Pokémon Platinum - The Battle Arcade! Remastered

[@AndrewBlechinger]

Battle Arcade proving that all the frontier matches are elaborate simulators with the whole setting weather and even tinkering with levels.

[@Swordsmaster]

This place has always been fun, just because of the whole roulet part. ^.^

[@alexchrollo]

Super Good!

[@battlearcade2]

I want to see these facilities again

[@Galdr]

Agreed. To be fair, I just want the Arcade back since I despised the Castle with an undying passion, but all of them being back-I wouldn’t mind at all.

@@Galdr unfortunately, they most likely will never be seen again for the same reason as the Hoenn battle frontier. According to the Hoenn battle frontier bulbapedia page, and I quote: "According to an interview with Junichi Masuda, the Battle Frontier did not make a return in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire for the following reason: "Put simply, the Battle Frontier wasn't included because only a tiny number of players would have appreciated and used this game feature. Players get fed up more easily than they did in the past and aren't attracted by these 'demanding' challenges."" So basically whiny little brats who can't handle a challenge and want wins to come easy for them with very little effort are the reason why the battle frontiers are dead

Meiko Megurine Yep, I had known about that interview years back. It’s a darn shame since that was what many players anticipated in the ORAS games. Sure they weren’t Emerald remakes. OG RS had just the tower but if they included the OG frontier from Emerald, it would have been possible. HGSS had elements from Crystal and included the Platinum frontier to make to them compatible that way, etc. Chateau was a copy and paste from XY likely for similar reasons but they could have expanded. Chateau could have been part of the whole frontier for that XY compatibility, like how DP and Platinum/HGSS can connect with the Tower only. There were several ways to do this. I still wish they went ahead to include the battle frontier; even if a small percentage of players appreciated it, it would’ve been better than none. Rant aside, it’s too bad.

There's a fair chance it could make a comeback in the upcoming Sinnoh remakes! I'm just hoping they don't pull an ORAS and just copypaste the Wyndon Battle Tower into Sinnoh. That would be gut-wrenchingly sad.

@@aconsentil2054 sadly, it's worse than that. The Battle Tower is copypasted from the original Diamond and Pearl. I FRIGGIN' HATE THE LACK OF A PROPER BATTLE FRONTIER, AND THE FACT THAT LITTLE WHINERS WHO CAN'T HANDLE THE ADDED CHALLENGE ARE TO BLAME FOR THE FACT THAT WE'LL NEVER SEE ANYTHING LIKE IT AGAIN MAKES ME HATE THOSE WHINERS FOR IT!!!
