When the {{series|Advanced Generation}} started, filler episodes were reduced due to the introduction of [[Pokémon Contests]]. As with the Kanto saga, however, Hoenn was followed by what some consider a "filler arc", ''[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'', which built up for the arc corresponding to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
