'''Pokémon Contests''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンコンテスト''' ''Pokémon Contest'') are a type of competition often contrasted with [[Pokémon battle]]s and held in [[Contest Hall]]s. Pokémon are judged on their [[Contest condition|condition]] and [[move]]s in two rounds, to determine which one is the best of its category. | '''Pokémon Contests''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンコンテスト''' ''Pokémon Contest'') are a type of competition often contrasted with [[Pokémon battle]]s and held in [[Contest Hall]]s.

Pokémon Contests are in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and in their [[Generation VI]] [[remake]]s [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] under the name '''Pokémon Contest Spectaculars''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンコンテストライブ''' ''Pokémon Contest Live''). A {{pkmn|Coordinator}} enters a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in one of five [[Contest condition|categories]]: {{OBP|Cool|condition}}ness, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition}}ness, {{OBP|Clever|condition}}ness, or {{OBP|Tough|condition}}ness and compete against three other Coordinators in two rounds.

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, [[photography|photos]] can be taken at any point in a Contest Spectacular, and the player is able to save the last photo taken into the [[Nintendo 3DS]] Camera. In addition, the 3DS Camera can be used to provide a real-life background during the Talent Round of a Pokémon Contest. This option can be turned on or off by speaking to a man in the Contest Hall who describes this special effect as projecting a "hologram" through the entire hall. | |||

In the first round, the four Pokémon are rated based on their [[Contest condition|condition]]. The audience votes on the Pokémon that looks the coolest, most beautiful, cutest, most clever, or toughest, depending on the category of the contest. Condition stats that are liked by the audience and the Pokémon's overall luster also beneficially influence the votes. To raise a Pokémon's condition, Coordinators prepare [[Pokéblock]]s of specific colors and feed them to their Pokémon. In Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, how well a Pokémon does in this phase is shown by the number of hearts that appear over the audience members' heads. | |||
Within the game itself, the audience score is based on the sum of the following: | This portion is known as the '''Introduction Round''' (Japanese: '''おひろめ''' ''Unveiling'') in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. In these games, how well a Pokémon does in this phase is shown by the amount of clapping, whistling, and {{wp|glow stick}}s that appear in the audience. Additionally, a special introduction is shown for the Pokémon with the highest condition stat of the respective contest. | ||
Within the game itself, the audience score is based on the sum of the following: | |||
* The full value of the condition in the contest's primary condition stat | |||
* 50% of the value of the condition in each of the contest's secondary condition stats | |||
* 50% of the value of the Pokémon's overall luster | |||
[[Scarf|Scarves]] held by the Pokémon raise the condition stat by 20 points. Thus, if the Pokémon is holding a scarf corresponding to the contest's primary condition stat, it will gain 20 points in the final total, but if the Pokémon is holding a scarf corresponding to either contest's secondary condition stats, it will gain 10 points in the final total. | |||

Pokémon Contests were first introduced early on in the {{series|Advanced Generation}} and, according to [[SS024]], they originated in the [[Hoenn]] region. In them, {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s show how skilled their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can be. A Pokémon Contest is divided into two parts. In the first round, called the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]], Coordinators have their Pokémon performing their [[move]]s in order to showcase their style and skill. The appeals are awarded points by judges, usually [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]], [[Mr. Sukizo]], and the resident [[Nurse Joy]]. The Coordinators with the highest scores proceed to the next round. The number of Coordinators that advance to the second round varies. The second round is the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]], in which Coordinators compete in [[Pokémon battle]]s while continuing to show off their Pokémon's style and skill. Each battle lasts five minutes and the object of the battle is to decrease the opponent's points. Coordinators lose points when their Pokémon are hit by an attack, when their Pokémon's attack fails, when the opponent's Pokémon performs a particularly appealing move, or when the opponent's Pokémon uses their Pokémon's attack to its own advantage. A battle can also end when one of the Pokémon is [[fainting|unable to battle]], called Battle Off by the judges. In this case, the Coordinator with the remaining Pokémon is declared the winner. | Pokémon Contests were first introduced early on in the {{series|Advanced Generation}} and, according to [[SS024]], they originated in the [[Hoenn]] region.

A Coordinator needs a [[Contest Pass]] from a particular [[region]] to enter Pokémon Contests there. Coordinators who win five [[Ribbon]]s of a specific region are able to enter that region's [[Grand Festival]]. A Ribbon won from events such as the [[Wallace Cup]] can be used in ''any'' region. Also, Ribbons do not expire, and multiple years can be used to collect the five needed for the Grand Festival. However, after being used to enter a Grand Festival, the five cannot be used again.

In [[Sinnoh]], Coordinators enter one Pokémon for each round and generally dress up to compete. They also use [[Ball Capsule]]s and [[Seal]]s to enhance a Pokémon's entrance. Pokémon Contests in the Sinnoh region include both Single and [[Double Performance]]s, with the Grand Festival featuring the Double Performance format. The master of ceremonies for these events is [[Marian]]. During {{an|Dawn}}'s participation in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]], Top Coordinator and [[Gym Leader]] [[Fantina]] joined the judges as a guest judge. The event was held at [[Lake Valor]] and ran for [[DP174|four]] [[DP177|episodes]]. | In [[Sinnoh]], Coordinators enter one Pokémon for each round and generally dress up to compete.
