>>26713201You're not alone, anon. I too prefer DP Contests over the AG ones.
AG Contests have some nice things, and by the time May was traveling though Kanto the appeals were way better than those we saw in Hoenn, despite the overuse of Squirtle and its Ice Beam attack.
In DP the Contest Battles really feel like they are something completely distinct, totally different and set apart from Gym Battles. You can see the artistry behind the combinations, even f they're a little unrealistic sometimes.
>>26714216You and me both. Dawn's Contests were excellent, she grew so much. I really miss Contests, wish the writers would bring them back for Alola.
