Will the Battle Frontier Return?

Only the Battle Park Returns

Removed Features

Battle Tower Also Returns

Pokemon BDSP Battle Tower Battle

The Battle Frontier had 5 different facilities, including the Battle Tower, which first appeared in the original Diamond and Pearl games. Since the Battle Tower is part of both the Battle Frontier and the Battle Park, the Battle Tower is the only facility that still remains in the Sinnoh remakes.

What is the Battle Frontier?

Post-Game Venue to Battle NPCs

In Pokemon Platinum, the Battle Frontier allowed the trainer to battle other NPC trainers in several battle formats to win Battle Points so that they can exchange items ranging from Pokemon Held Items to Evolution Items. You can still do this at the Battle Tower in the Fight Area.
