(Commented about splitting the Hoenn Battle Frontier into subpages while retaining the original page.)

::::::::It's unfortunate that these split/merge matters tend to remain for a long time without any resolution occurring...  It's even more discouraging when the "six-month time limit for responses" is up, as the discussion becomes somewhat outdated and opinions may have changed since then, all without much headway/progress being made. I usually check talk pages more than the forums, though..  Anyway, my own opinion is that the Battle Frontier article for Generation 3 should be split into subpages while preserving this page as well. I agree with how there should only be one Battle Tower page and Battle Factory page to cover the facilities for both Hoenn and Sinnoh, as their mechanics do not seem to change much. Murky issues crop up with the Battle Tower, though, since the Crystal, Ruby/Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond/Pearl, and Platinum/HeartGold/SoulSilver buildings are technically all different entities (not to speak of the ones present in the anime); I'm even getting a bit confused keeping track of all these Battle Towers and their relations to one another..  But yeah, this page is getting somewhat long, though I think a split-and-preserve action would be very beneficial.

== Battle Arena - Judge's Decision, 'Body' Round ==
Seeing as I just remembered this issue, has anyone else had issues with the judge's/referee's decision (mostly concerning Body, which pertains to [[Hit Points]]).  "Mind" is somewhat straightforward (you get the maximum amount by attacking on all 3 turns prior to judgment), and I would presume that "Skill" has some degree of flexibility (for lack of a better word) on how it is calculated, but I would think "Body" should be the simplest one to calculate - whichever Pokémon has the better remainder/percentage/fraction/ratio of HP remaining (for example, 67% HP remaining trumps 30% HP remaining, while 50% HP left on both sides would tie). However, on occasion, I've encountered situations where I've clearly had more HP than the opponent on the "Body" round of judging (sometimes HP is the main factor in my loss; sometimes not) yet I still "lose" the "Body" round.  Similarly, the same issue has worked in my favor sometimes where the computer seemingly has more HP left than my Pokémon, yet I still manage to somehow win the "Body" round. This occurrence made me suspect that the "Body" round calculation might be based on a Pokémon's base HP stat (like how [[Blissey]] has phenomenally more HP than, say, a [[Sunkern]]); it most recently happened when I was facing a foe's Blissey. My Emerald cartridge is not externally modified in any way by [[cheats]] ([[Action Replay]], [[GameShark]], etc.) or anything similar, so I'm wondering if the aforementioned HP discrepancy could be a glitch of some sort in the programming. If I ever manage to get a video of said incident occurring, I will attempt to do so. Until then, I invite other players of Emerald Version to keep a look-out to see if they encounter a similar issue like mine during the "Body Round" of Battle Arena battle decisions/judgments, or to hopefully discuss the matter here if someone has encountered it before. Thanks in advance. [[User:Fenyx4|Fenyx4]] ([[User talk:Fenyx4|talk]]) 16:34, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
