Emerald has introduced a better system.
Crystal's Battle Tower was the worst half made facilities, no auto levelling,
non sense hard mode, no prizes.
If anything Gen 3 as improved and convalidated it.
The contests are a hit or miss, honestly Hoenn system was definitely superior to Sinnoh which was very forceful on the DS touch screen feature part, ORAS Hoenn also made it easier but prettier kinda. Unova musicals were the worst contest adaptation with the Pokewood.
No hype, tedious, forced tutorial.
