The Battle Frontier was the first time in Pokemon where I, as a little kid, realized there was more to being strong than higher levels and bigger moves. It was definitely unfair, but it was the first reason I looked up what Pokemon natures actually do!

@@lukemorgan6166 again such a zoomer thing. Lots of games don’t fully explain their mechanics. Fire emblem 3H never explains how weapon weight works or the formulas for it, final fantasy never explained how their growths work, etc. even then without the internet there were a lot of guide books that explained how it work, and it was also in the game manual you got for free with the game. Back in the day you had to read these physical manuals because internet was dialup. Most people did above the age of 8. I did and I was 7, but I just didn’t care that much lol. But I knew what they did. Gen 4 onwards it’s literally shown in pokemon summary as one stat is blue and one is red depending on nature. It’s a different era so I doubt you understand and I can see your misguided view. Most people at the time knew what natures and ivs did. We knew about EVs because they already existed. And other guidebooks published by Nintendo explained it (which I agree is bs and should be in game or in the game manual so I agree with you on the point for evs ivs)

@pureatheistic

Considering the competitive crowd is where the majority of long-term players come from, I'd say it's almost always held up by the data miners/wiki editors. The story of each game is rather shallow and formulaic to an extreme. Sure I enjoy exploring new places and new people, pokemon, themes. But not so much I'd give it more than the minimum of my time to clear it. The reason I STAY playing longterm and spend tons of time in game is because of the competitive scene. I wouldn't even care to complete the pokedex for completions sake cuz it feels hallow after so many times. Now I do it simply to make it easier to breed and train teams quickly.

Whats more, the streak based system with no second changes will guarantee that you're getting screwed over by RNG, whether it's by the opponent being really lucky or you being very unlucky. A full RNG set with only OHKO moves and quick claw/focus band wouldn't work in your favor, but is almost guaranteed to ruin your day at some point by a lucky opponent. Also most enemy move sets include Double Team for some stupid reason, someone at Gamefreak thought it's apparently a staple move for strong Pokémon.

@HappyGick
@HappyGick 11 ай бұрын
I think this could've worked if they didn't let Pokémon skip turns and natures favored moves that use the stats they alter. So a Modest nature would favor Special attacking moves, would disdain Physical attacking moves, and would be neutral towards the rest. Bold or Calm natures would favor defensive moves and disdain Physical attacking moves. And so on. Also, since Pokémon wouldn't be allowed to skip turns, the game would just pick a random move should the move category not exist in the moveset. This would make the Palace manageable imo.
@solidzack
@solidzack 11 ай бұрын
Additionally Pokémon shouldn't use moves that are guaranteed to not work because of immunity, abilities, already inflicted status conditions or because its stats are already min/maxed out. And since you can already influence the battles by switching it wouldn't have hurt if you could "suggest" a battle style instead of selecting an attack, which would raise the odds for the Pokémon choosing an attack of that category

Unintuitive move preferences for natures, an idiotic 50% chance to do nothing if the RNG picks a category you don’t have, *and* the Battle Frontier Pokémon aren’t even made any easier. The lack of a Battle Frontier in ORAS actually doing this right really isn’t doing this place any favors.

I even had a friend with an Gameshark get me a Wonder Guard Sableye... and Crobat easily beat it with Toxic. But eventually, 12th Grade year, i beat it with the help of my Glalie. It beat the Crobat, and i went on to win the battle, and had then gotten all 7 Symbols! ...Never bring back the Battle Palace Gimmick, ever, Gamefreak!!

I would like to add that the Battle Frontier is just the culmination of every bad decision GF made with the underlying systems colliding at high speed. "Obscure shit that only works in the background that you have no way to check" is basically a running gag in Gen III. IVs, EVs, Natures, its effects, abilities, EVERYTHING was just an obscure mechanic. We got used to it, but it's overwhelming how many things were absolutely determinant in winning at any level of competition yet were hid from your eyes. The last pkmn game I played was UltraSun and at least it let you track your EVs, but still requires beating the League to check IVs... it's honestly insane, and always has been. And when all that obscure stuff determines how your pokemon plays itself, it truly shine as The Worst Decision Ever. Meanwhile, Gen I-II only had uncapped EVs that didn't need tracking and low IVs that didn't really matter. If you wanted your favorite mon to be competitively viable you only needed patience, skill and a good moveset, not hatch a few thousand eggs.

Arena and dome just have minor gimmicks (and especially arena just basically rewards pressing attacks like a braindead ghoul), and the other three facilities imo are just RNG luckfests. So out of 7, like 3-4 max are even good to decent. Gen 4 did it better with the castle and hall introducing more strategy into it, but I really don't miss the battle frontier at all, and imo the frontier isn't even the best post-game since it's just brainless grinding and hoping for luck.

One thing I actually liked about Sword and Shield was how those games actually lowered the barrier to entry for the competitive scene. EV training was easier than ever, IV's could be maxed out with hyper training and getting to level 100 to do so wasn't hard either. They also had nature changing mints and even had a way to change a Pokemon's ability to it's hidden ability in the Crown Tundra. Sadly, outside of actual competitive battles, the only place you could use these hyper powerful mons was at the Battle Tower which is a battle facility that you could beat with a rental team. I really would like the Battle Frontier or some similar facility to return someday.

It’s a shame that game freak doesn’t merge many of the good older mechanics and modes with the ones found in newer releases. We finally get an easy way to change natures and ivs, plus new Pokémon, abilities and items, but it really doesn’t matter when there are no in-game challenges that make this stuff worth doing or learning. Sure you can battle online, but that’s a centralized meta so creativity is somewhat limited by viability. Even talking to NPCs, which provided so many interesting details and clues, has been largely removed. Two steps forward, one step back for Pokémon

Yeah. The Battle Frontier didn't exist in Ruby/Sapphire, as it is a FRLG and Emerald addition, but ORAS focused on being a Ruby/Sapphire remake above all else, so we never ended up getting it Gen 6. It seems doubtful we are getting anything resembling the Battle Frontier anytime soon unfortunately, as the last Battle Frontier was created in 2008, around 15 years ago.

That is to say, ignore its gimmick as much as possible lol

So, is THIS why Game Freak massively overcorrected later in the series to make the games ridiculously easy, kill the post game challenges, and discourage competitive play? Because they looked at Battle Frontier and how alienating it was to young players, and were just EMBARRASSED to a degree that they never wanted it to happen again? Like sure, Battle Frontier was really obnoxious. But I don't think they had to utterly BURY the technical aspect of pokemon's potentially strategic core gameplay. All because an 8 year old might cry after discovering that their level 100 charizard isn't the best pokemon ever.

When I first got the battle palace back when the game came out my team kept getting annihilated and of course I had no idea how it worked. That was until I entered a Mightyena, a pokemon I did not use regularly but had brought onto my team to help out against powerful psychics that kept getting the better of me. It absolutely swept the battle palace, don't remember its nature, but somehow it could do what none of my regular team could.

All this talk about obfuscating game mechanics within the code beneath the guide beneath the in-game descriptions is the EXACT reason that I've never gone beyond the casual level in Smash despite knowing a lot for a casual. There are just too many mechanics that are completely invisible to the average player, and even to professionals. Some examples: DI makes absolutely no sense. For the longest time, I thought people were talking about a form of drift, like how Mario in Mario 64 can "directionally influence" his long jump trajectory mid-jump. But no, it only applies at the very start of the move, and it determines the entire trajectory. And even then, there are other factors like how DI in makes you die off the top by giving you a steeper trajectory while DI out does the opposite. And then you have to know the interaction between DI up and down with in and away, and then SDI is a completely different thing that isn't even related to DI and has its own set of convoluted mechanics. Staling has a lot of invisible mechanics that aren't explained. At its core, the concept of moves getting weaker when you spam them is simple, and I knew about it since seeing the term in the score breakdowns in some of the Melee game modes. But staling also affects the amount of shield stun you inflict (which is another complicated mechanic btw). And then I still don't fully know how staling is triggered in the first place. Do moves stale if you hit shield? What about multihits? What about moves with different parts, like Falco's up throw where he shoots the laser afterwards? What about Link's forward smash, does that count as two different moves for staling? I know Fox can spam lasers to unstale his other moves, but can G&W do that with his bacon? For God's sake, I didn't even know you had to mash Bowser's up B to make it go further. Every time I tried to play him, his up B went nowhere, but I always saw other people going a decent distance. Turns out you have to mash B to make Bowser go higher, which is completely counterintuitive, since no other recovery move has ever worked like that. Not only that, but apparently there's a specific rhythm you have to mash, where you wait like half a second before mashing to make it go higher.

The saving grace for the battle palace is that the enemy has to play by the same rules as you, so they don't get to pick all of their best moves and sometomes fail to do anything. Spencer is just tough though. The strategy that worked for me was using a Hasty Tyranitar. At high hp it generally attacks or uses Dragon Dance. At low HP it almost always just attacks. I think i threw Attract on it as well just so it has something to do when it decides to use a support move.

The biggest reason people play video games, is because I have one thing I don't have in the real world: autonomy. As in, I'm in control of who I am and what I do. But that autonomy is an illusion: You do what that the game allows you to do, and it can be taken from you whenever the game feels like it. The American Dream where we can pursue life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness via hard work and capitalism exists because there was a system in place to protect us. When it's gone, were back to filling out applications and told to wait for callbacks. In the Battle Temple you don't have a choice; you do what the game tells you to do, case closed. In face in most "endgame" or "post-game" scenarios, your "adventure" is over... now it's time to actually put on a uniform and go to work. Very VERY few people in this world get to be truly happy; and the rest of us are just playable NPCs.

I love the idea of investigating if the rival is lying to you, and explaining some of the very specific mechanics that were intentionally left vague in the games is usually left to forum digging. Theres a lot of weird little quirks in every pokemon game, where the developers just kinda threw together a bunch of ideas for a core, but optional mechanic, and then leave the player entirely in the dark about what they can do to affect it.
