Contests?

Baton Passer

Bzzzzzzzzzzt!
When I saw Pokemon contests in my Ruby, I peed myself at the coolness of. However i was a younger trainer at the time, and couldn't grasp the strategy of contest acting, so i quickly deemed them as frivolus, and irellevant.

I now see them as such, so i wish to know, How do you see contests?
Fun?
Diverse?
A good option other than pokemon battles?

Discuss.
 
I think the pokeblocks/poffins are way too hard to mix. Other than that, I like contests, but I don't do them much because of that reason. And I never understood "smart" contests, because the only smart moves would be psychic ones.
 
I myself, didn't mind them in R/S/E; but when they "enhanced" them for D/P/PT I stopped liking them.
 
To me, they are pretty boring to play in the video games, and in the show they were also kind of boring to watch.
 
i think of it like a very boring part of the game since its changing the clasic pokemon battles to weird and no sense pokemon contest

Well, I enjoy contests, but I wish they were more like in the anime. You know, an appeal round and then several battles based on how good your attacks look.
 
I never found anything fun in them, it was battles or contest, and you got nothing with the contest so, I hated them
 
However i was a younger trainer at the time,

How did you get past the fourth wall?

Anyway, contests, PokéAthlon, it's all the same. Bland minigames that have no reason to exist. Gimme some more BF facilities instead.

That's just my opinion, though.
 
I think Contests are okay, but I'd like them more if they were more like the way they are in the show.
Being able to battle in Contests like they do in the show, would make it a lot better to me.
 
I see them as annoying minigames.

Yeah, agreed
 
If they were like in the show they'd be much better. I beat Master Rank in Beauty with my Ninetales in Emerald and Diamond. They made them a lot girlier in Diamond though.
 
I like them sometimes, but I hate it how difficult they are in D/P/P, now it's almost impossible for me for doing contests without a guide.... But still, I think it's a good break from the normal gameplay.
 
ya i mean the contests are an awesome break from the normal game but it does get annoying after a while
n they made it rele girly in D/P/P
 
The contests in RSE were nice, but the ones in DPPt were horrible.
 
DPPt's version of the contests don't really tickle me fancy. RSE is the bomb anyway, I like theirs.

EDIT: Rank up, and 100th post! About f**king time.
