6th Gen Minigames!

I pray for Pokémon Contests to make a comeback with Wi-Fi compatibility. It was something I enjoyed doing in the games when I wasn't around crushing gym leaders or beating up bad guys and their Zubats. With the new 3DS enhancements, I think they can at least attempt to make contests similar to the anime's style and turn it into something gold. Or at least that's been something I've always dreamed of happening since RSE first came out and we saw what contests were like in the anime.

As long as we don't see the return of Pokémon Musicals or anything similar to it, I'll be content. I agree with you when you say the musicals were just a waste of time and space. I honestly thought, "Is this the best they could have come up with?" when I first tried my hands at a musical in Black and White.
 
I hope that maybe different cities could host different events, then we could have contests, pokeathlons, musicals, studios, and what ever else GF has up their sleeve xD
 
The musicals didn't do much for me, since there's nothing especially competitive about them. Beyond trying to fit the theme, there's no real strategy involved, and as noted, the novelty of dressing up a pokemon wears thin pretty quickly.

The Pokeathlon was pretty good. It's interesting, and there's at least some strategy to the events, but with a few exceptions, they're more about testing my skill than the pokemon's. They're essentially minigames that just happen to include pokemon.

The RSE contests were my favorites. In my Emerald, I've got a separate box for contest pokemon, who have been bred and trained and pokeblocked, and have specific movesets, for specific contests. It was fun learning a whole new set of strategies for the contests, and I like that it's the same basic concept as pokemon battling at heart, but with different uses for the moves and new strategies. I'd definitely like to see something like that in the next gen.

I would love this. When I watched the anime, I vastly preferred the Contests to the Gym battles. Personally, I find it to be a shame they were removed from the plotline in Best Wishes (they have been, right? I haven't watched BW in a while so I wouldn't know, but I don't recall Ash/Iris/Cilian being into Contests).
 
I'd like to see something entirely different in the new Generation. I'd like to see something like being able to do some sort of missions where you'll control the Pokémon and do attacks in real-time using the + control pad and moving around with the circle pad, it would be so much like how the anime worked and all that, but with the exception of capturing the bad guys and such.

This would be completely different from Contests, PokéAthlon, Musical and PokéStar Studios.
 
Merging threads. ~

I would like contests ala RSE to return. I quite enjoyed those and they were better than DPPt's. Pokeathlon was fun too but I don't see that coming back. I would think we would get something new entirely... I just hope it's not something like the musicals.

And yeah, Game Corner is not coming back given all the issues it has (game ratings say gambling is BAD FOR THE CHILDREN, anti gambling laws in Europe covering this, etc).
 
Hey, what about in-game Contests (not just simply 'pokemon co-ordinator contests), like say, the Bug Catching Contest? I'd love for that to make a return!

Or, or! What about some sort of fishing contest! Yeaaaah I've been wanting to show those fisherman a thing or two; they've always been like, "you beat me in a battle? oh yeah? well, well, I CAN BEAT YOU IN FISHING!" And I've been always like, 'challenge accepted!' but, technically... I can't. So yeah, I really hope for a fishing contest. n___n
