Originating in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], Pokémon coordinating is based on showing off Pokémon in visually impressive ways. It also refers to the act of {{DL|Pokémon training|raising Pokémon}} particularly for {{pkmn|Contest}}s, rather than for regular {{pkmn|battle}}s. As a result, it provides {{pkmn|Trainer}}s with an alternative to the [[Badge]]-collecting quest, giving them a different look at the many charms of Pokémon, as well as a distinct method for interacting with them. Trainers who focus in this area are called Coordinators. | |||
Pokémon Coordinators typically concern themselves with the outward appearances of their Pokémon. Because of this, they tend to give them special, [[Contest condition|condition]]-enhancing treats made out of {{Berries}} that keep them looking good.

Because of this, they tend to give them special, [[Contest condition|condition]]-enhancing treats made out of {{Berries}} that keep them looking good. They also concentrate on the [[move]]sets of their Pokémon, teaching them [[appeal]]ing, attention-grabbing attacks that can be easily [[Contest combination|combined]] to grant them additional points when used in Contests. Like Trainers, Coordinators are also responsible for their Pokémon's overall health and well-being. | ||
In all forms of Pokémon media, a Coordinator's [[Pokémon journey]] is focused on gathering a certain number of Contest [[Ribbon]]s by competing in regional Pokémon Contests. In order to earn a Ribbon, they must compete against other Coordinators in different rounds of judging. A [[Contest Pass]] is usually required for entering Contests. Additionally, in the [[Sinnoh]] region, Coordinators generally wear formal attire or costume to compete. | In all forms of Pokémon media, a Coordinator's [[Pokémon journey]] is focused on gathering a certain number of Contest [[Ribbon]]s by competing in regional Pokémon Contests.
