The '''Battleground''' (Japanese: '''しょうぶどころ''' ''Match Place'') is a building owned by [[Buck]] that is located in the [[Survival Area]] of the [[Battle Zone]], and only available in {{game|Platinum}}. After the [[Stark Mountain]] subquest with [[Team Galactic]], {{player}}s can {{pkmn|battle}} [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Stat Trainers|Tag Battle partners]] from earlier in the game. Up to four of these {{pkmn|Trainer}}s appear each day and they can be battled only once a day. Resetting before entering the Battleground will change the Trainers who are inside.

==In the games==
The Battleground is owned by [[Buck]] and appears only in {{game|Platinum}}. After the [[Stark Mountain]] subquest with [[Team Galactic]], {{player}}s can {{pkmn|battle}} [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Stat Trainers|Tag Battle partners]] from earlier in the game. Gym Leaders can appear simultaneously in the Battleground, their respective Gyms, and possibly the [[Villa]].
 
Up to four of these Trainers appear each day and they can be battled only once a day. Resetting before entering the Battleground will change the Trainers who are inside. If the player saves the game while inside and then reloads the next day, they may exit and reenter to find a new group; in this manner, the player may battle two sets of Trainers in the same day. (However, if a Trainer appears in both groups, they may not be rebattled in the same day after reentering the Battleground in this way.)


According to Buck's grandfather, only Gym Leaders and those vouched for by them are allowed here. If the player attempts to enter before completing the Stark Mountain subquest, interacting with the door will produce the message: ''The door is shut tight. "Members only" is printed on it.''

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Two groups of Trainers can be battled on one day by saving inside the Battleground the day before. The {{player}} can battle the Trainers, walk out, and walk back in to find that the Trainers have changed.
** If some of the Trainers have not changed, those Trainers will not be able to be rebattled.
* During the time [[Gym Leader]]s appear here, they can still be found in their respective Gyms and possibly also the [[Villa]].
* When both Roark and Byron appear at the same time, their after-battle dialog changes from what it normally would be; Roark tells the player that when he became a Gym Leader, he realized how great a Trainer his dad is, but that he would never admit it in front of his father. Byron talks to himself about how Roark thinks he can "show up his old man", and that he, Byron, will need to get better to prevent that from happening.

* A small graphical glitch occurs with the counter and TV on the right side of the room. When the {{player}} (or even an NPC) is next to either object, it can cause the colors to "jump" out of line.
