The Hoenn Battle Frontier (ホウエン地方 バトルフロンティア Hōen-chihō Battle Frontier) is an
The artwork of the Hoenn Battle Frontier
area introduced in, and only accessible in Pokémon Emerald. This area features seven different "Facilities" where the player can take part in Pokémon battles against Trainers and Frontier Brains. In Pokémon Emerald, the Battle Frontier is only accessed if the player has defeated the regional Elite Four. After beating the Elite Four, the player can get to the Battle Frontier via the S.S Tidal.
This Battle Frontier also appears in the Anime series, but with several notable changes. The most apparent of changes is that instead of the facilities being in a single location, in the Hoenn region, they are instead scattered around the Kanto region. It is larger than the Sinnoh battle frontier because it has more facilities.
Appearances in the games
In the game Pokémon Emerald, you are asked to enter one of two categories: Level 50 or 'Open Level'. In Level 50, you can enter Pokémon between level 5 and 50.

In Open Level, you can enter level 50-100, however it is safer to enter in level 60-100, for none of your opponents will have less than level 60 Pokémon. In the game, the facilities each have a "Frontier Brain" protecting the facility. Each of the Frontier Brains has a Symbol, which you have to obtain by defeating them in a battle.
