I've been thinking. With Game Freak experimenting with date based features, and the fact that they dislike leakers and reviewers spoiling their games each year...

What if the Battle Frontier is finished on the 21st of November, or some other significant date?

It's not unusual for series dedicated studios to get pissed off at users spoiling features early. It used to occur with franchises such as Halo, where if you were caught playing online on Reach/3 a fortnight before release date, they'd just temporarily disable it.

If not... ladies and gentlemen, let us have a moment of remebrance for the battle frontier.
