We haven't had Pokémon Contests since Gen IV (DPPt to be specific), but seeing as they were introduced in Ruby and Sapphire, do you think they'll return here? Personally, I hope so. Contests were always my favourite side attraction (possibly besides the Pokéathlon) and it'll give Ribbons their return too, since they weren't used much in Gen V or XY. What do you think? Do you think they'll return? Or would you rather them stay in the past?

We should get rewards for having xxx number of ribbons on a Pokémon, and they should also give out misc. ribbons like they did with that footprint guy in DP. Also, that Ribbon Syndicate was a cool place, and it was nice to know they actually gave us an objective with contests. I think something like that would call out to the importance of contests.

I really want to see Wallace as a coordinator if contests are coming back. He seems like the type to enter. Plus, the anime and PokeSpe also made him a coordinator, so why not? P:

Plus I'll have the joy to have a contest with him squee~

Heyheyhey! :D

I remembered from when I played the original R/S/E games my love/hate for Pokemon Contests. They seemed different and kind of fun~

I was wondering if you guys think if it will make re-appearance.
If it does what do you expect from it?
Did you like them or hate them before, or were you neutral to it?

On that note... do you think they will have PokeBlocks again? hehe

Thanks for your time,
Ani.

{XD} I love how "*too busy showing off your favorite Pokémon's good side to the Judge*" is the second-highest-voted poll option at the moment; that was such a last-minute addition! XD

I like the idea in concept, but I'm not sure how it would work..? The pre-Appeal round of Contests is based on a Pokemon's Contest Condition "stats" (in addition to whether a Pokemon is holding a Contest Scarf), and the actual Appeal Round is based on Pokemon actions..? The calculation is rather complex, it seems.. XD Unless you could select what bonuses/penalties you wanted to apply for a given Contest? (like a given Pokemon gains 10 more Points if it uses a Fire-type move, or 5 Points are deducted if a Pokemon uses a Hyper Beam-variant move?)

Wow, even the Pokemon Special/Pokemon Adventures manga made Wallace a Pokemon Coordinator? It's like he has to be one at this point (even his battle dialogue makes him seen more Contest-oriented than battle-oriented!). XD

I'm hoping that "Emerald Mode" is implemented from Pokemon Emerald (so that you don't actually need 4 people to conduct a multiplayer Pokemon Contest like you needed in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire) so that 2-4 people can participlate in wireless Pokemon Contests, with unused spots being fulfilled by NPC players as usual.

Also, I hope the Blend Master (who is like a legend at Berry Blending/PokeBlock-making) from Pokemon Emerald appears a bit more often, so individuals who have friends that suck at Berry Blending or lack any friends with OR/AS can still make good PokeBlocks! Honestly, if you're not using Berries for battle, the sole reason to plant and harvest them is in preparation for the Blend Master's arrival; all the other Berry Blending NPCs frankly suck, sorry to say (I wonder how I managed making non-Blend Master PokeBlocks back in my Sapphire days). XD

Finally, I'm hoping you can send the Contest paintings that you get for winning Master Rank Pokemon Contests can be shared with/sent to other players (both local Wi-Fi and online), along with the player being given the option to host other people's paintings in their own game's Lilycove Art Museum...?

Should there be a mini-game to dress up/prepare your Pokemon for Pokémon Contests?
1. I hope.
2. F No! Bring back Pokeblock!
3. I really don't care.
4. I like that idea.
5. I like the idea floated earlier of using Pokemon-Amie for this.

I freaking loved contests. I remember trying to max out one of the traits (Beauty, cool, etc) but I never could. I hope in like Diamond/Pearl you get to face off popular trainers in contest when you reach the higher ranks. BRING BACK THEM CONTEST

I loved the Hoenn contest. I'd love it if they brought them back and had contest halls in every town or city that had them in the originals.

I have a feeling that they will try to bring it back, but there are tons of moves now and it will take a lot of time to put them into their own categories. That's probably why they didn't do it 5th gen, but maybe since ruby and sapphire were such fan favorites, they will do it just for us. I loved contests. And I wanna see 3d models of all of the judges and you can dress up and maybe they should make it like the anime and have the battles. I can't wait to see what they do with this.

Maybe GF has been working on the category list since Gen V ended. Maybe that's also the reason why they didn't make as many moves this generation as they usually do.

A thousand times yes!

Playing through the games originally, I was a huge fan of the Pokemon Contests. Honestly, I preferred them to the actual gym challenge. I'd catch pokemon based on their moves categories and groom them so that they were the perfect contest pokemon! Once the anime came out, I fell in love with the idea of becoming a coordinator. I drew fanart of myself coordinating; the whole nine yards hahaha. Unfortunately, the contests in the anime were much more detailed and intricate than in the game. I had always hoped that they would put time in creating a spin-off, or even a mini-game, that featured pokemon contests as they are in the anime.

ORAS would be the perfect opportunity for Game Freak to develop and expand the Contest feature! It would be so amazing if you could choose whether to take the road of a Trainer (like Ash in the anime) or a coordinator (like May in the anime), and each would vary how the region was set up. If coordinator was chosen, then the gyms would be replaced with Contest Halls, and badges would be replaced with ribbons. The smaller contests would be replaced with small gyms that didn't pose as much of a challenge as they would've had you gone down the trainer route. The opposite would be true if they player chose trainer instead of coordinator.

Obviously, my theory isn't very likely to happen, but if Nintendo does end up adding more to the Pokemon Contests in ORAS, I'll be elated. :]

The work they may do on organising moves would be nothing in comparison to what they had to do for creating models for 719 Pokémon, especially given that said moves already have their 3D animations made. It certainly won't hurt to see contest moves back, would it?

Honestly, I don't mind. I think that if they put Contests back in they'll use DPPt's format, which imo was pretty fun to play. :3 If they expand it, though, I hope they don't make them entirely useless like Musicals are, earning Ribbons actually felt like an achievement at the highest level (at least to my younger self, haha. I haven't tried recently).

I preferred the Hoenn format over the Super Contests of Sinnoh...to me there was more diversity in Hoenn's.

The DPPt contest format was enjoyable, but I feel like the RSE one was a lot different, and as a remake, they'll most likely bring contests back in the RSE style. However, it would be great if they added some of the features that DPPt brought to the table.

As we all know, RS had Pokemon Competitions. Some people enjoyed it and some didn't touch it. Do you think if they add Pokemon Competitions do you think they will make it competitive like battling? I think it would be awesome, and I would definitely be joining these competitions. Anyone else on board with these Competitions? I already made a team for it if they bring it back. ._. Skarmory for cool, Castform for Smart, and I'm deciding on my beauty competitor...

You mean Pokemon Contests? I wasn't really that interested in them when I played RSE, but I think it would be cool if GameFreak implemented a wifi Contest system in ORAS, so then people could get competitive with them too. That would be interesting to see, since Pokemon moves work differently in contests than they do in battles.

I didn't really like the contests in Hoenn, but I'm still looking forward to them being in these remakes, mostly because I want to see contest attacks in 3D, haha. It would be nice if they added a few of D/P/Pt's features into the contest system, but considering it's a remake, I'm sure it'll just be an improved version of the original system.

It would be rad if they elaborated on the system by making the first part of the Contest an actual showcase of the Pokemon's moves and skills. Maybe create like three or four possible ways to flaunt each move that currently exists, and then create combinations of moves to generate a score from the judges. Granted, that's probably much too intricate and detailed for a mini-game, but still. I can dream. :]

Would the concept for Pokemon Contests remain same? Or would i change to how it is in D/P/Pt? Or even better? Voice out your views here!

Id like to see the return of pokeball seals as well. I always thought those were sweet. Maybe add a few more designs?

For the contests I hope they do more for the visual part. Maybe have a little mini game or something to determine how well your pokemon does. Or similarly to the anime, have it string together some attacks that appeal well. And then for the second round a contest battle?

They should bring both pokebloks and pokeball seals back, I loved the seals and never understood why they were taken out after 4th gen, plus I'd love to see some new mechanics, the dancing part in D/P/Pt was too repetitive.

I love the contests, but more for advanced generation than DPP because you can actually make combination in moves. But if they bring back pokemon seals and pokeblocks back with DPP style, the least I ask is for nintendo to come up with combination moves (updated of course). Although it would be cool to have an additional judge over Wi-Fi. Frankly, I would prefer if the dancing mimic part gets replaced by something better and if you repeat the master rank and win again, the reward should be better than a ball.

Not too sure yet of what I expect of the reward as long as it's useful to the game. Maybe the pokemon seals can contribute to winning the contest and not just for show. Wait, maybe the reward can be a rare seal that can be used for more of a bonus. Who knows?
