>>30369345Yeah, it is a lost more bare bones than other console games.
It feels more like an add-on than anything else.
In fact, once you clear the game and unlock the full set of stadium gimmicks and start earning points to spend of items you can transfer to your game, you notice it's a lot like a battle frontier.
Which of course makes it feel more redundant because Platinum, Heart Gold and Soul Silver have their own Battle Frontier.
