It sucks that I got into Pokemon contests right when my internal battery died so I couldn't get more berries...

You guys know that it IS possible for Cosplay Pikachu to be either gender. No official source states Cosplay Pikachu's gender, therefore, it can be male. I'm not sure if male Cosplay Pikachu have a different tail design as the female Cosplay Pikachu, or will both genders have that heart-shaped mark on the end of its tail.

And here's hoping this computer doesn't double post...

EDIT: It didn't, phew...

It doesn't, but a screenshot shows Cosplay Pikachu as female, and we know that it is a special Pikachu. Since it appears to be a gift (as the site says we get it in the official site) and in game gift Pokemon (and even most wi-fi gifts) tend to have a set gender it's very likely it'll be only female.

Yuck... the last time that I've touched one of those contests was when I was playing R/S on an emulator. Even at the lowest tier contests I was having a pretty hard time with it. Contests are a completely different thing compared to normal fights, & they're a concept that I'll likely will never grasp.

Thus, I'm not even going to look at them in ORAS, as I don't want to relive that experience that I had earlier. After all, I never went into them in D/P/Pt.

I'm hoping they veer away from DPPt contests and make them more like they were in RSE. Some features from Sinnoh can remain, but overall I liked the Hoenn variant more.

According to this screenshot, they are apparently going to follow the RSE format:



Notice how it has the "jamming" rate (aka deduction of points from the opponents) alongside the appeal. That was sadly the only thing I didn't like about Hoenn's contests, it turned them into more of a luck-based thing, but the Mega Evolution for an appeal when you max the judge's meter out is a nice twist to make it still fresh while retaining the original elements.

So....besides the being able to Mega Evolve when the meter's maxed out, is there anything else to make contests different from how they were in R/S/E?

Graphically speaking they changed the stage up. In terms of moves we got more of them compared to RSE. Other than those obvious changes and the Mega evolution mechanic they haven't shown much else.
