    The Emerald Frontier is still one of if not the best feature in ANY Pokemon game. The Factory alone can be played basically infinitely, it's like a little Pokemon Stadium 3 on your GBA, a game within a game.

      @@thesarcastic4691 Unpopular opinion but I never really liked revisiting Kanto in G/S/C and its remakes. It was a cool concept but all the gym leaders were way too easy and there wasn't really anything to do apart from bulldozing a bunch of trainers with your OP team and catching a few more Pokémon. You didn't really get to explore anything, it was the same map with slightly better graphics and the most memorable areas removed. Remember the haunted graveyard? The creepy abandoned lab? The Safari game? Well too bad, that's gone now.
      In my opinion the Battle Frontier is the best post-game in any of the Pokémon games. The difficulty curve is spot on and I really like the creativity that went into it. All the different battle styles were really fun to try out.

Psychic would only be better than thunderpunch because electric is not very effective against 1 more type. Because Alakazam knows the other punch moves though it has coverage over the types resisted by electric.

    An interesting anecdote related to the Battle Frontier: I used to steal Battle Factory Pokémon using cheat codes when I was younger, and I wanted to see their stats because I was curious and this stuff wasn't fully documented at the time, unlike now. After transferring them through multiple generations and exporting them to the Make-a-Wish GTS website through my DS _(back when Nintendo WFC was still operational, mind you),_ I learned that the Pokémon all had fixed IVs, but they were surprisingly low and I had no idea why. What I didn't know at the time was that the IVs change depending on your win streak, but due to a bug, it doesn't count streaks from the Factory itself, but rather from the Battle Tower. My streak was, of course, clear, meaning every Pokémon I stole had fixed IVs of _3 in every stat._ It was a neat learning experience, to say the least!

    Loved the Battle Frontier in Emerald!!! My favorite is probably the Battle Pyramid because of the Mystery Dungeon-like layout. I love how innovative they were with all the battling formats. While it's nice and convenient that typically the strongest Pokemon can win every facility and that you can do it all with pretty much one team with tweaks like you did, I do kind of wish there was a facility or two that favored some of the more bizarre, weaker Pokemon out there somehow! Was really glad to see Anabel return in S/M/US/UM, and I can only hope we maybe see the other frontier brains again someday. They're all so mysterious, and I wish we knew more about them!
    And props to you for getting all the gold symbols! When I was a kid, I think I only got the silver symbols in the Battle Pike and Battle Pyramid from sheer luck.

      But lacking stab psychic wasn't a good idea. By having ice and fire punches, plus psychic, you cover the entire type chart, and you have more types super effective than having all 3 punches. All with a higher base power and stab on psychic rather than thunder punch. The only reason not to use psychic would be against dark types, which are super effective against psyc, but that only comes down to houndoom and sharpeedo. All the rest are neutral effected by the other punches. It's much better to have stronger damage against 7 types than electric would offer.

    Fun facts about gen III's Battle Frontier in my research:
    The IVs of the opponent's in the Battle Factory are taken from what streak you are on in the Battle Tower. You can reset this at any time if you just back out from all streaks in the Battle Tower.
    Pokemon that you encounter can be shiny, I was a 9 year old boy when I saw shiny Ekans in the Battle Palace.
    All of the Battle Dome IVs are at 0 due to a bug.
    You will always be healed if you enter a door with a "wave of nostalgia" description and your Pokemon are all under a status effect. May also work for Pokemon below 50% HP.
    Pickup works in the Battle Pyramid and adds to your bag.
    Speaking of the Battle Pyramid, there is a chance you can get Sacred Ash in the Pyramid. You cannot use it in battles, so do not save those up for Brandon.
    All IVs increase by 3 in the Battle Frontier every round roughly, with some trainers having that increase as the last battle of your 7 streak.
    Silver Frontier bosses/brains always have 15 IVs in each stat, Gold will always have 31.
    Unlike gen IV's Battle Frontier, bosses/brains will always start with one specific Pokemon.
    If you use BP to get EV increasing items, my path for the Frontier is this:
    Battle Factory to learn all of the sets you can go against -> Battle Dome due to ease -> Battle Pyramid once you have enough for a Choice Band -> Battle Pike -> Arena -> Palace -> Tower
    Doing this you will reliably be ready for anything that the Frontier throws your way.

    Just wanted to mention that Shedinja can appear in the battle dome. This can be dangerous and it is good to have at least one attack that can deal with it. I had shadow ball on my metagross for it and other ghosts.
    I was never able to get all gold symbols, but I got all of the silver ones. The battle factory was the tricky one for the gold, in my opinion. That is the one that made me give up. I did enjoy the challenge though.
    For the fronteir I had Salamence, Metagross, Latios, Tyranitar and Latias.
    I don't remember the movesets, but Salamence had dragon dance and EQ and Arial Ace, Metagross was probably banded as well or had leftovers, and Latios had Calm Mind + psychic and coverage moves.
    I think its also good to use a mix of physical and special attackers and ones that cover weaknesses. I didn't use Tyranitar mucho because of sand stream. And sometimes I would use both Lati@s plus either metagross or salamence but found the other team to be more well rounded.
    Metagross and Salamence are both really strong.

    @AdeptCharon 4 роки тому +1

    Not just a great video, but also a really useful one for anyone revisiting this game and deciding to challenge the Battle Frontier!
    I want to throw in my tangent about the idea of a Battle Frontier in future games to any and all people who are bitter about ORAS or generally hoping we would some day get another Frontier:
    1. the only times GF had an abundance of extra development time to spend on implementing an entire Battle Frontier as a hefty post-game activity, was in games that were basically just polished versions of already final products, ie Emerald being an enhanced RS, and Platinum being an enhanced DP. Every other game, whether main games of a new generation, or remakes that require updating the entire game, which even if it's a lot of copy/paste, is still a ton of work, both are projects that inherently don't have the amount of extra resources that a Frontier would require.
    2. the main games have been getting more and more numerous in number of features as well as more sophisticated in graphics and mechanics, which essentially means that by todays standards, even when they do have a project that is basically an enhanced version (aka USUM), there is just so many other things they can spend the extra development time on, or even just on polishing any number of minor things overall, that a Battle Frontier never shows up early enough on their "checklists" of things to add to still have enough resources left for it.
    My implication with this is basically, that even if they were to add a Battle Frontier in a future game, it'd likely be less "wholesome" and end up being too lackluster or rushed, making the minority of players that actively want to see one just even more disappointed.
    The solution I see to all of this, is if instead of asking for a Battle Frontier as a post-game feature, people started asking for a standalone Battle Frontier game. An individual game that is compatible with the main series, just like Stadium, Colosseum/XD, PBR. Being a separate game would mean that it is the focus of the project, and could even add features that sometimes feel lackluster in the main series, like trainer customization,...and more importantly, with the change to a limited-Dex philosophy for the main games from now on, since this game would be entirely about battles in an arbitrary unique location unrelated to any specific region or theme, it could allow for every single PKMN to be playable in it.
    tl;dr:
    we don't need a postgame with a BF, we need a BF-like Stadium/PBR game that is tailored for the competitive portion of the players.
