The '''Sinnoh Grand Festival''' is an | The '''Sinnoh Grand Festival''' (Japanese: '''シンオウグランドフェスティバル''' ''Sinnoh 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 [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] are eligible to enter. | ||
In ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', Zoey mentioned that the Sinnoh Grand Festival | In ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', [[Zoey]] mentioned that the Sinnoh Grand Festival would follow the [[Double Performance]] format. In ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', [[Marian]] announced that the competition would be held on the shores of [[Lake Valor]]. During the event, Coordinators stayed at the [[Hotel Grand Lake|Lakeside Resort]]. | ||
The Grand Festival | ==Competition== | ||
The Sinnoh Grand Festival began in ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'' and ended in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]''. Like all [[Sinnoh]] [[Pokémon Contest]]s, [[Marian]] was the [[Contest announcer|announcer]]. During {{an|Dawn}}'s participation in the event, 108 {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s were entered. For the tournament, she and her [[rival]]s wore new costumes. | |||
Before the start of the competition, a welcoming party is held where Coordinators can interact with one another. {{si|Rhonda}} from ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'' provides live coverage of the party, interviewing attendants about their expectations for the event. | |||
==Coordinators who | Instead of the usual [[Contest Judge|panel of judges]], the Sinnoh Grand Festival has six judges in attendance: [[Raoul Contesta]], [[Mr. Sukizo]], [[Lilycove City]]'s [[Nurse Joy]], her sisters from [[Pastoria City]] and [[Jubilife City]], and special guest judge [[Fantina]]. The Nurse Joy from Pastoria and Jubilife only judge the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]]. | ||
The winner of the competition receives the [[Ribbon Cup]] and the title of [[Top Coordinator]]. | |||
==Rounds== | |||
* [[ | Unlike the Grand Festival tournaments taking place in [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]], the Sinnoh Grand Festival has just one round reserved for [[Appeal|performances]] instead of two. The competition is held under the [[Double Performance]] rule, which means that {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s must use two Pokémon in all rounds. | ||
===Appeals=== | |||
[[File:SGF appeal stage.png|thumb|250px|The Red, Green, and Blue stages]] | |||
Due to the large number of participants, the Performance Stage of the Sinnoh Grand Festival takes place in three different stages; the Red Stage, the Green Stage, and the Blue Stage. Each stage has two [[Contest Judge]]s in charge of evaluating the performances delivered by the Coordinators, with the Red Stage being judged by [[Fantina]] and the [[Nurse Joy]] from [[Jubilife City]], the Green Stage by [[Mr. Sukizo]] and the Nurse Joy from [[Pastoria City]], and the Blue Stage by [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]] and the Nurse Joy from [[Lilycove City]]. | |||
Amid the three stages there is a rounded platform from where [[Marian]] fulfills her announcing duties. The stages can be modified to suit the needs of a Coordinator. For instance, when [[Zoey]] performed with her {{TP|Zoey|Gastrodon}} and {{p|Lumineon}}, the Blue Stage opened up to reveal a pool for the two {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to use. Each Coordinator performs on one of the three stages. Once all participants have performed, the 32 top-scoring Coordinators progress to the second round. | |||
===Battles=== | |||
There is one day of rest between the first and second rounds. The second round marks the beginning of the Grand Festival's [[Contest Battle]]s with some changes to the layout. The 32 Coordinators are divided in four blocks of eight contestants each, and the winner of each block advances to the semifinals. | |||
Unlike the Performance Stage, in which three Coordinators simultaneously deliver a performance in separate stages, all matches are conducted on a single battlefield. Also, the amount of judges is reduced from six to four. All Coordinators are matched-up randomly by a computer up to the semifinals. Coordinators who run out of points, have the judges rule {{DL|Fainting|Battle Off}} for their Pokémon, or have the least amount of points once time runs out are eliminated from the Grand Festival. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
* This is the first major regional tournament where at least two main characters participated. | |||
* This is the only [[Grand Festival]] tournament that is four episodes long instead of the usual three episodes. | |||
* The names of the three stages of the Performance Stage are the same as that of the three original {{pkmn|games}}, {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{v2|Blue| (Japanese)}}. | |||
