Dressing and Dancing will stay and Acting will be replaced with BATTLING...
But instead of judging damage like in normal battles, moves should be judge from the criteria below:
- Using Cool moves in Beauty contest will cut the user's HP
(if moves are effective[by type, Fire/Ice etc...] to the foe, only 1/16 HP will be cut; 2/HP will be cut if moves are average; 4/HP if moves are not effective/not affected to the foe).
- Using the right move in the right category the user will not have their HP cut(even move is not effective to the foe) and will.
- Using combo moves will have the damage x2 on the next turn, example: First turn Quick Attack then Aerial Ace on the next turn. Means Aerial Ace's base power will have a x2 boost only after Quick Attack have been used. Only applies when participated the right category and used the right moves.
- Pokemon that have their catgory maximize will have their move STAB, example Swampert have its Beauty maximize then its Surf will gain a STAB. (another STAB as a Water-type. xD) Only applies when participated the right category and used the right moves.
- Weather will continue to boost moves but the rules above will still apply.
* Ribbons will be given at the end of Contest(assuming you won), after earning 5 Ribbons you get to battle the Frontier Brain and after you won, a trophy will be sent at home(similar to Hg/Ss, if you acheived lotta win streaks in Battle Towerm a trophy will be sent).
*They should have Contests in different cities/towns and each have different sets rules,
example: Restricting you which Pokemon can particapte or not,
Triple Battle, etc...
