[[File:Generation VII Ribbons concept art.png|thumb|300px|Concept art of the Alola Champion Ribbon and the Battle Tree Ribbons, introduced in Generation VII]]

The following is a '''list of [[Ribbon]]s that appear in the [[Pokémon games]]'''. There are 115 Ribbons total, with 32 originating from [[Generation III]], 48 from [[Generation IV]], nine from [[Generation V]], 16 from [[Generation VI]], four from [[Generation VII]], five from [[Generation VIII]] and three from [[Generation IX]].

A Ribbon you collected somewhere long ago. It's packed with memories of contests!{{sup/8|BDSP}}|9d=A commemorative Ribbon representing all of the Ribbons you collected for contests somewhere long ago.|other=Gold-colored version of the Ribbon above for a Pokémon with all 20 Contest Ribbons and all 20 Super Contest Ribbons. In Generation VII, due to a coding error, it instead appears for a Pokémon with at least one previous Contest Ribbon and at least 39 other preserved Ribbons, which is impossible to achieve under normal circumstances.<!--Even if a purified Shadow Pokémon collects all the Ribbons it can get going forward, it will still only have 36 total Ribbons during that generation.-->|image=Contest Memory Ribbon gold VIII|6l=Transfer from Generation V via [[Poké Transporter]] and [[Pokémon Bank]]|title=_____ the Treasured Memory}}

<!--These Ribbons are ordered based on the generation they were introduced, followed by their in-game placement.-->

===Hoenn Battle Tower Ribbons===

Choosing the option to retry a previous room for practice did not count, even if the player proceeded to win all seven battles. This Ribbon is no longer officially available after DS WFC servers shut down in 2014.}}

These Ribbons are obtained from the appropriate postgame battle facilities of their respective regions. Unlike previous Tower Ribbons, they are still preserved on their own and do not get collapsed into a Tower Memory Ribbon.

The Memorial Ribbons are awarded for various reasons in-game, some trivial and some requiring effort. All are retained if a Pokémon is transferred to a later generation, but most are also available in multiple generations.
