Four cute sisters, each with her own distinct personality so at least one of them is likely to appeal to you. They feel like they should have been a bigger hit with the fanbase.

The frontier brains are barely remembered.

They caught on in Japan, when they were called The Quintessential Quintuplets
>>
>>58745117
>Quintuplets
there's 5 of them?
>>
>>58745129
Itsuki doesn't have a personality so she doesn't get to be a Chatelaine
>>
>>58745097
The Frontier Brains didn't catch on at all whatsoever.
What the fuck are you on about?
Jesus, this board gets more retarded and schizophrenic by the day. People just string along random words without any thought anymore.

Maybe you weren't born yet when they were more popular, but you don't have to be upset about it
>>
>>58745097
the red one's cute, the others range from eh to meh
>>
>>58745178
>they were more popular
no
>>
>>58745178
The Hoenn ones saw a bit of popularity due to the anime treating them like Gym Leaders. People remember Palmer for being in the main facility that also was the only one in DP but also as Barry's dad. People remember Caitlin but not as a Frontier Brain. Nobody remembers those other 3 shitters

One was bought back for the BW Elite 4.

I'll always give it up for Dana and Morgan being the last bastions of Triple and Rotation battles and because they're hot
>>
>>58745279
>call it out
>thinks I forgot it
Just goes to show how little people remember Caitlin as a Frontier Brain
>>
>>58745097
I always liked Evelyn design the most.
Blue is always a good color to work with.

>he thinks the frontier brains caught on
KEK

no one on this fucking board remembers this character’s name

>>58745563
Argenta, she was the one Frontier Brain I could defeat because I wasn't autistic enough to IV breed or not use my favorites
>>
>>58745097
The Frontier Brains never caught on.
Face it, this kind of postgame content is niche, and the Chatelaines prove it. The majority of people didn't interact with them.
This is why SV didn't include a battle facility. People don't care. Simple as.

I wish GF could make them appear in ZA bros...

Besides miniscule Lucy porn and Thorton being a meme with jap factory streamers, no one gives a shit about frontier brains

Battle Facilities just kind of go to show how fucking unfun the pure battling aspect of the games are. Raw gameplay that emphasizes hours spent on trying to make optimal mons. This is on top of having occasional shitmons with OHKO moves that solely exist to flank you as a way to kill your streak and make you restart from scratch. It goes against the initial point of Pokemon altogether, picking shit up off the side of the road and training it to be the very best it can be. The eugenics aspect of the franchise was bitched about for years and the results show by how people talk about the games nowadays

>Masuda tries to implement IVs/EVs as a way to "make all Pokemon unique"
>Battle facilities use minmaxed mons anyway

Blame the fucking mechanics of the franchise for why people don't give a shit. If Triple Battles were actually fun they'd be a mainstay mechanic. They weren't. Ohmori's games have done their best to fucking dump pavement all over these dogshit mechanics to make the process as smooth as possible and it's not for Battle Facilities, it's just for VGC, which have effectively replaced the need for these unnecessary mechanics

Honestly if anything, it only shows how bad the streak system is. Stadium 2 infinitely had the more sensible system of 8 battles in a challenge that give you retries for perfect clears.
>>
>>58746182
The only time I saw any of these girls was from using only the most broken consistent strategy possible. So it kinda took the fun out of seeing them.

>Need to get like 8 fights in a row to get more than 1 BP in your streak
>Need tons of BP to buy battle items for increasing your likelihood of winning in the first place

Absolutely baffling design

>>58746242
That's what the game encourages anyway. So writing RPG dialogue for a system that is an inferior version of the console battle sims is just insanely half-hearted design. You're not accomplishing anything plot wise, you're basically just spinning your wheels for crumbs of a reward that's designed as deliberate padding because they couldn't be assed to design an actually fun way to challenge players after a piss easy main game. You can't just fight the Facility characters and learn more about them the normal way an RPG does its writing, you get a couple win/loss lines, some NPCs talking about their lore and that's fucking it

I wIshed one of them appeared in ZA

Think this guy nailed it. Nobody cares about the battle facility leaders in any game because of this exact shit right here. I doubt OP has even fought any of them a single time, he just wants more rule 34
