Pokemon Contests

Pokemon Contests were a nice idea, but in practice they kind of sucked. Here are my ideas for including them in the next generation:

>Make them more like the anime - two rounds consisting of an appeal and a battle
>Battle is a straightforward fight-until-one-faints
>Appeal uses the 3DS touchscreen and you can combine attacks in different ways to create dazzling displays
>Pokemon Contests are in many of the towns across the region
>Like badges, you need to collect five/six ribbons in order to enter the Grand Festival - a final show-off against the best trainers in the land
>You can dress up your pokemon and use items/Berries to enhance your pokemon's look/sheen
>Multiplayer and online contest battles

I think it would be interesting to include things like Pokemon Contests and Pokethlon as 'alternative quests' for game players. Instead of merely focusing on beating the Pokemon Champion, you could compete in other events as well.

How would you revamp Pokemon Contests?
