Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions: Difference between revisions

Ruby and Sapphire are the first in the series to offer a secondary means of interacting with Pokémon, in the form of Pokémon Contests. In contests the goal is to show off the abilities of a Pokémon in the various categories ([[Beauty Contest|Beauty]], [[Cool Contest|Cool]], [[Cute Contest|Cute]], [[Smart Contest|Smart]] and [[Tough Contest|Tough]]) after winning a contest in a certain certain category the player and Pokémon advance to the next rank in that category (Normal, Super, Hyper, and Master). This also brought about the first confectionery goods that could be made by the player and fed to their Pokémon, [[Pokéblock]]s.  

These games are also the first to offer [[Ribbon]]s to the player's Pokémon for achieving various goals, or to commemorate special events in the game, including winning in Pokémon contests, beating the champion, and maxing out the EVs of a Pokémon.
