Along with the art of Pokemon Contests, my Pokemon and I have learned along the way the arts of masking your emotions, detecting sabotage among many other tactics that slip by under people's noses all the time.
That little fairy tale they tell newcomers about friendship and making people happy, I'll redpill you now and say it's a much more darker and fierce ring in there.
The contests are all about coming out on top. It's our job to achieve the titles of power for not just your Pokemon but yourself. You need to show that you have authority in this world. So in a way, you're right. You are making people happy, but its you and your Pokemon only. You watch out for your own.
This ideal has been around for centuries in the art of Showcasing and Contests. People are so desperate to achieve glory that many don't make the cut. They fall behind like a Rapidash breaking its leg last minute in the race.
You know that story about the Performer in Celadon who "mysteriously" started hurling on stage? Sabotage. Or in Nimbasa of how the sandbags "accidentally" fell on one of the performers? A plan was behind that.
Lisia? She was getting to cocky. This would lead to her downfall sooner or later so I had to teach her a lesson and knock her down a few levels.
You need to be level headed in this game. You don't keep your head straight? Corruption. Some girls as so desperate for the win they sleep with the hosts to ensure the victory. Pathetic.
Watch your back. This game will only level up in difficulty for you.
If you're lucky there are some Tripokalons in Hoenn, you have to watch closely though cause spots fill up fast.
I hope my word of advice taught you some new tips on Pokemon Contests!
