>>58418989Ribbon Master challenges are cool, but imo they overshadow the importance of getting one really rare or exclusive ribbon on a Pokemon in favor of just getting them all for the sake of getting them all. I would rather have my whole collection of Shadow Pokemon with the National Ribbon over one shadow Pokemon with other ribbons I won't feel like using because I have the Earth Ribbon.
In the future I really hope they reintroduce ribbons that require you to do unique things again. The various ribbons they've introduced from gen 7 onwards are very generic and it feels like they really should be some sort of achievement system, like winning 50 raid battles with one Pokemon as an example. The marks they introduced in gen 9 are actually a good start to this where they just randomly show up on a Pokemon if you meet some criteria.
