Let's see on one and I have, tedious poffin making, dressing up my monsters to look as ridiculous as possible to meet some indefinable theme (while the computer uses the same design for every single theme and still gets hearts), losing in the acting section just because one of the opponents got all of the voltage up first, losing the whole contest just because I failed in the dress up competition, and some ribbons and a star on my trainer card as a reward.

On the other hand I have leveling up my monsters to make them be as fearsome and intimidating as possible so they can beat the crap out of other monsters, using an in depth system that demands actual strategy other than just raising one stat till it can't go any higher and hoping your move gets all the voltage, getting into the hall of fame and being recognized as the best of the best as a reward. Yea definitely gym battles.
 
I pick Gym battles. I prefer to collect the gym badges, then challenge the Elite 4 in Pokemon League.

For contests, I prefer the Hoenn one than the Sinnoh one. Hoenn Contests are OK, but Sinnoh Contests are terrible in my opinion. Dress-up is OK, but the dancing is really stupid for me.
 
In the anime, contests are infinitely more interesting than Gym battles because Gym battles are predictable to the point of ludicrousy. There's uniqueness in the moves, and only one (in rare cases, two) Pokemon are able to fight, and if you don't fight like you know what you're doing, you're boned.

I would do both Contests and Gyms if the Contests were much like the anime. Otherwise, I'd just do Gyms.
 
Gym battles all the way♪ theres just always a better feeling in battles, for me that is
 
I don't care about gym battle and collect 8 badge...I only like contest,appeal and collect 5 ribbon
 
I can do both. But I must have different Pokémon for the role
 
Gym battles are often pretty epic (especially the ones against Whitney) and good for story progress, while contests are just a mini game, a mini game i don't really like because i hate the dancing part. Actually the only good part of contests is in my opinion the third one, it requires at least some strategy...

Of course i'm talking about the games, since i don#t watch the anime.

500th post btw
 
I suck so hard at contests, haha! I have no patience for them, so I usually don't bother. Gyms for me!
 
Gym, I honestly can't stand Pokemon Contests.
 
I do contests,but I prefer gyms.
 
I like gyms because they have more action than contests.
