Who the FUCK thought this was an appropriate challenge for children in 2005?

Is this shit actually possible to beat with just your random in-game mons which is what 99% of the kids would try to beat it with?
I've never been able to beat anything, besides the Factory obviously, without hacking in some perfect IV/EV Pokemon and even then it's a struggle.

The silver symbols are perfectly possible with in-game teams but for the gold symbols you need to actually know what you're doing

the only symbols I got as a kid were the dome and pike silver symbols.

I thought it was surprising and cool how cutthroat it was, but yeah, I didn't have even a fraction of the time or drive to essentially redo my entire team into something viable for this.

maybe if they let me rent and customize things

The struggle with emerald battle frontier was how difficult it was to build a competitive team. There were no efficient ways to grind levels, money or customize move sets back then.

Being impossible is kinda the appeal in a sense. Means there's always something left undone and something to work for which made it feel like the game had infinite singleplayer content.

There is a delicate balance between too high, and too low an IQ to comprehend the battle frontier

I remember I got all the silver ones except the palace with a strong mons I prepared for it but without knowing about natures or ivs. That was when I realized stat boosting moves and type variety mattered, and was my start of searching resources on the internet about that stuff. I started competitive in DP as a result. I was 10 so I guess that counts as a kid.

I played a lot of Platinum BF with my ingame team. The trick is you need a good moveset and you should treat BF as a journey where you little by little build towards a better team.

I had this one and the Prima games one. This one was nicer and more polished but Prima had way, way more information.

Platinum Battle Frontier is easier overall because the Emerald Battle Frontier has time consuming crap like the Battle Pyramid and nature based RNG facilities like the Battle Palace.

>add an area that requires to you to minmax and use competitive sets
>in a generation where like 98% of players didn’t even know competitive play was different from standard play
>when there was no good injection software and making good competitive mons in game would have been absolutely brutal
Battle frontier was added in literally the worst generation possible. Gen 2 would have been better honestly. Gen 6 was the best time to add it since the average player had at least decent options for making good sets but of course they fucking didn’t.

The rental facility is just fine because you don't need to breed/RNG perfect Pokemon.
