>>40164030I like the Battle Factory, Dome and Tower the most. The Pike and Arena are okay, but the Palace and Pyramid suck ass.
>Battle FactoryProbably my favourite, because you don't have to raise Pokémon and it basically forces you to use mons you wouldn't usually like. I like how if you choose Level 50, you and the CPUs start with the weaker Pokémon, almost like playing a Little Cup. In all the other facilities, you have no incentive to start with Pokémon like Wartortle, Elekid, Dustox and Stantler. Yes there is some stupid RNG, like the opponents happening to get better Pokémon than you but I don't mind that kind of RNG, because you can use a lot of strategy, like knowing when and which Pokémon to swap after every match.
>Battle DomeTied favourite with the Factory. I like how you can see the opponent's Pokémon before you battle AND be able to choose 2 of your 3 mons. Another advantage is that you don't have to play 7 matches in a row, but a tournament instead, where you can see all of the CPUs that you could have battled. The 7 match streak can drag out a bit in some of the other facilities.
>Battle TowerThe classic battle facility, very simple but fun. What I like in Emerald is the fact that you can do Multi Battles, you get to choose a CPU ally in a room of other trainers, which is really unique. I don't have much else to say.
