In Diamond, Pearl and Platinum contests were reunited with Pokemon Contests from the previous generation RSE. But what were your thoughts on Pokemon Contests? In Heart Gold and Soul Silver, a new addition was introduced known as the PokeAthlon. What were your thoughts on this brand, spanking new addition? Comparing the two, which did you squeeze the most enjoyment out of? Why? Did one attract you more than the other? How so?
Personally, I loved both additions, but I definitely fell in love with the concept of the PokeAthlon almost immediately. Contest were new to me as well, as I hadn't really played much of RSE; however, I didn't seem to warm up them as well and as quickly in comparison. With that being said, it's only natural that I enjoyed playing the PokeAthlon more. There was a variety of mini-games as well a variety of useful and rare items that could be bought with the points that you racked up after each time you participated. I think it was a great incentive to play. Whereas with Pokemon Contests, there were only three mini-games, and hardly any of them were fun. They were repetitive and lack-luster, and didn't require much skill to be used to win in them, than in The PokeAthlon.
What's your stance? Discuss!
