Battleground

We all know the writers don't always put things in the order they are in the games. Do you believe the Battleground will play a prominent role in the anime at all, or will be glossed over? What are your feelings and opinions on the subject?

like in hoenn the sealed chamber

I doubt it will be shown but I how I see it is that only a few Gym Leaders re-appear. Like the one's that appeared the least: Byron, Crasher Wake, and possibly Candice. Maybe at least 4 of them? Depending on how long Volkner will be shown, Fantina or Volkner would be my 4th choice to appear.
 
I don't think that the writers will show the Battleground. It just doesn't seem like that important of a place to be shown in the anime. Besides, it would be kind of random to see all the gym leaders there and then have them battle Ash. The anime is different from the games.
 
The battleground might get a "filler"(depending on which of the 97456 definitions of filler you use) ep about it, or else it could be used as a way to introduce Buck(who does own the place, despite being 13-ish) while adding in some gym leader cameos, but I can't see it being much more important than that.

Do I want it to be more important than I think it will be? Eh, I don't really care either way. Seeing GLs in the anime is always nice(especially since the writers are getting better and better at making them memorable characters), and it would be an excellent excuse to introduce Buck, but I can't see Ash doing much at the battleground since there's no way the writers will bother having him rematch more than one GL there(maybe two if they spring for a double battle gimmick. Which would be pretty cool if done right, come to think of it).
 
The only use I see for the Battleground is as Orange Islands-styled filler. Basically, a spot for the writers to waste time at until Gen5 comes out and allows them to work with a new area.

Besides, since Charon's still at large, the Stark Mountain subplot will most likely happen.
 
If they were to introduce it, I'd love to see the return of Gardenia for a battle involving Cacnea/Cacturne.
 
It is just going to be a Pre-Stark Mt episode. There's probably going to be a couple Cameos/flashbacks.

That is if they do a Battle Island.
 
Someone tell me what the Battleground is b/c I have no idea what it is.

It is a Resteraunt in the Survival Area of Battle Island, you can re-challenge the Gym Leaders there. It is only in Platinum.
 
I just got there yesterday and was struck with the idea of how cool and awe-inspiring if Ash had a rematch with some of the gym leaders with their new teams. True, maybe a little wishful, but it could definitely be used as a form of training vs Frontier Brains/Elite 4/etc.

Oh that thing. Nah I don't think they can do it.
 
the game it mentioned that only strong trainers are alloud in,they could make some type of tournoment in there for the anime.
 
I can't see the Battleground being that important. I think I'd rather see someone else take on the Sinnoh Gym leader's as opposed to Ash doing it again if they do the Battleground. I would love to see Brock vs Roark or Byron. Barry and Kotone battling A Sinnoh Gym leader would be nice. I'd even like to see a Dawn and Maylene rematch, even though Maylene would still probably win. But again I don't think the Battleground would happen.
 
Probably not,how could they go there without replacement.
 
If they decide to make the GF in the Resort Area then I could see a sub arc that involves Ash training for the league and running into Buck who takes him to the Battleground to help him train. It would be a good way to have Ash become much stronger in a short period of time. (It would be like in DBZ when they have intense training in a short period of time and end up a with a power level over 9000).

Maybe we could get some kind of special training for each of his Pokes that would either teach them a new move/technique or lead to evolution.
