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 tournament organized by the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]]. All [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s who have earned 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.
In ''[[AG175|Going for Choke!]]'', [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]] announced that the competition would be held at [[Indigo Plateau]], which is also the location of the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. During the competition, Coordinators are housed in a giant [[Pokémon Center]].

==Competition==
During the Grand Festival, which began in the episode ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'', 270 participants were entered. After the appeals round, the number of participants was reduced to 64 for the semifinals and to 16 for the quarter finals.

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]] serves as the [[Contest announcer|master of ceremonies]]. During May's participation in the event, 270 contestants were entered.


Apart from the usual panel of judges made of [[Raoul Contesta]], [[Mr. Sukizo]] and a Nurse Joy, the host of the Contests in [[Hoenn]], [[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.
Apart from the usual [[Contest Judge|panel of judges]], made of [[Raoul Contesta]], [[Mr. Sukizo]], and a [[Nurse Joy]], the host of the [[Hoenn]] Pokémon Contests, [[Vivian Meridian]], was invited to join in as a guest judge, while three other Nurse Joy gave scores. [[Jessie]], under the alias of Jessedia, also hosted the Grand Festival with Lilian. She had [[James]], {{MTR}}, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} as her crew.
 
The winner of the Kanto Grand Festival receives the title of [[Top Coordinator]] and the [[Ribbon Cup]]. After the competition, a party is held in honor of all of the contestants.


==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===
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. There were two rounds included for this. The first of which the coordinators had their Pokémon perform with only one move. The next round had the coordinators have their Pokémon use as many moves as necessary.  The top scoring coordinators from this round move on to the next stage.
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.
 
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 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.


===Double-battle rounds===
The 16 top scoring Coordinators from the main round move on to the Battle Stage.
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 Kanto Grand Festival.
 
===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 to the semifinals.
 
Coordinators must face each other in a five-minute match while displaying their Pokémon's best attributes. Contestants who have their points depleted or have the least amount of points once time runs out are eliminated from the competition. Coordinators will also lose a battle when the judges rule {{DL|Fainting|Battle Off}} for their Pokémon. The winner of the last round receives the [[Ribbon Cup]] and is counted among the [[Top Coordinator]]s.
