Now I don't fully understand why people don't like the newer pokemon games (don't get me wrong those games aren't great, but I never really got the hate for them), but looking at it at least from the perspective of the battle facilities it's so bad.

Honestly I think coming down to it it's mostly design and lore, in black and white and it's remakes, the battle facility is the battle Subway set in the entrance of Nimbasa City, which is in the middle of the Unova, this works because it is again a Subway it reaches all across Unova. meanwhile the battle facility in sword and shield is set in the last city of the game, along with that the battle tower does not have a purpose other than Pokémon battles, unlike the battle Subway which is again a Subway who has a canonical use outside of Pokemon battles and a reason to be in the middle of the city and region.

Another thing is the design of both of these locations the battle Subway is nitty and gritty, IT'S LIVED IN, people going in and out to get across Unova, and people going in and out for Pokemon battles ant it looks it. the battle tower loses its design with the fact that it's very prim and proper, the battle tower looks like it has a million roombas and no one to walk through the front door in 40 years, it's too clean too nice for all of these Challengers to be going in it out and for it to be the hot place for Pokemon battles in the city.

Man.

I just can’t bring myself to like “Battle Facilities” in Pokemon Games. At least not the ones that aren’t more abstract. Stuff like the Battle Institute or the Battle Royal are pretty cool, cause they still provide a challenge (when the game’s RNG doesn’t completely screw you over) and have neat mechanics, but don’t have crazy stakes.

Stuff like the Battle Tower or the Battle Maison or the Battle Tree just don’t do it for me. They’re not fun. The odds are too stacked against you (not to mention the legitimacy of some mechanics according to datamines) to make it reasonable. And the fact that they’ve started hiding content behind them is upsetting. I’m fine with them putting items as rewards, like Lansat or Starf Berries, but now they’re hiding trainer battles behind them. What used to be indifference has become annoyance. And it’s a real blue-ballsing to make it past a 30 or 40 battle streak and lose.

The only times I’ve ever pursued a Battle Facility was the Maison in Omega Ruby, in order to unlock Daily Wally battles, and the Battle Tree, to battle Red and Blue. It was a major pain to get up to and beat the 50 streaks. Not fun in the slightest. Plus, now the Battle Tree has a bunch of trainers I’d really like to fight frequently besides Red and Blue, like Cynthia, Colress, or Anabel.

I’m not even big on battling in general, but I would like the option to just fight those trainers, without having to bulldoze my way through triviality.
