Contests

This is just a thread to just discuss contests in general. Do you like them,hate them, something to improve,to take away? This is just a discussion of the AG and D/P contests.

BY CONTESTS I MEAN THE ONES WITH THE RIBBONS. So no random tournements that are called "Contests" in the Original one.

THIS IS NOT A MAY MISTY DAWN DEBATE!!

You can just reference them for a certain episode but thats it.
 
I like them, cuts back on filler and gives the female character something to do. I find them entertaining to watch, just as good as Gym Battles.
 
I love them.
I skip gym battle episodes or just episodes where people are just battling. ughh, honestly, I watch the show for the characters and interaction between each other. The battling is just boring imo. D: Always the same.

But contests. They have all the drama and great characters, and interaction. And yeah. I enjoy them. :] I'll actually watch them, ah.

Alright! 8D

Anyways, I love contests. Gym Battles don't seem very interesting to me but that's mainly because all my favorite characters are coordinators. Contests are a nice alternative to regular battling (it's also included in contests, although slightly different) and so I think to draw more fans in, it's wise to have them.
 
I really grew to love Contests. They're just fun to watch; with all the creative ways to battle minus brute strength and such. My personal favorite is the giant Swift combo Ambipom used on Lila's Delcatty-it was just so awesome and yet so pretty at the same time. Kudos to the creators for coming up with them. =) Plus, they're great ways to give a main girl character development, whether it be a major loss or a win. As I said, I'm glad they're part of the show.
 
Since i started this thread, i say Contests are a really great addition to the pokemon anime. The gym battles were awesome and still are, but they grow old if you see them day after day after day.

Contests are a great way of the writers saying "Hey we got good ideas!"
 
From how I see it, Pokémon Contests are going down in the popularity meter and so the Pokemon company introduced a new sort of gameplay to replace it, the "Pokéthlon" as its called. I'm guessing that they're going to make a new category of Trainers that focus on raising their Pokémon for Pokéthlon purposes. Which is a real shame since Pokémon Contests are truly quite enjoyable, it was fun making Poffins/Pokéblocks with friends, then dressing up your Pokemon in cool or humiliating ways and showing off your colourful array of moves, I hope they continue to keep Pokémon Contests in every new Badge-collecting game they release, or at least make a game that's mainly revolved around Pokémon Contests.

I feel like entering in a contest now. =[
 
I say you should be able to chose if you want to be coordinator or normal. But anyways, they better keep contests!
 
Interesting concept ruined by the abuse of Ice Beam and rainbows.

The Pokéthlon in no way means they are losing popularity. They are just trying to add new ideas to the series.

And we're in the anime thread, so we're talking about contests in the anime, and the Pokéthlon is not in the anime yet.
 
^ *absolutley DIED of laughterat Machete*

I have to agree with Machete, though. While I did enjoy Buneary's appeal in the uh...Ursula contest, I'm getting really bored of Ice appeals. Come on, I wanna see Mamoswine show off it's Ground-type moves, plzandthankyu. D:
 
I'd say their okay, I like them better than gym battles that's for sure. They could improve it up a bit, I'm not sure how, but they could make it better.

Seriously!I want to see Pachurisu more.
 
I really like the addition of contests. As soneone stated already, it helps keep pointless episodes from cluttering the long regions these days so they don't suffer like Johto did. In my opinion, the Kanto Battle Frontier had some of the best contests battles of the Advanced Generation since it had some memerable battles such as May vs. Drew and May vs. Ash. Personally, I like the contests in Sinnoh more than the contests in Hoenn out of preference. Pokémon contests also introduced some of the my favorite characters on the show such as Harley and Soledad. I also like that they help give characters like Jessie something to do other than wasting their potential.
 
Would be cool if Ash did more contests. He seems to have a talent for them. If he could get past the " treating it like a Gym battle" he may win a ribbon or two. Just something for him to do instead of waiting like 20 episodes for his next gym match.

He seems to incorporate Contest moves in his Gym battles, so why not have him try a few more Contests?
 
I actually prefer if Ash only did contests but lost. Because well, that would be ironic if Ash takes away Dawns ribbon.Not to mention the contest and dawn fans would just go crazy.
