Thank you for voting!

I enjoy it. I'd call it even more fun than the Battle Frontier, which is saying a lot.
 
The only thing I wish the PWT had was teaming up with a Gym Leader. :< You could team up with an NPC in Platinum and BW, it's a shame you can't do that in the PWT. I know I'd be partnering up with Denzi or Shirona all the time, hoohoo...
 
I like the World Tournament and it's really fun, but it's just too difficult for me sometimes.
 
It's easily the most perfect battle facility I've ever encountered. :)
 
I adore the PWT. It's finally a battle facility that I can fully enjoy, especially it doesn't have the same frustrating win-streak system of all the others.

The battles are tough, but are very enjoyable because losing doesn't make you have to play for three hours to build up your wins again, and since you're battling mostly Gym Leaders and Champions, it makes every battle feel special. The option to change battle styles whenever you want also keeps things fresh.

It's because of the PWT's existence that I've only entered the Battle Subway in BW2 for the Judge's IV analysis, and I couldn't be happier about that.
 
Ah I love this system as opposed to winstreaks. I don't see anybody voting against here :p

I do find that I don't like playing it mod plot because I feel like I'm wasting time though.
 
I want a 3rd option for love it. For once they put something in a Pokemon game that is hard enough but not too hard.
 
I really love it!!! I would say the only bad thing about it is that it just makes me wish the gym battles where as tough as some of these ones. I never really liked the Battle Frontier but I've found myself playing PWT non stop ^^
 
It's definitely my favorite battle facility. The battles are definitely a real challenge, and it can be frustrating sometimes, but the sheer fun of fighting all these old characters makes it worth it. It's a lot more accessible than the other battle facilities - not having to build up ridiculously long winning streaks is a welcome change.

I know how you feel, in the Mix Masters tournament I always manage to get beat by my own Pokemon and get so frustrated but I still find it so fun!!
 
Being able to to battle all the gym leaders and Champions in one place is probably one of the best features to put in a Pokemon game. I love it! :D
 
It won't let me vote on the poll (probably because I just joined the forums), but yes, I love PWT. Being able to battle old gym leaders, old champions, and even real life tournament champions' teams is pretty awesome.

The only thing I wish is that it gave more BP, but that's a small gripe.
 
Yes. Not only is it fun to battle past Leaders and Champions, but it is a significantly easier way of getting Battle Points and all the goodies they can give over the Battle Subway. Sure, the number of Battle Points is a bit lower than the Battle Subway, but it's easier to battle three Trainers with reasonably powerful Pokemon vs. battling seven Trainers in with almost insanely high powered Pokemon and attacks, especially if you're not far into the game. Also depending on what type of tournament you do can yield different amounts of BP, which seem to be a more reasonable balance than sloshing through seven battles at a time for a low number of BP per set. On top of that, as I said before, it's more fun than the Battle Subway, giving not only a nostalgia feel (as well as see old favorite Leaders and Champions), but it just feels more enjoyable than the Battle Subway. So, yeah, the PWT is great! Probably one of the best features ever added into a Pokemon game.
 
I hate to be *that* guy, but I honestly think the PWT is an inferior Battle Dome in every aspect. The fact that most Gym Leaders are type specialists, with often one massive type weakness across their whole team, means move-spamming is usually the key to victory. They're too predictable: trainers with mixed teams would have been far better suited for the PWT, as in the Battle Dome. The consolation prize (a shard) is about as useful as the winning prize (BP), and it's rather disheartening to see people like it because it's good for BP-grinding.

White Treehollow/Black Tower on the other hand is a less derivative and more challenging experience, IMHO.
 
Of course, since Johto is my favorite region, I love seeing them again and seeing their even farther improved teams, so yeah. Except for when I see hacked Pokemon (How the heck do you get Blastoise with Iron Tail, or a Honchkrow with Icy Wind?).
 
I just couldn't do the Battle Subway in White because I didn't have time to work up win-streaks. And if you left and came back, sure, your win-streak was kept, but you might be rusty, or you might want to try different Pokémon without ruining your streak. It was obnoxious.

PWT takes the cake for the best Battle Facility in the series.
 
A large scale in-game ladder style tournament in a series where you'd think there'd be one but didn't happen until Emerald (on small scale) and wasn't heard from again in the bravado it well should've been from the get-go?

Do I like it? I WAITED for something like this to make itself known in the main series FOR YEARS! Thing was the ultimate deal-sealer for me since I was shaky on bothering with BW2.

Still in no horrible rush to pick it up though~
 
Not really. I played it a couple times, but it is not as fun as it looks like. The Battle Frontier (from both Generation III and IV) were way better post-game features.
