Frontier Brain Trivia

Facility Trivia:

~The idea of Lazarus' Frontier Brain being similar to the Gym Challenge came to me as I thought Lazarus would want to think outside the box.

~Yes, a lot of the members are female. That was intentional because I thought it would be funny for Lazarus to recruit a lot of girls by accident.

~Lazarus is the mock Champion of his Battle Frontier, it was decided that because he created the idea and he is the owner of the facility. The others can challenge him for his title, but they have no desire to take his title.

~There's no order to battle the mock gym leaders but most challengers are recommended to battle Midnight first since she has everyone battle using Rental Pokemon.

~The order to battle the mock Elite Four are Lydia, Holly, Gracie and Priscilla in that order.

~Each member has a specific room and battle field they and their challengers battle on that matches their personality, theme team or type.

Midnight's Trivia:

~Midnight uses rental Pokemon because of how much her father influenced her when she was younger.

~If I were to give Midnight a proper team, she would probably use Pokemon with high speed as a reference to Marley being the Speed Stat trainer.

~Midnight was given a Gothitelle as her only Pokemon because of how Gothitelle's design is based off of the Gothic Lolita style.

Iclyn is the brawn as her birth father stars in action movies. Priscilla is the brain as Psychic types are known for using their heads.

~The idea for them having different parents came from how with someone thought that having Sabrina combine her Psychic abilities with Erika's good nature and Brycen's natural strength, they would become strong trainers.

~Sabrina, Will, Brycen and Erika were okay with the idea and everyone agreed to train each child separately so each of them could focus on one ability.
