The '''Battle Arcade''' (Japanese: '''バトルルーレット''' ''Battle Roulette'') is a facility located in the southeastern corner of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}. The building itself looks like a large tent, with articular domes, much like {{wp|Saint Basil's Cathedral}}. Inside the Arcade, it is dark with strange patterns on the walls and floors like a circus tent. In the stadium room, there is a large screen called the ''Game Board'' that most of the game is displayed on.

The player battles seven Trainers consecutively in a knock-out, much like all other facilities in the Battle Frontier. Before entering, Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle, having their [[level]] reduced to 50. Prior to battles, all items equipped on the Pokémon used are removed. Battles in the Battle Arcade are 3 vs 3. Upon entering, the player's Pokémon will be seen on the Game Board. The foe's Pokémon will also be seen when they enter the field.

Before a battle begins, the player must play the game board to determine the condition of the battle. The game board is a massive roulette machine that will scroll quickly through a grid of small boxes, known as ''Events''. Landing on a dark purple box affects the player while landing on a red box affects the foe. Gray boxes, on the other hand, affect both foes. Each event will have a different effect; some may lower the opponent's HP, poison the opponent's Pokémon, or speed up the game board. The choice may affect the player's Pokémon, the opponent's, or even the field. The board may land on status ailments, weather changes, level changes, Berries and more. It may even land on nothing. The status ailments appear to be based on moves with certain types. This means that {{type|Steel}} Pokémon are immune to poisoning. Every battle is called a ''game''; for example, the first battle is known as ''Game No. 1''. After winning a battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely, and the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]].
Before a battle begins, the player must play the game board to determine the condition of the battle. The game board is a massive roulette machine that will scroll quickly through a grid of small boxes, known as ''Events''. The roulette will stop by touching a button that appears on the touch screen, or after scrolling for 30 seconds. Landing on a dark purple box affects the player while landing on a red box affects the foe. Gray boxes, on the other hand, affect both foes. Each event will have a different effect; some may lower the opponent's HP, poison the opponent's Pokémon, or speed up the game board. The choice may affect the player's Pokémon, the opponent's, or even the field. The board may land on status conditions, weather changes, level changes, Berries and more. It may even land on nothing. The initial speed of the game board depends on the current round the player is in, with higher rounds having higher initial speeds.

The {{Berries}} and items gained from events change depending on the set. In early sets, Berries are usually {{cat|status-restoring Berries}} such as [[Aspear Berry]]. In later sets, they are usually {{cat|stat-raising Berries}}, such as [[Ganlon Berry]]. Items can have beneficial effects such as [[White Herb]], or negative effects such as [[Lagging Tail]].

The Battle Arcade first appeared in ''[[PS418|Deprogramming Porygon-Z]]'' as a part of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}. In ''[[PS421|Clobbering Claydol]]'', {{adv|Platinum}} challenged it as her second Battle Frontier facility. With the skills she had [[PS356|honed]] at the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], she was easily able to land the roulette on the symbols she wanted, making the battle conditions work in her favor.

With the skills she had [[PS356|honed]] at the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], she was easily able to land the roulette on the symbols she wanted, making the battle conditions work in her favor.


In ''[[PS423|Tackling Togekiss]]'', Platinum won her 20th consecutive battle, being ready to face {{FB|Arcade Star|Dahlia}}. She planned to use the roulette to {{status|paralysis|paralyze}} her opponent's Pokémon, but just when she was about to stop the roulette, an earthquake originating from [[Stark Mountain]] disrupted her, causing her to overgo the 30 second time limit to stop the roulette, leaving it to Dahlia to do it instead. She landed on the [[trade]] panel, meaning that the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s had to trade their Pokémon for this battle. Platinum was reluctant to fight against her own Pokémon, initially giving Dahlia the advantage. However, Platinum refused to give up, and her Pokémon were ready to fight to their fullest, giving her the confidence required to make a comeback. In ''[[PS425|Cooling Off Heatran]]'', she managed to win the battle, earning herself the [[Commemorative print|Arcade Print]].

The Battle Arcade (Japanese: バトルルーレット Battle Roulette) is a facility located in the southeastern corner of the Battle Frontier. The building itself looks like a large tent, with articular domes, much like Saint Basil's Cathedral. Inside the Arcade, it is dark with strange patterns on the walls and floors like a circus tent. In the stadium room, there is a large screen called the Game Board that most of the game is displayed on.

Challenges

The player battles seven Trainers consecutively in a knock-out, much like all other facilities in the Battle Frontier. Before entering, Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle, having their level reduced to 50. Prior to battles, all items equipped on the Pokémon used are removed. Battles in the Battle Arcade are 3 vs 3. Upon entering, the player's Pokémon will be seen on the Game Board. The foe's Pokémon will also be seen when they enter the field.

Before a battle begins, the player must play the game board to determine the condition of the battle. The game board is a massive roulette machine that will scroll quickly through a grid of small boxes, known as Events. The roulette will stop by touching a button that appears on the touch screen, or after scrolling for 30 seconds. Landing on a dark purple box affects the player while landing on a red box affects the foe. Gray boxes, on the other hand, affect both foes. Each event will have a different effect; some may lower the opponent's HP, poison the opponent's Pokémon, or speed up the game board. The choice may affect the player's Pokémon, the opponent's, or even the field. The board may land on status conditions, weather changes, level changes, Berries and more. It may even land on nothing. The initial speed of the game board depends on the current round the player is in, with higher rounds having higher initial speeds.

Every battle is called a game; for example, the first battle is known as Game No. 1. After winning a battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely, and the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their Vs. Recorder.

The Berries and items gained from events change depending on the set. In early sets, Berries are usually status-restoring Berries such as Aspear Berry. In later sets, they are usually stat-raising Berries, such as Ganlon Berry. Items can have beneficial effects such as White Herb, or negative effects such as Lagging Tail.

Platinum arc

The Battle Arcade first appeared in Deprogramming Porygon-Z as a part of the Battle Frontier. In Clobbering Claydol, Platinum challenged it as her second Battle Frontier facility. With the skills she had honed at the Veilstone Game Corner, she was easily able to land the roulette on the symbols she wanted, making the battle conditions work in her favor.

In Tackling Togekiss, Platinum won her 20th consecutive battle, being ready to face Dahlia. She planned to use the roulette to paralyze her opponent's Pokémon, but just when she was about to stop the roulette, a tremor originating from Stark Mountain disrupted her, causing her to overgo the 30 second time limit to stop the roulette, leaving it to Dahlia to do it instead. She landed on the trade panel, meaning that the Trainers had to trade their Pokémon for this battle. Platinum was reluctant to fight against her own Pokémon, initially giving Dahlia the advantage. However, Platinum refused to give up, and managed to motivate her Pokémon fight to their fullest, giving her the confidence required to make a comeback. In Cooling Off Heatran, she managed to win the battle, earning herself the Arcade Print.
