'''Raoul Contesta''' (Japanese: '''コンテスタ''' ''Contesta''), often referred to as '''Mr. Contesta''', is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is the Chief of the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]] and, along with [[Mr. Sukizo]] and [[Nurse Joy]], one of the [[Contest Judge|judges]] of [[Pokémon Contest]]s. He first appeared in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. | |||

===History=== | |||
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''==== | |||
[[File:Contest Judges anime.png|thumb|left|220px|Mr. Contesta with his fellow judges]] | |||
Raoul Contesta debuted in a non-speaking appearance in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. At the start of the {{ci|Rustboro}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, the [[Contest announcer|announcer]] introduced him as the Director of the Contest Committee. During the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], he was less than pleased to see [[Jessie|Mademoiselle Jessica]] failing to show off the [[Move|attacks]] of her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. As a result, he gave her a zero for her performance. | |||
''' | In ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew!]]'', Mr. Contesta was impressed by [[Drew]]'s performance in the {{ci|Slateport}} Contest, saying he and his {{TP|Drew|Roselia}} had made great use of the entire stage. He also commended {{ho|Robert}}'s appeal, as he felt that {{p|Milotic}}'s use of {{m|Safeguard}} was awe-inspiring. In ''[[AG051|Come What May!]]'', he got up from his chair showing indignation and disqualified a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] Jessie for cheating, urging her to leave the [[Contest Hall]] immediately. At the end of the episode, he congratulated {{an|May}} for her victory and gave her the {{to|Fallarbor}} [[Ribbon]]. | ||
In ''[[AG078|Cruisin' for a Losin']]'', Mr. Contesta―along with his fellow judges―ruled {{DL|Fainting|Battle Off}} for [[May's Bulbasaur]] during her match against [[Savannah]]'s {{p|Lairon}} in the [[Rubello Town]] Pokémon Contest. When May said she wasn't done fighting, he assisted [[Nurse Joy]] in addressing May's lack of concern for the well-being of her Pokémon, saying that a Pokémon's health must be the number one priority of a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}, not winning. | |||
In ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]'', Contesta | [[File:Raoul Contesta unimpressed.png|thumb|220px|Mr. Contesta disappointed with a Coordinator's presentation]] | ||
In ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]'', Mr. Contesta was seen inspecting the damage done to the [[Ribbon Cup]] by [[May's Munchlax]]. After listening to May's apologies, he said the Ribbon Cup should never have broken so easily and realized that the one on display was actually a fake. Having no Ribbon Cup to reward the winner and no time to make another, Mr. Contesta considered canceling the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. However, [[Officer Jenny]] pointed out that the thief who had stolen the Ribbon Cup couldn't have escaped as they were in the middle of the ocean. With help from {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, she was able to find Brodie and retrieve the Ribbon Cup. After that, a grateful Mr. Contesta said the [[Grand Festival]] could go on as planned. | |||
==Voice actors== | In ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'', Mr. Contesta was unimpressed by [[May's Skitty]]'s performance in the main Appeals Round of the Hoenn Grand Festival. He commented that, by repeatedly using {{m|Assist}}, May was displaying the skills of {{cat|May's Pokémon|her other Pokémon}} rather than Skitty's talents. Despite that, the score he and the other judges gave May was enough to place her among the 32 Coordinators moving on to the [[Contest Battle]]s. | ||
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''==== | |||
In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'', Mr. Contesta appeared on [[Marian]]'s [[television]] show, during which Marian asked him about his opinion on the current circuit. Mr. Contesta praised {{si|Kenny}}, who earlier on the show had been revealed to have won the {{to|Sage}} [[Ribbon]]. | |||
===Character=== | |||
Ever since the [[Rustboro City]] [[Pokémon Contest]], Raoul Contesta has been seen judging every Pokémon Contest and related competitions, including the [[Grand Festival]] tournaments of [[Hoenn]], [[Kanto]], and [[Sinnoh]], as well as the {{pkmn|world}}wide [[Wallace Cup]]. He is the Chief of the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]] and the man behind the Pokémon Contests. As the Head Judge, Mr. Contesta is known to be fair but firm. He is usually the first one to comment on the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and the one who offers advice to the {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s. He is also the one who presents the winning Coordinator with the prize [[Ribbon]]. | |||
