Should contests return

It's a long shot but do you guys sorta miss the whole coordinator battles in between gym matches. It's not as exciting but it was something pretty flashy to look at it. I know in the games bianca no longer cares to much about batting after half way through the plot and cilan has the personality to do it if motivated enough. So do you think they should have few contest subplots in the series, nothing to big like going to the festival(not sure if there is one).

-This can be moved to general once biance episodes is aired or right away if the moderators think its alright
 
I made a similar topic, and I can tell you the mods like locking these kind of threads.

I am impartial if there are contests or not, I just prefer more meaningful stories than situational gags. And I believe its up to the game creators to have contests return. By general standards, Musicals are atrocious in the game. They might try to create something more similar to contests in future games.
 
*sigh*

Teshub, I thought we've established this already. Mods lock threads about Contests returning just because they bring up arguments about May, Dawn, and who's the better Coordinator. No good can come from this thread.
 
Good riddance. Now I can live in peace and don´t have to look around the corner for another episode with another contest where there are another battle with ice slides, ice balls or any other move with ice.
 
Even If contest were in Unova it probably would have at least one triple battle but too bad it won't happen in Unova.

I don't care if they return or not unless the writers are bringing back an older character like Dawn.

They did bring back Brock back one time, but he never had that prominent role in the first place. Well they say there is always darkness before dawn.
 
They should only return if Dawn is doing them, at least then they feel more 3Dimentional and we have Mary-Sue....I mean May constantly winning.

No. Musicials should be done instead. We already had enough Contests.

What would be the point of it after one episode though, you basically have a couple of pokemon dressing and dancing on a stage, not somethign i want to watch multiple times
 
If Contest come back then I want Dawn perfoming them in Hoenn if there's a new arc in this region.
 
I don't think we'll ever see them again in the anime. All the DP coordinators other than Dawn never became popular.

I wouldn't be surprised if the reason so many contests in DP were only 1 part because they didn't want to spend much time on them anymore. It was pretty obvious they were going to be axed after DP.
 
I didn't like the contests that much.

That's not the reason they stopped doing them.

It's quite possible. They put Contests in Kanto when they weren't in FR/LG.

The musicals could have easily been adapted with a battle round, the dancing would replace the appeals.

The whole contest storyline was likely scrapped because everyone was too wrapped up in Ash/Paul's rivalry and the whole Dawn/zoey rivalry never had much fanfare in comparison, hence why the writers figured nobody would care if Dawn ever beat Zoey before she left.
 
Contest were put in Kanto so May had something to do. They weren't going to just leave her out to rot. Contest were axed because the games axed them.
 
I'll say no now, and leave my stance by no until proven otherwise.
 
Musicals could have had a battle round in the anime which would make it the same.

It seems like there is not much interest in the DP coordinators from most fans, we're only 32 eps in BW and I don't see anyone begging for a Zoey or Kenny comeback. Likewise Dawn's special just turned out to be a filler plot with a rehashed evo thrown in.
