I wanna play Gen IV so I can experience the Battle Frontier, since I heard so many good things about it. Which game should I go with: Platinum or HeartGold/SoulSilver?

Keep in mind that I don't own a DS anymore, so I'll be playing on a 3DS (slightly worse graphics?) and I don't have a Pokéwalker. Also, will I be missing anything with the Nintendo Wi-Fi being shutdown?

Both have the same Frontier. HGSS let's you view which nature is better and has better tm distribution, you need bp for moves instead of shitty items. But Platinum let's you better train till 50.
As someone who played frontier and was like "oh wow can't wait" and I got some silvers, no golds and couldn't reach 100 battle tower stuff it is not as good as you think. Because it is heavy rng and if you have poor luck you can start a new. E.g. in bw I only did super singles, because I copied Jumpmans team ( needed to inject dw pokemon, too lazy for breeding) with some exceptions and made my way too the top. Team was basically
>cripple the opponent
>set up
>win

My hgss team was, starmie, garchomp and ttar I guess (or something else) and the first 1-3 runs are easy and then it gets constantly worse. And if you loose do everything again.

3ds has washed out colors, platinums ui looks worse, pokewalker only has some non native mons and you can still trade online via pkmnclassic

You can also do online coop battles in the battle frontier if you add someone as a friend using pkmnclassic wifi.

Thanks for all the info! How does the Battle Frontier compares to other facilities like the ones in Gen VI?

Each facility has a gimmick
>Battle Factory
Random pokemon, you get to swap with another one after every match.
>Battle Arcade
Before every match, there is a game board where it cycles through different RNG effects like giving your team or the opponent a status effect, a berry, levelling up the opponent or delevelling them etc.
>Battle Hall
You can only use one mon and you get to pick what type you want to fight each battle, it gets considerably harder the more you battle.
>Battle Tower
Your standard battle tower.
>Battle Castle
Basically resource management, you gain Castle Points after every battle you can use to buy held items for your pokemon or getting to heal or examine what pokemon your opponent has among other things.

keep in mind for factory you should always trade to get better mons. I am going to play these again, if you have an hacked 3ds you can get pksm and change all of them if you don't want to breed.

Hope you're still around to see my post. HGSS bas bettet breeding mechanics and you'll want to make sure that your mons have high IVs. They do not need to be perfect, but anything you can do with breeding is 10x easier in HGSS where natures can be passed down from either parent and even specified IVs can be passed down.
