>>49895917For me it felt like a second badge quest. When I opened up the Trainer Card and saw those empty slots, I thought the Frontier Facilities were like advanced Gyms or something.
But yea, the AI is bullshit, and actually building good teams in Gen 3 was a chore unless you hacked. The old games were never clear about how the inner mechanics worked, so it was easy for kids to get filtered and never touch this place again.
