3rd Gen Favourite Battle Frontier Facility?

[Lysander]

Can be from either Emerald's Battle Frontier or from Platinum/HGSS's frontier. Which battle facility was your favourite?

I recently spent quite a bit of time going through the Battle Pyramid on Emerald. I liked being able to collect items to use or equip and having different items to use for each run. You also get a good amount of BP for clearing seven floors as well, more than you get for beating seven trainers at the Battle Tower I'm pretty sure.

The arcade facility in Gen 4 is pretty good as well, having different events for each battle such as one team getting held items or having their team get poisoned or even getting free BP.

I wasn't as keen on either of the rental facilities as I prefer training and using my own Pokémon for the Battle Frontier.

Arcade facility and the castle stand out from gen 4. Also because those are the only frontier brains that I have beaten in gen 4. From Emerald it would have to be the battle pike because it is the only facility that I don't find to be a slog fest. Battle factory in both gens 3 and 4 is also fine because the rental pokemon are all around quite solid.

Battle Factory in Emerald as kid me never bothered to train his Pokemon further after completing the E4. This one I could still do with rentals, but I was not particularly fond of it.
I also recall checking out the Battle Pike. Never bothered with the rest. Think I just straight up skipped going to the place entirely in gen 4.

The Battle Factory was always my favorite since the Pokemon are ready-made instead of you having to spend hours training them up; having to run with a different team each time also introduces an extra element of strategy since you have to work with the cards you're dealt and adjust in real time depending on what Pokemon become available.
