What went right?

The cartoon opening was pretty ebin and gave a cool impression of frontier brains being an unparalled all-star cast of opponents. I do recall seeing an Aerodactyl in the OP so I was a bit pissed when none of them used one.

Honestly I feel they're underrated. They gave great post game material, actually challenging to a point. All had AT LEAST 7/10 character designs.

I hope they incorporate something like them for the post game of SM

It annoys me that I can't find a high res stitch of this shot. I love things like this where a group of opponents looms over MC in various threatening poses.

That they aren't in ORAS

Brandon too, technically.

The Frontier Brains have better designs than most Gym leaders

Okay, let's say each one was a Gym Leader. What would their main type be? Hard mode: No Fairy or repeating types.

>Noland - Steel
>Lucy - Poison
>Greta - Fighting
>Brandon - Rock
>Spenser - Water
>Anabel - Normal
>Tucker - Psychic

Rock/Water/Electric/Grass/Poison/Psychic/Fire/Ground
Flying/Bug/Normal/Ghost/Steel/Ice/Dragon/Dark

Why weren't they is ORAS?

best post game/challenge of any game to date

>>27776082
they made the hoenn anime watchable
rest was pretty dull

Advanced as a whole was better than even the highest points of Sinnoh

>already isn't monotype, branches out and does creative stuff with his mons
>friends with nearly every legendary so he could pull the noland thing of calling in a wild friend now and again, or the game frontier thing of just having a few legendaries as a staple

>each one is on-par with an E4 according to Agatha, which implies things
frontier brain was a cushy deal and tailor-made for him. we will never hear about them again though despite them existing in his home region in that continuity

Spenser seems more like a grass trainer.

Noland would be mono type.

Anabel is psychic duh.

Aww hell yeah, my favourite shot in any anime opening songs. If they ever did one.

>>27777176
plat battle frontier was better

>>27776628
How?

>>27776082
Battle Palace, Arena and Factory are my favorites. Didn't play Pike or Pyramid yet.

People still get butthurt about Maison hacking, but Maison RNG is nothing compared to Frontier.

It would be nice to have in ORAS, with all the new mechanics and changes, no doubt about that, but I believe that most people that complained didn't touched or got far on Frontier.

The challenges are nice, the problem is that the Frontier Brains are nowhere as memorable.
With the exception of best butler.
