>>22493174>They decided to copy/paste the frontier from Platinum because a frontier is better than a single battle facility. You have nothing that suggest that is why they did it.
>They decided to not recreate Hoenn's frontier in ORAS due to literally not caring anymore.Who say's they really cared when HGSS came around? They copied and pasted the facility there too. You can claim it is better all you like, but there wasn't really anymore effort put into it. That much we can agree on. And they would have had to put a lot of work into recreating the Battle Frontier, and for what? Wresting that you can't control? Renting pokemon? More random pokemon?
They added in far more pokemon than ever, new areas to catch them with all the mirage spots. And gave you more incentive to catch pokemon in general with dexnav. I'd say we have it better for that now.
The wrestling thing you didn't get to control. I don't think watching some pokemon wrestle around really added much to the game.
As for renting pokemon it's neat, but with how easy it is to breed and train good pokemon now I think it's kind of pointless.
Battle Maison has more total battles required to get everything from it. And far more battle modes than the Battle Frontier. We didn't just get Ruby and Sapphire without the Frontier.
