I really liked the battle frontier. Yeah I only ever got 3 silver medals, but having a place that test your abilities as a trainer endlessly was great. I loved the Battle Pyramid and Battle Pike. I was sad they weren't in Platinum. That said, you can't imagine my elation when I got Red Rescue Team for my birthday and found out it was basically the Battle Pyramid, but more and with it's own story to boot!
There's so much depth to the Battle Frontier that it becomes one of the best/longest post-games if you actually start going for the symbols. For me this is why I keep playing Emerald over newer games, Game Freak just doesn't make challenges this difficult anymore
@@myboyfriend95 You could argue that most Pokemon games boil down to an AI fight slog, with some RPG elements in between. But the regular game is heavily in the player's favor, because you can just out-level your opponent plus you also have the advantage of being able to swap after every KO. The BF takes those advantages away, which forces the player to overcome challenges solely with strategic teambuilding and playstyle. That's the appeal for me personally.
@@kitkat7074 IMO coming up with your own team builds is half the fun. But even with the most optimal team you're not guaranteed to win every match, you still need to be able to play intelligently.
@@fightaman7Cringe and wrong. The JRPG is the primary purpose of the Pokemon games. Obviously the battles are part of the experience too, but the whole point was to be just like every other turn based JRPG, of which there are many. Yet for some reason only Pokemon seems to accrue all these spergs such as yourself who just want to play the battles over and over while pretending you’re a chess grandmaster. Sorry, but the battles aren’t that good, nor are they that intellectually rewarding. If you think they are, you’re just stupid.
@@znspyder still waiting for a non-zero chance of a delta emerald remake LOL. for the switch or even the 3DS haha also salty that the gen6 starters didn't get megas (in the generation that megas were introduced). they did chesnaught and delphox dirty (greninja not included because we got ash greninja).
Something you missed is the gym leader rematches. After completing the game, they'll randomly call you for a rematch. They'll all battle you in double battles, and their national dex teams get progressively stronger with each round (capping out on the 5th rematch at e4 levels). Normen is a particularly interesting fight since he uses skill swap blissey to remove slaking's truant. There's also the johto starters - which are obtainable by completing the hoenn dex (1 per save file, unfortunately), and the tv will somewhat randomly spawn clearance sales, a berry master for berry mixing, and a skitty migration. Then there's some more non-post game stuff like finishing all of the contest paintings and discovering mirage island.
@@TeamFlashTerry there's also an extra chunk of the safari zone that opens up, a trainer red-style boss fight vs steven in meteor falls, and the underground pass in which you can get the other fossil + dittos.
The new sector of the safari zone is part of the post game too, I noticed it wasn’t includer. Aside from that, Hoenn is pretty much fully covered. There are some things in the sea routes too that go by kind of unnoticed as well
I saw that in the guide I was using, but I decided to not touch on it since the safari zone doesn’t have an “end goal” if that makes sense. It’s the same reason I don’t rematch the Elite Four because you can do that over and over again, it doesn’t have an end point 👍
Honestly as a kid playing Emerald I never even knew the battle frontier existed. My stupid self just never went to the boat. So the way I spent my time was getting Latios, wandering around, and overleveling my self for the steven battle 💀
The Emerald Battlefrontier is easily the best post game feature in a pokemon game ever, even beats playing through Kanto in my opinion. Countless of hours of fun in there if you actually like the battling-aspect and strategic part of pokemon.
I mean no disrespect, but I can't help but to feel that much of Emerald's postgame is drastically changed by the use of a randomizer... to the point where it could be argued that it's a completely different experience!. Beating Steven, for example, isn't difficult because his pokemon are a high level, it's difficult because of the specific pokemon and movesets he employs. Beating a level 70 metagross is pretty tough when the highest level pokemon in the elite four cap out at around level 57. Catching the regi's is a major part of the post game to skip also. Still a fun overview of the things you can do in the postgame! Just... a bit of a misleading title lol
I randomized the game for a different video, and unfortunately, there was no way to change it back. Also the regis aren’t apart of the post game, as they can be caught before the Elite Four 👍
Altering Cave has rare pokemon but only by activating an event. When activated, you can choose between: Mareep, Aipom, Pineco, Shuckle, Teddiursa, Houndour, Stantler or Smeargle. One at a time, they take the Zubats' place in the cave.
The post game in Pokemon rgby is literally just catching Mewtwo so I'd say that's the shortest one Also i hate how little amount of BP you get in emerald for winning the challenges is SO SMALL And the plushies in the game are so pricey??? For no reason?? I'm glad they fixed how battle points are distributed in later installments tho
Funny thing I lost the battle factory so many times I pretty much had unlimited battle points. Most of the time I spent in the battle frontier was trying to get the bf gold symbol.
The BP in Emerald actually isn't that bad you just need to get 3 silver symbols first then you can use the betting man to get +15 BP on every win. You can easily get hundreds of BP this way within a few hours
"That's all there is" "It's relatively short"....you serious? So the whole battle frontier with all its buildings, all its trainers and all the different kind of battles is not enough?
altering cave was supposed to be used for johto pokemon through the e-reader or through in person events i believe, didnt work well back in the day since most of us were like 10 and my mom wasnt about to drive to the store
Yes, I mentioned that many of the things I did towards the end of the video were just side quests/side areas to explore, since many of them go unnoticed and the post game was somewhat short, so I figured I would include them as well 👍
Great video but I think you missed a few important things: 1) There are few new area's unlocked at Safari Zone where you can find new pokemon 2) Gym leader rematches 3) Professor Birch will give you a Johto starter (although this requires completing the Hoenn dex and it's really understandable to not do this in the video :D) In addition I personally don't think this post-game is short since many people can spend like closer to 100 hours in Battle Frontier and not even get all the gold symbols (I've only had 5 silver symbols actually :D). I guess it's whether you put more emphasis on different areas and story based content or battling challenge content. Also I was pretty surprised when I realised as an adult that the Regis are not post-game content since I tend to always do that in post-game :D. Hoenn region already has a lot of cool extra stuff to explore like you showed at the end of your video and that's why I never even considered that the Hoenn games like Ruby and Sapphire have a short post-game.
You know the alternate cave was supposed to be with a lot of rare pokémon but game freaks decided to hide them with special events that were never released. You can access those special events now since the special events have been found by the pokémon community
Thanks for the support! Ya that’s true, the Battle Frontier does add A LOT to this post game. But for someone like me who has never really gotten interested in the Battle Frontier, there’s not much else besides it 👍
@@TerraQuake1thing is i feel like the battle Frontier was a cool idea that would make fix a lot of problems peoples problems with modern Pokémon postgame. But they it put in two generations were Ev and IV training was at their hardest and stupidest. When I see comments about how the battle frontier added 100 hours of game time I wonder, how much of that was spent IV training and getting good Evs, cause the battle frontier absolutely requires that, at least in gen 4 they made the steaks so it was actually more feasible to get to the desired brain matchups; but in emerald, battle tower requires 70 straight wins; 10 of them being against trainers that have perfect EV and who also have maxed IVs. Simply put I really hate how people just say battle frontier amazing, how dare Gamefreak take it out, when it was arguably one of the most cheapest luck based modes in Pokémon that wasn’t that well designed. Sure the modes are amazing, if you have a competitive team, but otherwise the only that’s viable is battle factory which is arguably the best one.
Whoa! I didn't know the cave entrance locations for Groudon and Kyogre were randomized for each playthrough. I always thought Terra Cave was at the bottom of Mt. Chimney, since that's where it appeared in my game and thematically is too perfect to be coincidental...
It is short, but still iconic because of the battle frontier, which made competitive battling a thing. Without competitive battling pokemon would probably be long lost and forgotten by now.
The Battle Frontier is ok but i never really cared for competitive play in Gen 3 so it was just a nice pretty island for me lol just cause other people spend hundreds of hours in that place doesn´t mean it´s a lot of content, i can say the same from the Battle Tree in Alola, there i did spend a lot of time but that doesn´t mean i consider it great post game, they´re just repetitive Pokemon battles
this is why i prefer sinnoh, this game dosent even have elite 4 or gym rematches. bdsp has 3 rounds to the elite 4, gym rematches,tons of legenderies to catch, completing the pokedex and more.
I'm glad with the post-game content we non-Battle Frontier fans got, currently finishing the second round of Gym Leader rematches, two more to go. It takes forever for them to trigger though 😅
My version of post-game in Emerald was to fully complete the Pokedex and get Silver & Gold Battle Frontier pass. Never did the latter because I'm noob, and only done the Pokedex dream a few years ago. It was a very long hurdle for me because none of my friends actually completed the game pass Tate&Liza. Some of them gave up in Winona's gym. So the trade after those gym were not possible and I had just 1 gameboy advance.

They do get tougher. Roxanne becomes a sandstorm abuser who rock slides, earthquakes, surfs, & explodes you constantly (using protect during eq & explosion turns). Wattson becomes a rain abuser. Norman becomes a skill swap, confusion, & sleep abuser, allowing for slaking sweeps. Flannery becomes a sun, taunt, attract, & overheat + white herb abuser (also a helping hand abuser). Winnona becomes an earthquake abuser & dragon dancer. Juan becomes a rain dance, sleep, attract, & perish song abuser, along with using chesto resto strategies. Etc.
I... kinda like it. There are 2 ways to play Pokemon. Playthrough and Competitive. It's kinda nice that the post game Battle Frontier is about competitive. Sad that it's gone, but it's kinda fun to practice competitive battle in there
You can't say Emerald's postgame is short and then skip the bulk of it because it'd take too long. Getting the gold symbols is effectively a second campaign and skipping it cheapens this whole video because you didn't cover anywhere close to the whole postgame. You also missed the Safari Zone expansion here which allows players to obtain a lot of pretty rare Pokemon for that gen.
the postgame is all about battle frontier which will take you way more time than finish the whole game, and you don't do it! it's normal you feel underwhelmed you didn't get the whole experience
So i just accidentally found steven last night for the first time, never having played the gen 3 games before and didn't took it up. I had 5 team members and fly HM servant not for battle in my squad, the 5 members ranged from 51-55 Ludicolo Hariyama Gardevoir Swampert Walrein I ended using about 12-16 items for recovery in the battle, but my leech seed rain dance/dish stall tactic made the battle a success My team was EV trained, not super hardcore precision. Because my repro cart has a dead RTC battery, so i cant farm any berries for removing EVs Ludicolo, Rain Dish, mystic water, surf, rain dance, leech seed, protect. Hariyama (usually thrown out after leech seed) thick fat, leftovers, belly drum, vital throw, rock tomb, protect. Walrein, thick fat, sea inscense, waterfall, aurora beam, body slam, yawn. Gardevoir, trace, lax inscense, thunderbolt, dream eater, calm mind, Hypnosis. Swampert, torrent, soft sand, muddy water, mud shot, earthquake, take down. Skarmory, flies me to places, and allows a free Revive turn 😇
I actually have ideas to make a Rom Hack of Emerald that will make it even better, like it is the same game but improved, and I plan to add a completely new area in the postgame
"ACTUALLY playing" "now because I want this video to come out this year I'm not going to take on any of these challenges." BRUH.... The Battle Frontier is the biggest part of Emerald's postgame, it'll really test your skills in a fun way. It's different from the normal battle facilities you see in most games. Those are boring, and I always skip them. The facilities in Emerald's Battle Frontier though, they're not boring, there's some really fun stuff in there. Main point is, you cannot claim to be actually playing the postgame, if you skip the main feature, especially if you then do it so dirty as to calling it short and such. You also missed some other stuff, like the safari zone expansion.
What about swsh post game? no the dlc doesnt count, fighting some random characters/dynamax mons is way worse than catching latis, weather legendaries, an almost impossible battle frontier, safari zone
@@TerraQuake1I already had the ss ticket, I'm not sure if the latias latios even got activated, I'll try testing that but it's strange I haven't glitched at all this run but I have noticed minor bugs at points
This is the most L take ever. You skipped the majority of the endgame because it would take too long and your conclusion is the post game is short??😂😂😂
"This endgame is kinda short"
*skips the main part of the endgame because it would take too long*
i mean im more into exploring the world and story content, i always thought the frontier was just some niche thing people overhype.
I don't like the battle frontier tbh, I like to explore new areas and get sidequests, or battles with my own team.

That’s really cool! My guide didn’t tell me that unfortunately
However, I think the event was never released and instead we got the new areas at Safari Zone + Artisan Cave which have all those Johtomons.
Bit late, but if you return to the summit of Mt Pyre in the post game you can see Archie and Maxie returning the Red and Blue Orbs.
While in Ruby & Sapphire, you return your own orb.

@@sephirotten2413 Well, I pretty Much put this on hiatus
I am More focused on other things now
Altering Cave was meant to be a spot where event Pokemon would spawn and you could battle and catch them.
It never saw the light of day though
cheating and randomizers? clown existence.
cant believe you wasted a master ball on kyogre, you supposed to use it on latios / latias wtf?
There’s jigglypuff there too
Still longer than XY’s postgame.
Im stull mad that in firered & leafgreen u cant go to
Jhoto post game both regions are literally close together
Why did you Take a clip of catching registeel when talking about catching groudon at 4:08? :D
I think that's sarcasm about it being a randomiser
Why did that sunny day TM say sweet scent
Gym leader and elite 4 rematches?
i did all this when i was a kid but I defeated all legendaires because eu sucked at pokemon as would forget to save before big fights
wow i cant believe you wasted a masterball on kyogre ! its best to use the duplication glitch and use it on Latios/ Latias
he had multiple master balls.. he cheated. so no waste.
Maybe I didn't watch the video thats why I couldnt notice but couldn't you revisit the Sky Pillar to catch Rayquaza?
Yes you can, but I believe you can do that before the post game. I also just sort of forgot 😅
That was in Ruby/Sapphire post game. In Emerald Rayquaza is in the main game
Skips the battle frontier, it's not overwhelming really, not that much to do
Forgot the three regis
Regis can be caught before the Elite Four 👍
after i defeated the champion my game crashed on the credits am i supposed to have brendan follow me
Finally, now i can have some lunch 😭😭😭😭
SAME I CANT EAT WITHOUT WATCHING TH-cam
I feel that 😂
"ACTUALLY playing"
"now because I want this video to come out this year I'm not going to take on any of these challenges."
BRUH....
The Battle Frontier is the biggest part of Emerald's postgame, it'll really test your skills in a fun way.
It's different from the normal battle facilities you see in most games. Those are boring, and I always skip them. The facilities in Emerald's Battle Frontier though, they're not boring, there's some really fun stuff in there.
Main point is, you cannot claim to be actually playing the postgame, if you skip the main feature, especially if you then do it so dirty as to calling it short and such. You also missed some other stuff, like the safari zone expansion.
Why would you randomize on a video showing postgame footage? Makes no sense
Also how did you get like 4 master balls
Like none of the tms match what you say at the end lol
It was randomized 👍
Nice vid bro
Thanks for the support!
Groudon
Also Registeel
Why would you use a randomized file for this? can't you just load your save in a non-randomized ROM? You kinda skipped a huge chunk of the post game.
Emerald’s post game wasn’t so bad. By and far the worst was X and Y. How did they go from HGSS and BW2 postgames to such garbage.
What is the point of this video if you are not catching the regis? That is arguably the most iconic post game legendary encounters in the series.
Regis can be caught before challenging the Elite Four 👍
@@TerraQuake1 thought it made sense to have it here. Anyway good video, it made me watch more from you and i enjoyed that as well
how did he get eevee?
It was randomized 👍
Yo you cach registeel
Why focus on post game content when you want to put content IN the game?
What about swsh post game? no the dlc doesnt count, fighting some random characters/dynamax mons is way worse than catching latis, weather legendaries, an almost impossible battle frontier, safari zone
swsh dlc was fire! isle of armor was so cool and the crownt udnra was cool
I beat Wallace but when I was home Dad wasn't there, no TV going off, just mom healing me, any idea?
Hmmmm that’s strange. You are playing Emerald right? Because in R/S Wallace is only the 8th gym leader
@@TerraQuake1 yup emerald
@@TerraQuake1I already had the ss ticket, I'm not sure if the latias latios even got activated, I'll try testing that but it's strange I haven't glitched at all this run but I have noticed minor bugs at points
Ya that is weird. It was your first time going through the Elite Four as well?
@@TerraQuake1 yup, I even fought wally before so definitely the first
This is the most L take ever. You skipped the majority of the endgame because it would take too long and your conclusion is the post game is short??😂😂😂
