Idk if different outfit is enough evidence for it being retcon.
But if it is t that would be great. Contest retcon look like another diet contest just like showcases. They really can't just give Serena regular contest huh
It seems they really don’t want to let her battle.

Pokemon Contests have always emphasized performance and showcasing the beauty of a Pokemon. Even the battle component emphasizes the performance aspect.

This whole "X is retconned cause we see something happen differently" is just bs. This is no different than people started complaining about AG being retconned just because of a single snapshot with the transformation missing.

We also see Pokemon leagues switching up the rules and having different kinds of battles. Like in the Johto League and I think even the Hoenn League, we see stadium changes. We also see certain format changes, qualification round changes, etc across different tournaments. So maybe contests have adapted the showcase aspect as well and feature the same now?
