This is an odd idea, but what if there was an item that activated the Battle Frontier?
For people mentioning Delta Emerald, we have never gotten a 3rd version of remakes. If this was the case, we would have had a remake of Yellow, and a remake Crystal.
GF is trying to make themselves unpredictable nowadays. Don't trust what they did the first four gens. I can see it coming and still surprise the heck out of us, because it would be impossible, yet it still happened. Who expected sequels of B/W in the first place?
Except, what would the point even be...? Not only is it a colossal waste of resources, it's also redundant unless Delta Emerald was going to be entirely new content.

Its within the realm of possibility, I think. IDK why else they'd hold stuff back like that.
I wouldn't mind if they broke the mold a little with that, so long as its not just ORAS with a few Emerald attachments.
The display with a mini Battle Tower model says that it's going to be developed into a Frontier soon.

As much as the idea of having a Battle Frontier appeals to me, I'd have to say that the same argument about patterns suggests they don't think the Frontier is all that important. It is even more doubtful that they consider it important enough to take the unprecedented step if making a third-version remake of a pair of games they've just remade. As sad as it is, I suspect they think Triple and Rotation Battles fill some of that niche, and that they want to encourage people to challenge other human players. The Battle Frontier might be dead.It happened a grand total of twice, so it must be a pattern. Just like how the first four generations had third versions, and then the fifth had...oh wait.
If that was the case, then WaterBlue, and Grey would've already happened. Sometimes these things are just irrelevant trademarks.
what I don't understand if they wanted to be faithful to ruby and sapphire why not at the very least give us the battle tower and not the battle maison? anyway I can see the next paired versions perhaps being pokemon z and pokemon delta emerald with both tying kalos and hoenn together!
Just copy pasting the maison is way easier for them as they already have all the data from XY. About "Delta Z"(having Hoenn and the BF on Z/X2Y2), it's more likely than an Emerald remake at least.

So I read this in another thread and it's given me some hope: we know thanks to the datamining and that image of Blaziken with Ice Punch that move tutors make a return; however, so far no one who has the game early has found them in what is available--please correct me if I am out of the loop here--and they were located in Battle Frontier in Emerald. Which suggest that there is more content somewhere, right!?
