... Right.
Anyways, I have some news. We (That is to say, I) have decided how contests are going to work. First, there will be twelve contest halls in total. But you only need five ribbons to get to the Grand Festival. In addition, both the winner and the runner up will recieve a ribbon, but come on, who here wants to go to the Grand Festival with a bunch second place ribbons? XD In addition, contest form will be like in the anime. They will be divided into two rounds. The first rond will be the appeals round. You will be on your own with one pokemon, during which time you will use whatever moves and combinations you think will be cool looking. After everyone has done that, the judge will pick eight of you to move on to round two. Round two is a battle styled appeals round. Here, instead of competeing to knock out your opponent, you have to showcase your own combinations against a living breathing opponent. As the two of you compete to see what is the coolest, but most effective combinations and moves, the judge will tally up style points and at the end of the battle, whoever has the most points moves on. The loser is eliminated. This goes on until there are only two left, who will then follow the same rules as before. Understand?
