I doubt Wallace will be replaced by her. I do think they can be siblings. Hey maybe Steven is her current Boyfriend, explaining how Wallace and Steven know one another :P
Btw I like better her name in the Japanese games. Wonder why they didn't keep her name as Lucia for the international versions :(.

I wonder if we will be able to do contest over WiFi. I think it would be pretty neat and give the peop who don't like battling as much something to do(I am /not/ one of these people)
And to be honest, they seem to be working pretty hard on contest maybe the x and y sequels will get contest

Oh, it will be wonderful if we can get some contests going on over Wi-Fi indeed! There can be like, contest competitions and such! And I'm really impressed with the 3D contest stage and the ability to Mega-evolve during the contest appeals; things are set to be quite wonderful and beautiful with these mechanics, and graphics!

I do hope that they'll take contest battles a step further and allow moves to be more visually appealing if you combine them with other moves, like the pledge moves you'd get from BW, in which, I think two sets of moves in a double battle can create a rainbow, or something like that?

I think that'd be great to see. :3

DPP had contests through local wireless so I see something like that returning. Actually irc you could use link cable/wireless adapter to do contests with friends in RSE.
Also I doubt they'll be in Z/X2Y2/X0Y0. GF has done a lot of work in past features for them to not return in the next installment. The next time we'll probably see contests will be in DP remakes (assuming they are indeed made, and the Gen VII pair doesn't have them)

Wow, Wi-Fi contests would be so awesome. Especially if we could compete with friends! I can imagine all the fun events that would come from that. :] I can't wait any longer omg.

Hopefully it'll be online Wi-Fi if the did that, instead of Local Wi-Fi like how DPP's were. Then we could host an awesome Contest event on this site (maybe for a Get Together, or a ORAS special event) :3

...Why did I never think of the possibility of doing contests with friends via Wi-Fi? And to think I considered it being possible with Berry Blending, orz Being able to do contests with friends online would be extremely fun! Maybe they could also have something similar to Wonder Trade or Battle Spot where you can do contests with random people (which sort of reminds me of Wi-Fi Square in PtHGSS, haha). Same deal with Berry Blending, where you can do it with friends or with strangers online.

I would like that. It'll be similar to the random battles of Gen V (and the current battles against non-friend players online).

I still fear the possibility of rage quits occurring in Contests' online Wi-Fi. It's bad enough that traditional online battles have their fair share.

Funny you should say that, because I found this showing Lucia's relation with Clemont.

Oh right, I forgot about those. Maybe they will keep it local then, as you'll likely be next to person who rage quits in that case xD.

It took me a while to notice Lucia's name got changed in the English version to Lisia. I don't get what that name has to do with contests but I actually liked her Japanese name better in my opinion.

And it looks like our trainer is still Entry No.4 in every contest, just like in the originals. Pretty cool to see the participants revealed by their picture appearing on the screen now as opposed to just walking out when they are announced.

However, I don't think we can wear any costume other than the Rock Star (for Brendan) or Pop Star (for May) based on what I've seen.

Oh, and for those who are questioned if they are keeping the "jamming" feature the originals' Hoenn contests had or changing to Sinnoh's format, there's some good news for who preferred the former after seeing this:

Damn, it has been so long since I last played a Hoenn game. I totally lost touch with how the actual contest works. (Those black hearts and stuff)

GF made some subtle changes to the naming. I remembered it was 'beauty', not 'beautiful'. Not complaining though.
And yes, I remember Yato's post saying that it's now "clever" instead of "smart".

It was really surprising Smart got renamed Clever since I felt like the names were perfect as they were, but apparently Smart was called Clever in the Japanese version so it is interesting they are going along the Japanese naming route with the Contests this time around.

The ranks are still left as Normal, Super, Hyper and Master. While Super and Hyper weren't Poke Ball types in English, they were what the Great and Ultra Balls were called respectively in Japanese.

It'll depend on what I have on hand. I do recall that I had my Treecko take part in the first contest (Cool) I had in Sapphire. So I may go with Treekco/Grovyle.

I'm excited for the return of contests! I wonder how they would be different from the past contests of Hoenn or even the Super Contests of Sinnoh. Essentially, contests were pretty much the only fun I can remember having in the post-game of Ruby and Sapphire.

It seems to be essentially the same as the originals.

Also the ability to communicate with friends returns: "First, using communication features, you can play together with your friends." (source: Official ORAS site)

I can't recall the first Pokemon I entered in the originals, but I have a prized Roselia in Ruby who was my only Pokemon to ever win a Master Rank Contest. It was the Beauty category in her case, even though her moveset wasn't well designed for it yet she still somehow won by luck. Prior to her success, I didn't even know what the empty paintings in the Lilycove Museum were for, but it turns out it's for Master Rank Contest winners so I can't wait to see that museum in OR/AS given how beautiful Hoenn looks in the 3D.

I am kinda pissed they followed the Hoenn Contest format and kept the black hearts aka "jamming" instead of following the Sinnoh Contests' format. The jamming was the one thing I hated about Hoenn's Contests because it made the whole thing into a "luck-based mission" such as hoping you don't become too nervous to move or hope the opponents don't deduct too many points from you.

Irc the "Too Nervous to Move" was due to the moves of the preceding Pokemon, such them using disable.

I think I will probably just pick a random Pokemon on my team which has a lot of moves in any category in order to compete, haha. I eventually want to recreate my Beauty and Cool Contest allstars, my Blaziken and Milotic! But I don't plan to use any of those Pokemon the first time around, so they'll have to wait.

That is what I did for most of the contests after my first. (actually only reason I picked Treekco for my first contest was due to it having the most cool move at the time). I may recreate Ruby's team from the manga for contests (but I'll need to trade over a Swampert first)...

Yeah I knew that obviously, but it does get annoying when you're the one disabled that turn.

It does, but one can get around it by making the best of the Pokeblocks and performing the best they can during that first turn, maybe even Disable those after.
