[Guideline]: Contests; Appeals, Mystery Round, Themes, etc.

• Originating in the Hoenn region, Pokémon coordinating is based on showing off Pokémon in visually impressive ways. It also refers to the act of raising Pokémon particularly for Contests, rather than for regular battles. As a result, it provides Trainers with an alternative to the Badge-collecting quest, giving them a different look at the many charms of Pokémon, as well as a distinct method for interacting with them. Trainers who focus in this area are called Coordinators.

• Pokémon Coordinators typically concern themselves with the outward appearances of their Pokémon. Because of this, they tend to give them special, condition-enhancing treats made out of Berries that keep them looking good. They also concentrate on the move-sets of their Pokémon, teaching them appealing, attention-grabbing attacks that can be easily combined to grant them additional points when used in Contests. Like Trainers, Coordinators are also responsible for their Pokémon's overall health and well-being.

• In all forms of Pokémon media, a Coordinator's Pokémon journey is focused on gathering a certain number of Contest Ribbons by competing in regional Pokémon Contests. In order to earn a Ribbon, they must compete against other Coordinators in different rounds of judging. A Contest Pass is usually required for entering Contests. Additionally, in the Sinnoh region, Coordinators generally wear formal attire or costume to compete.

• In the Appeal Round, each contestant performs an appeal with their Pokémon to display for the judges. The type of appeal will be based on a theme presented before the contest begins. During the appeal, the Coordinator must display an appeal that perfectly captures the chosen theme. The three judges will then determine that contestant's score based on a scale of 10 points, for a total score out of 30 points. The top scoring competitors will move on to the second round, and the rest will be eliminated from the competition. The themes for the appeal round are: Beauty, Cute, Cool, Smart and Tough. It is the coordinator's job to perfectly capture the theme in their appeal in order to move on to the second round.

• Beauty - Demonstrate a beautiful display, full of elegance. Is the Pokémon graceful? Is it mesmerizing the audience?
• Cute - Demonstrate a cute performance; Is the Pokémon having fun? Is the Pokémon behaving cutely?
• Cool - Demonstrate a cool performance; Is it explosive? Does it "wow" the audience?
• Smart - Demonstrate a smart performance; Is there strategy involved? Does it make the audience think?
• Tough - Demonstrate a tough performance; Is it powerful? Is the Pokémon's strength being displayed?

• In the Mystery Round, the Roulette Mistress will spin the wheel to determine what event the contestants will be participating in. There are three possible events and they are: Singular Move Display, Specialized Tasks or a Battle Round.

• Singular Move Display - A new theme will be chosen for each Coordinator to perform an attack. Coordinators will use one attack to accurately depict the newly chosen theme.
• Specialized Tasks - Coordinators will participate in a chosen task and it is their job to depict the theme in whatever the new task may be. This might be a cooking round, dancing, puzzle solving, etc.
• Battle Round - This event is self-explanatory, but the participants will compete in battle utilizing either one or two Pokémon in a battle against another Coordinator. Simply KO'ing the enemy Pokémon will not be enough, as thinking smart and putting on a show is what matters here. Brute force is discouraged during this round, so the winner could have their Pokémon be knocked out and still win the round.
