilities.

 

[HoennTM]

Hey, that's not a bad idea. I would play it more if they implemented that.

 

[Elaitenstile]

You mean Trainer Hill? It was pretty stupid an idea, maybe they wanted to promote battle facilities like the Battle Tent they added, but it ended up being ignored, because the first time I visited it it was under construction and that route didn't have anything special other than a few berry spots anyway. Maybe it's role can be extended like OR&AS suggested.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Or perhaps they could make it into a street pass thing where we battle characters we pass by (if they decide to not have us battle them in Secret Bases).

Battle Hill was gross and dumb in Emerald. I think I only ever used it for the really close Nurse Joy, and the PC, but otherwise I never challenged it. It just seemed like a pretty pointless feature in the game what with all of the Battle Tents AND the Battle Frontier. Plus, the only way to get any other Trainers in there was with one of those Card Readers, a feature they never even sent to half the world (iirc). That building really is the most pointless thing and you don't even get a reward for it. :c

So, no, I hope I never have to see it again.

I thought it was kind of boring, especially since it's completely overshadowed by the Battle Frontier. I won't be upset if it comes back, but I mean, it's not hurting anyone if it does, so I wouldn't be upset either way, really.

If they do add Battle Hill in ORAS, I'd like them to enable us to gain experience from here. That way, it'd actually have a purpose; it'd be another place for us to train. :] If all these exp. are boosted (by about 2% to 5% or so), then that would be even better. If not, then I'd like them to remove this place completely and replace it with some other thing.

I personally hope Battle Hill isn't in ORAS; if it is, I hope that it implements Triple/Rotation/Inverse battles. I can also see it being replaced with something like the Battle Chateau, or some other new or recycled battle facility (be it a competitive or non-competitive one).

 

[Pepperton]

Agreed with the general consensus of previous posts. Battle Hill was a pretty bland feature in the originals, and if implemented in ORAS, it would need some new components to help spice it up. Allowing experience gain would be a big factor in bringing the Hill to relevance, but otherwise, I don't want to see it return.

Um..it's Trainer Hill..just sayin'. :P (but it might as well be "Battle Hill" since it seems so Battle Frontier-ish.. XD)

Hey, now! You can get some snazzy Revives...and Great Balls.. {XD} And the English version apparently got a lot of Trainers added from the Trainer Hill e-Reader cards (as in, they're essentially "bundled" with the game instead of the player having to retrieve the necessary cards to add them), so there's that.. But the whole thing is kind of pointless with the substantial (and randomized-to-an-extent) Battle Frontier, so I can see how the Trainer Hill can lose appeal.. I use it way more than the Battle Tents (all of which tend to have weak opponents), that's for sure..

This (although I'm not sure whether this is possible, since the original implementation was that the levels for the Trainer Hill Trainers' Pokemon are the same level as the player's highest-leveled party Pokemon).

Hmm...I liked the Trainer Hill, it was a great place to:
-test battle efficiency (since you're timed)
-hatch Pokemon eggs (I mean, you can't pass up an awesome location name for the Trainer Memo like Trainer Hill!)
-look at (seriously, I just love staring at the tilesets and structure designs in there..!)
-run around on the little "song mats" and listen to the nicely-placed snippets of the Hoenn Route 101 theme, the Pallet Town theme, and the "Hoenn Gym Leader Defeated!" theme. :)
-listen to the Ruby/Sapphire Battle Tower theme in Pokemon Emerald (aside from the little houses/rooms that are strewn across the Battle Frontier itself)

A Battle Chateau overhaul of Trainer Hill would be nice, as long as the Pokemon are all high-leveled.. Additionally, the prizes should be way better (high-quality items like Liechi Berry, Leftovers, PP Up/PP Max, or something!).

I hope the Battle Hill would be a more constructive place to fight? Maybe have two levels, one for normal gameplay and one for competitive gameplay? And I hope Streetpass or FCs can get a part in this too. :3
