6th Gen Battle Tower or Battle Frontier?

No that's not what I was talking about. Its near the Resort Area if I'm remembering correctly and it was replaced by the Battle Frontier in Platinum. Can't remember what it was called though.
Oh! The Battle Zone and that area you're referring to is Battle Park.

Thanks. Apparently the Battle Park just contains the Battle Tower. That's weird. I liked the Battle Tower in Sapphire and FireRed but for some reason found Diamond's version bad.
 
Battle Frontier is a must have. It made Emerald extremely fun to play after the main game was over.
 
Good lord almighty, please let the remakes have the Battle Frontier. I will cry.
 
Oh, definitely Frontier. If they just have us stick with Battle Tower, it'll be a major bummer to pretty much everybody. :(
 
Battle frontier, it includes the battle tower and the other frontier facilities, maybe with some more upgrades and new challenges to test our gaming skills.
 
I'm leaning towards the Battle Frontier as it has more features and stuff. It was fun and exciting to be there unlike the others like Kiloude City and stuff :/
 
The only changes I want, besides those I've mentioned, are for the island to be expanded and for the cave to have more than simply Smeargles.

Expanding the island itself could be nice.. I actually liked that Artisan Cave (ugh..I feel like it should be Artisan's Cave XD) had only Smeargle in it, as you didn't have to worry about other Pokemon species popping up if you were trying to perform pseudo-random-number-generator (PRNG) manipulation in Pokemon Emerald. Also, despite Effort Value (EV) training still being tedious, Artisan Cave helped immensely in that regard, as it was a place where you could consistently reap only Speed Effort Values (from the Smeargle) and you didn't have to worry about messing up your EV intake with an unwanted EV from another stat (such as Attack). Given XY's Horde Battle feature, if Smeargle Hordes occur in Artisan Cave, I would expect that it would be quite wonderful for people that are EV Training a Pokemon in the Speed stat. Not to mention Smeargle's vital utility in terms of Pokemon breeding and experimenting with numerous moves by use of Sketch - the monotype appearance of Smeargle in Artisan Cave meant that you knew that you could reliably find Smeargle without wasting time in encountering unwanted Pokemon (which the rest of Hoenn is for, pretty much).

However, I feel that more wild Pokemon should be in the water areas.. For some odd reason, you couldn't catch any Pokemon by fishing in Emerald's Hoenn Battle Frontier waters; that was so weird.. XD
 
Battle Frontier by a land slide. The Tower in Ruby/Sapphire seemed incredibly irrelevant and I didn't even bother trying it out. On the other hand, I loved the Battle Frontier, and vividly remember spending hours trying to take on the various challenges it posed. I hope that it comes back in ORAS, and with the 3D make over, it'll be visually gorgeous as well as fun. n__n
 
I would hope for them to have the Emerald Battle Frontier, especially since that would include the Battle Tower and thus kill two birds with one stone. Plus, I love the Emerald Battle Frontier more than any other battle facility, so I'd be disappointed if it didn't come back ;;
 
If I had to have one--only one--Emerald feature return in these remakes, it would be the Battle Frontier. Now would be the best time to reintroduce it for gen 6: it makes sense because these are RSE remakes, and they could...reuse...it...for the next gen 6 game? Timeline permitting? If they don't reuse the characters for timeline reasons, they can at least reuse the facilities!
 
I say Both. Theres No reason not to have them co-exist, though I wish Mt. Battle was a consideration, that was a workout.
 
Crystal - Battle Tower
HGSS - Battle Frontier

I'll be disappointed to say the least if ORAS doesn't feature a full Battle Frontier.
 
The Battle Frontier in Emerald was the best addition ever imo. Absolutely love it.
