The Pokeathlon Events
 
So the pokeathlon had five things you could excel at - speed, power, skill, stamina and jump. Within these there is various events you can participate in. Which did you do the best at, which did you find the hardest and which would you remove if you had a chance. Also feel free to discuss the events in general :3

I'm pretty good at the Brick Break event and the Relay Event, averaging in at least... 88.some-odd seconds. And at least 130 Bricks.

My least favorite events are the Soccer Like event and the Penent Chase.

I was good at Block Smash, Ring Drop, Disc Catch, Snow Throw and Relay Run. I tend to struggle with Lamp Jump and Pennant Capture.

I was good at Pennant Capture, Relay, Hurdles, Disc Catch, Ring Drop (Is that it's name?), Block Break and Lamp Jump. I struggled with snow throw.

Out of all of the 'side-events' in the gaming series (Contests, Musicals etc.) the Pokeathlon is easily my favourite out of all of them. Mainly 'cause it requires skill on the part of the player in the moment, instead of simply hours and hours of berry feeding/scarf sashaying. Obviously that's still a part of the Pokeathlon, but I liked how it wasn't the be-all-and-end-all. The integration of the DS' touch pad was really well done and the whole thing is an example of a side-event done well.

As for favourites, I liked the Hurdle Dash, the Relay Run and the Block Smash. I managed to excel in those whenever I tried them out. The Speed contest in general was always my go-to one, as well, as my team had a lot of fast critters in it. (Helloooooo, Aerodactyl! :D)

The three that I am the best at are the Relay Run, Block Smash and Circle Push, and the one I was the worst at was the Pennant Capture. I agree that the Pokeathlon is my favorite "side-event" as well, as there is some actual skill involved. I'd like to see it included in a future game, but I won't get my hopes up.

Relay Run and Block Smash were easily my favourites, especially since I had quite a few Pokemon with great speed and excellent strength. What would really irritate me though was when I wouldn't receive any bonus points. But it always felt great not getting any but still smashing the competition anyway. XD;

I found that I was the best at speed, I usually win the events in the category. I have a hard time with the others for some reason.
