Brendan looks better in that costume. =p Probably less practical outside in the Hoenn sun though.
I wonder if we'll get other costumes for the protagonists to reflect what contest theme they enter in? After all, the two shown here match two of the Pikachu get-ups remarkably well. As for how contests work, I would really just rather less dancing and a return to the RSE mechanics. Let some contest moves take appeal points off other Pokemon please, it made it much more fun and strategic. |
I too would like to see Brendan Belle lol I hope contest end up playing the same as in the original games..

Contests look to be glorified reasoning to give Pikachu alternate forms. Now I don't expect anything of real value from them since they appear just for Pikachu and it's forms based on what we've been given.
=C. RIP contests. |

So wait, Pikachu's costumes aren't just for display only? Looks like Pikachu can finally slay dragons without relying on HP Ice, but it must be a physical set, and thank goodness Brick Break, Volt Tackle, and Wild Charge exist. As much as I adore May's contest dress and Lucia, I fear GF may be going overboard with all the midriffs, especially on minors, as we live in a society where showing off a bit of skin is considered as taboo, because it's not professional (just ask the rope guy from One Piece).

I think this confirmes that the battle portion of contest is gone ;-;
R.I.P content |
^How does this confirm the battle portion's gone? As ORaAS stated earlier, we still don't know much about how contests'll work. The only information we do have is that the protags. can change their outfits for contests and Pikachu can change outfits and gain new moves upon doing so.

Well, I guess this sort of confirms a dress up part of the contest. Though I wonder if it'll be selecting from a collection of outfits, since it doesn't seem to be like DPPt's dress up where you could drag and drop, at least in Pika's case. |

I still wonder if they're going to expand the costumes to include Pichu and Raichu. Probably not, but the poor guys are always shoved to the side because of the mascot. |

Anyways. Perhaps the Pikachu costumes will get a boost in stats like Rotom. What I'll really like to know is if it'll be possible for one to evolve it while in these costumes and pass on the move it knows over to Raichu. Imagine Ice Crashing Raichu with Life orb... |
Icicle Crash Light Ball Pikachu would be loads of fun, too, haha. I also wonder if these Pikachu will be able to be used by NPCs. I can't really see them being used by random ones, but perhaps by important characters. It'd make things more interesting~

Besides Icicle Crash, which other special moves Pikachu gets from those costumes? |
Quote:
Pika + Light Ball = 110 Attack and 100 Special Attack; Raichu + Life Orb = 117 Attack and Special Attack, but with HP dropping 10% each turn. If you don't want to risk losing the HP, then Light Ball Pika's better, but if not then Raichu would be the better option. |

What if Game Freak is discouraging people from evolving their Pikas because they want more people to be like Ash or Red??? (Speaking of, I wonder if Ash will get to do contests and get outfits for his Pikachu.)
I sort of hope Pikachu doesn't get stat boosts, or if it does, that it only gets boosts in its defenses and maybe Speed. As I pointed out earlier, Pika with the Light Ball has pretty decent Attack and Special Attack, so if those were to be increased by the outfits, it would be even stronger when holding the Light Ball @[email protected] |
Quote:
Maybe it'll get a 50 point boost. 20 in speed, 10 in it's attacks, and five it's defenses. |

I think its just, because Pikachu is the Face of Pokemon. That would be the only real reasoning I see all this focus on it for the costume form change and the Contest focus. The contests seem to me, like they'll be glorified Musicals. Performing with specific costumes against other Pikachu. I want more info cause my opinion on Contests is very low thanks to recent discoveries. I didn't think they could ruin them further than they did with Super Contests. I'm shocked I didn't notice this either and seriously hope this isn't part of the requirement surrounding either Contests of the Costumes....ALL of the Pikachu shown in costumes, Libre, Rockstar, Pop Star, Belle, and Ph.D...are ALL FEMALE. Spoiler:
There are indents on all five tails making them have the heart like look. |

Appeal returns. Battle portion confirmed?
|
I'm just wondering, since each of the costumes give off a special move, are the costumes considered as formes, a la Rotom style? If so, I'm pretty sure the changing moves thing will be like Rotom's?
