Is there a Smogon for mini-games (Contests, Pokéathlon, Musicals, and Movies)? Because in almost all games to become a Pokémon Master is mandatory complete this and some Pokémon like Diglett line and Ditto are useless on mini-games.

Well duh, they did originate in those games.
Be thankful they didn't go with the shitty gen 4 version though.

I dunno if there's a competitive contest scene, since I think it has to be ad-hoc, since there's no online mode.

There's surprisingly a lot of depth despite the casualization.

I can't wait. I am currently doing an Emerald playthrough to get to the Battle Frontier so I can clone my Milotic before I move it forward.
If course I will need to do Gen 4 and 5 and blahblahblah, first.

Eh, I wouldn't say the casualized this iteration of contests.
Also Cosplaychu isn't an instant win.

You don't have to painstakingly grow the best berries and carefully plan what to feed your pokemon, now you can cram em full of shitty block and max out EVERYTHING.

Okay one, the process of making blocks doesn't affect the actual contests.
Two you still need maxed/high stats unless you're playing the first two ranks.

Basically they made it easier to access not easier to play.

What's a good contest moveset for Milotic? I have maxed beauty for it but its moves are shit, they only give 2 hearts max.

It's mostly knowing move effects, comboes, and timing.

I maxed the heart grid with the Sunny Day + Solar Beam combo with one star into Scintillating Inferno.

Dive and Surf chain into each other from either direction. You can also set up with Aqua Ring
and Mirror Coat when you move last in a turn.

Contests are much more complex than a first glance would suggest.
I feel that if they hadn't fucked up with them in gen 4 they would have become a staple in the series.

Mega is basically an insta win button, so the actual contests were pretty casualized too.

I'm still angry they completely removed the Pokeblock making minigame.

My Gallade with Calm Mind/Stored Power/Destiny Bond/(variable depending on contest) swept every level of every contest. It was almost disappointingly easy.

"Basically"? You mean "Literally". As in it's a literal button.

As long as we're being pedantic, it's literally a button, but not literally an instant-win button. "Basically" was the better word choice.

You've never played a gen 6 contest have you.
For starters you can only use it when you get the crowd going. So it's not an instant win button because you have to work for it.
Two the boost from having a mega is a small one over the usual and it doesn't decide the game.

I posted >>28095454, so yes, I have. But I can't really judge how much Mega-evolution really helped, because I was never really close to losing anyway.

NDS online services went down, so you'll never get the WiFi Battle Tower ribbon. How does it feel to be locked out of one ribbon forever? It'll even leave a stain in Gen VI when you get a non-gold Battle Memory ribbon that says you only got 7 ribbons instead of 8.

You mean pentagon? Don't fucking bother; Gen VII uses a plus sign now (that or it's a sign of hyper training) and the pentagon will be outdated. There's no reason not to import something from Gen V or earlier unless you want to play in official tournaments. A purified Shadow Pokémon will have a National Ribbon (and be a fateful encounter if it was from Gale of Darkness and not Colosseum) if you want to go maximum ribbon autism.

Then why bother raising Pokémon period? With the new "This Gen Only" system they have now, you're Pokémon will become immediately outdated and irrelevant as soon as a new Gen is announced. You might as well bite the bullring and go as far back as you can for ribbons in this case.
