I think the Bug-Catching contest is a brilliant idea. I am always so impressed with the Pokemon Company's ability in generating such an original game with such brilliance in every step of the game. But for the life of me, I can never get first place! I only got second or third. It drives me crazy, and I wish I knew how to get first place, but the effort taken without having the ability to 'save' is dreadfully distasteful towards my patience.

I thought I loved the Bug-Catching Contest... until I entered it today and one of the CPU's beat my Syther with his Venonat. I was dumbfounded {XD}

I do think it's creative, but I was kind of hoping for the Safari Zone to return. :/

I participated in it every time. I won most of the time with Scyther. I think a Butterfree beat me out once but no biggie. I never did know what to do with all those Sun Stones however.

I think I may have had both, but I don't remember. All I recall is having several Sun Stones stored away. {:3}

I always liked the bug catching contest, especially the prizes. It allowed me to get a Scyther early on in the game and I'm currently working on getting that up to battle-worthy level (Lv 50). Plus, not having a Safari Zone didn't bother me because you could find about 95% of the original Safari Zone pokemon in the wild.
