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 [[Pokémon 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 Pokémon Coordinators. | Originating in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], Pokémon coordinating is based on showing off Pokémon in visually impressive ways.

In some of the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]], {{player}}s may choose to focus on raising Pokémon for the exclusive purpose of doing well in contests, making them part-time Coordinators. In order to increase their chances of winning Ribbons, they have to maximize one particular condition of their Pokémon and prioritize the contest properties when selecting the moves they will teach them, since battle properties, such as [[power]] and [[accuracy]], have no effect in contests. | In some of the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]], {{player}}s may choose to focus on raising Pokémon for the exclusive purpose of doing well in contests, making them part-time Coordinators.

In the [[Pokémon anime]], Coordinators first appeared in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', with the introduction of [[Pokémon Contest]]s in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''. However, before that, many Trainers were seen raising their Pokémon to execute their attacks in an appealing way as well as teaching them how to battle in a stylish manner. In this [[canon]], Coordinators go on stage to present their Pokémon in two rounds, the Performance Stage and the Battle Stage. Because of this, they have to {{pkmn|training|train}} Pokémon for both [[appeal]]s and [[Contest Battle|battles]]. | In the [[Pokémon anime]], Coordinators first appeared in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', with the introduction of [[Pokémon Contest]]s in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''.

When they are entering a Pokémon Contest for the first time, Coordinators are given a regional [[Contest Pass]] and a Ribbon case. These items are also provided when Coordinators move to another region, since a Contest Pass can only be used to enter competitions held in the region in which it was originally obtained. Because their Pokémon have to make a good first impression right out of the [[Poké Ball]], Coordinators in [[Sinnoh]] are also supplied upon registration with a [[Ball Capsule]] and a few [[Seal]]s, which can be used to create a showy entrance. | When they are entering a Pokémon Contest for the first time, Coordinators are given a regional [[Contest Pass]] and a Ribbon case.
