The '''Kanto Grand Festival''' (Japanese: '''カントーグランドフェスティバル''' ''Kanto Grand Festival'') is an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive event during the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. All [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s who earn five {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]]s from the [[Kanto]] region are eligible to enter.


The winner of the Kanto Grand Festival gets the [[Ribbon Cup]] as their prize.
The competition is held at [[Indigo Plateau]], which is also the location of the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].

The Kanto Grand Festival started in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'' and ended in ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]''. Like all [[Kanto]] [[Pokémon Contest]]s, [[Lilian Meridian]] is the announcer. During the Grand Festival, 270 participants were entered.
Apart from the usual panel of judges, made of [[Raoul Contesta]], [[Mr. Sukizo]] and a [[Nurse Joy]], the host of the [[Hoenn]] region Contests, [[Vivian Meridian]], was also a guest judge, while three other [[Nurse Joy]]s gave the scores. [[Jessie|Jessadia]], who was Jessie in disguise, also hosted the Grand Festival with [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]]. Jessadia had [[James]], {{MTR}} and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} as her crew.
The winner of the Kanto Grand Festival receives the [[Ribbon Cup]] as their prize and becomes {{DL|Grand Festival|Top Coordinator}}.
==Rounds==
==Rounds==
Each round is judged by a panel of five individuals. They include [[Contesta]], [[Sukizo]] and three [[Nurse Joy]]s from the Kanto region.
===Appeals===
====Appeals====
The [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the Kanto Grand Festival is divided in two rounds. In the preliminary round, {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s have to display their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s style and skill using only one [[move]], while in the main round they are allowed to use as many moves as necessary to show off their Pokémon.
Just like ordinary contests, the first round is the appeals stage. Coordinators have their Pokémon perform various [[move]]s in order to impress the judges. The top scoring coordinators from this round move on to the next stage.
 
====Double-battle rounds====
Due to the large number of contestants, the preliminary round takes place on two separate stadiums. In one of them, [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]], [[Mr. Sukizo]], one [[Nurse Joy]], and [[Vivian Meridian|Vivian]] are responsible for evaluating the performances, while [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]] gives a running commentary. In the other stadium, three Nurse Joy assign scores to the competing Coordinators, and [[Jessie|Jessedia]] serves as the [[Contest announcer|emcee]].
The next rounds show how skilled coordinators and their Pokémon are when put into battle. Whoever loses is out of the tournament, and the winner keeps going until he or she gets to the final round. The winner of the final round is then declared the winner of the Hoenn Grand Festival.
===Participants===
The following individuals participated in both the appeals stage and double-battle rounds:
* [[Harley]] of [[Slateport City]] (Top 16)
* {{an|May}} of [[Petalburg City]] (Top 4)
* [[Drew]] of [[LaRousse City]] (Top 8)


The following individuals have won the Kanto Grand Festival:
The scores given by the trio of Nurse Joy are then conferred by Mr. Contesta and the other judges. After that, they determine the 64 Coordinators who will proceed to the main round. The main round is held in a single stadium, with the trio of Nurse Joy no longer acting as judges and Jessedia interviewing the remaining Coordinators backstage.
* [[Solidad]] of [[Pewter City]]
 
The 16 top scoring Coordinators from the main round move on to the Battle Stage.
 
===Battles===
The [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] of the Kanto Grand Festival consists of four rounds and maintains the same panel of judges from the main round of the Performance Stage. All of the battles are conducted in the [[Double Battle]] style and the contestants are randomly matched-up by a computer up until the semifinals.
 
Coordinators must face each other in a five-minute match while displaying their Pokémon's best qualities. Contestants who have their points completely depleted, their Pokémon [[Fainting|knocked out]], or the least amount of points once the time runs out are eliminated from the competition. The winner of the last round receives the [[Ribbon Cup]] and is counted among the {{DL|Grand Festival|Top Coordinator}}s.
