The Battle Frontier is a new area introduced in Pokémon Platinum, yet to be released, that will feature five different battle facilities. This is the second Battle Frontier made in the Pokémon world, the other being in Hoenn. The Battle Frontier is located in Sinnoh replacing the Battle Park from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Nothing is known about the other venues in the Battle Frontier, but it is confirmed to have the Battle Tower returning from Diamond and Pearl, much as was the case with the one in Hoenn.
Battle Points will be rewarded to the player for completing venues.
Detailed Map
Confirmed battling venues
Battle Tower
- Main article: Battle Tower (Sinnoh)
The Battle Tower is identical to the Battle Tower in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. The player battles seven, random trainers consecutively in a simple knock-out, progressively becoming more difficult. Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle with having their Level reduced to 50. After each battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely and have the option to continue, rest or retire. The Battle Tower has four modes:
- Single Battle
- Double Battle
- Multi Battle
- Wi-Fi Battle
It is unknown if Palmer still runs the tower, and, if so, if he is a leader of the Frontier Brains like Anabel. The Battle Tower's color is red.
Battle Factory
The Battle Factory will be another battle venue at Sinnoh's Battle Frontier, having basically the same ruling as the Hoenn Battle Frontier's Battle Factory. The player will be able to choose three rental Pokémon of six and battle another trainer with rental Pokémon. It is held in a blue stadium that has an odd similarity to a Prinplup's head. It's color is also blue.
Unknown Venues
A circus tent, a castle, and temple are the remaining three venues. It is unknown if they will reuse old Battle Frontier ideas like the Battle Pike, or will create new challenges.
