Yeah, I guess the costumes are just an added detail/aspect of the contests. Like some costumes are worth more points depending on the pokemon.

Does this mean the return of Pokeblocks too?? What about Contest Stats??
What about Feebas' evolution o_o

Someone suggested that perhaps they'll work like the contest scarfs, meaning they could boost their contest stats.

Aether★ July 22nd, 2014 10:39 PM

Awesome. I'm going to trade my Shiny Milotic and win every single contest in that game hehe.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire July 22nd, 2014 11:02 PM

I wonder if contest stats from back in Gen IV will still be reflected as it's been awhile. Perhaps the transfer to V and then VI might've wiped the contest stats out of our old contest mons :(

iirc a Feebas with perfect beauty in gen 3 will still evolve if transferred to gen 6, so they probably haven't.
But on that note, its interesting that we finally get a remake of a game from which Pokemon are transferable. What about, say, a Pokemon which has already won a contest and gotten a ribbon. What happens if you transfer that over? Can you still use it in the master rank if its already won the master rank in rse?

That part about Feebas is interesting. I thought Contest stats had been removed when I saw they merged their Ribbons. If those remain, maybe the individual Contest Ribbons are still there also, and if they're there, they should allow us to go into the higher ranks if the same contests return.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire July 23rd, 2014 10:58 AM

Good point. I would think they would. Unless they make new ribbons compared to those available in RSE...

Pepperton July 24th, 2014 9:48 PM

I'd like the ribbon system to remain as it was in the originals, it functioned fine and the end result was something to look forward to. Maybe you can pin the ribbon on to your Pokemon's costume!

Maybe after winning? We could even get a picture with our winning Pokemon. Speaking of which I sure hope that the painter from RSE returns. I got a drawing for each category (most of them being of my Prize winning Latias...)

I never got a painting, so I definitely hope he returns!!

I assume that the category splits will return as they were in the originals, and the Contest stats will just be unviewable if you trade your Pokemon over to XY.

Salzorrah July 25th, 2014 1:55 AM

The only painting I've ever received as far as I can remember is the Beauty Contest with Milotic lol xD I hope they do return with a more lively painting haha

And as for the category splits, either they just hide it in XY or add it in the patch.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire July 25th, 2014 12:05 PM

I don't recall them having the contest stats visible in the games that lacked them which shared the same generation with RSEDPP (aka FrLg HgSs), so it'll likely be hidden in XY like it has in the prementioned games plus Gen V and XY.

XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE August 5th, 2014 6:53 PM

I cannot WAIT for this!! :) I spent almost the same amount of time taking part in the Contests as I did playing the main game lol xD It'd be cool if you could take part in them online against Passers By etc. in much the same way as you could trade/battle in X and Y :)

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 7th, 2014 10:09 PM

While everyone is at the Mega thread I'll just take the time to post this
I'm liking the new look. I wonder who that girl with the blue hair is. At first I thought it was Winona, but it seems to be someone else. Perhaps she's the Aarune of contest :)

Btw I fear the reactions of May's contest dress from those who were bothered by her new normal clothes. I think there may be five, one for each of the contest stats.

Yato August 7th, 2014 10:17 PM

Lucia (a.k.a. me /brick'd (one of my nicks is Lucia)) is really cute <3 Also, looks like the protags. get contest apparel just like Lucas and Dawn did in DPPt? That, or Trainer Customization confirmed :D Maybe at least for contests; I can see five like ^ stated.

Also find it neat the Pikas can learn special moves; poor Pika Ph.D being the only one to learn a status move, though :<

Salzorrah August 7th, 2014 10:20 PM

Atleast we know #ContestsConfirmed hnnng YES!

I wonder if you can have a boss battle with Lucia :(

According to Serebii she'll give us costumes as we go, so it seems like these aren't the only ones. It'll be interesting to see Beautiful Brendan and Rock star May xD

Perriechu August 7th, 2014 10:34 PM

I hope contests don't turn out to be a mix of Gen IV's version and musicals from V. I want them like the original tbh. ):

I'm still hoping we get some sort of battle round but we more than likely won't since that would have been revealed by now, I thought the Pikachu's getting special moves was a little hint that we were but apparently not lol.

also that latest contest scan annoys me because why is Salamence randomly on stage with a bunch of Pikachus?

Famon August 7th, 2014 10:39 PM

I'm wondering how old Lucia is !!!
I like her to be same age as the Player Or Ash.

Considering the costumes I'm guessing they'll at least be similar to Super Contests.

Salamence looks pretty cool in there tbh xD.

Yeah, he looks just like Ruby without that hat on, minus the scar (well of course, he's based off of him). I can see him wearing these costumes in the manga. I hope he can have Sapphire put on the Beauty or the Cute costumes. I bet she'll look great in them (and I can imagine her protesting against the idea).

L0RD G3NGAR August 7th, 2014 11:41 PM

It saddens me. I don't think the battle portion will be returning. ;-;

Yato August 7th, 2014 11:45 PM

I'm hoping you'll be able to fight Lucia, especially if she's able to use Mega Altaria. (Also, off the topic of this thread but since she seems to be a notable figure with a Mega, maybe that confirms Mega Flygon since Aarune has a Flygon? Can't remember if someone mentioned this in the Mega Evos. thread or not XD)

Still wondering if any other Pokemon'll receive costumes. If they do, I can't see them getting special moves like Pikachu, but then again, who knows, haha.

That thought crossed my head too. Perhaps she'll battle in the contests. It'll be interesting if going Mega changes the judging (or if it'll even be possible)

@ Flamebot We still don't know much about how the contests are going to work in these games (I think we need to wait for more to be translated or said in a future issue, or for the official site to update if this issue ends up lacking those specifics)

Hikamaru August 8th, 2014 2:05 AM

I have to say, I'm loving that Lucia character already. The fact her outfit is blue with fluff accentuations definitely fits Altaria being her signature Pokemon. Also, given the CoroCoro scan showed Brendan dressed in Pikachu's Rock Star outfit and May dressed in the Pop Star outfit shows that apparently the player's character dresses up for the contest, sorta like what happened in Sinnoh where the player wore a tuxedo or dress during the contests in D/P/Pt.

Pikachu's different contest outfits having unique moves is pretty nice as well. They all seem fitting for them although Pikachu Belle (aka the Beauty one) learning Icicle Crash kinda made me scratch my head. Don't get why that fits it, but maybe because most Ice-type moves tended to be classed as Beauty as far as move categorization for contests went. Other than that, I can't wait to see which categories the moves from 5th and 6th Gen get placed in given Contests didn't exist after 4th Gen until now.
