The Super contest is for YOU! To enter, you just need a pokemon, preferabally something with decent Contest stats. - What? The Super Contest consists of 3 parts, Visual, Dance, and Presentation. Points from each build up to make the final decision. - When? Any Time, after you reach Yosuga City, the seventh place you get to, but is the 5th gym. - Where? The Super contest takes place in a contest hall. This is located in between the entrances to the Pal walk place in Yosuga City, the fifth gym location. Also, this city has the Poffin case, Poffin bakery, and Pokemon Chapel, amongst other things. Mizuki, the person that developed the Pokemon box, lives here. If you somehow manage to miss the contest hall, Slap yourself. and again. NOTE: If you have ALL the ribbons, You can enter and participate in the "God" level contests at the Resort Area. Dont ask me about where what is in there. The Highest level Contests are HARD. - Why? When you get bored of endlessly forcing innocent little animals to battle one another and grinding levels, wearing them out and destroying their futures, you can start doing pokemon contests, another form of fun, utilising your skills of fashion sense, timing, and raw power. Contests are fun, as are making poffins, which you have to have to actually stand up against your opponents. Also, multi player Super Contest give you an edge, even if you DONT have those perfect EV trained complete ultimate demonic destructive godly invincible danceing shiny level 100 OmegaGigaUltimus's. Think about that. Even a Loser like YOU can be a WINNER! o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o II.

This is where the Losers will shine. Talking will make you save, and when everyones signed up, you can start your contest. Next to her is a screen with your contest history. to the right is your handy dandy all purpose computer. - Contest Clerk. This is the real deal. A full single player contest. you place your pokemon up for contest. When you enter the contest hall to do your dressup-> Dance-> Presentation deal, this clerk changes you into a Tuxedo/Dress. This supposedly makes you more "proper" even though your competitors are sometimes in like... bughunting gear. you may even face the 5th Gym leader in Super Contests. Sometimes your MOM appears in the higher ranks...Do not think about winning if you do. You should be happy if you turn up second or something. Note: Winning Contests give you more accessories for your Visual. - The Practice Clerk Practice makes perfect. after the Door to the hall, theres a clerk that takes you to practice. The First menu is Practice, Instructions, and cancel. In this Guide, Ill give a better instruction. Screw the 2nd option. the first is what your there for. The next menu shows Visual Practice, dance Practice, and Presentation Practice. The only one that will not allow you to pick what type of Contest practice is the Dance. The others will lead to a menu showing the 5 types of contests. You just do the thing, and you can kinda see your results if you know what your doing. after the practice, she asks if you want to try again. - The Display Corner This is where the display is. your Pokemon+Accessories in a Photo of your wins. thats all. Recording with your group will allow you to see them also. - The Lounge. You talk to people... and listen to the crap that they have to say. Basically useless. you cant even sit down.

Poffins o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o - What? Poffins are the equivalent of R/S/E Berry Blender Blocks. Poffin baking is much more fun, but same concepts apply. Do it wrong, level decreaces. type chosen by the type of berry. They now are kept in this Poffin case, and actually look edible. - Berries To determine what kind of stats the poffin will increase, look at the berries tag, the first option when sorting them in your bag. There have a Little graph and a bit of bio on them tags. This will help determine the type of poffin. The more of the certain type, the higher possioble level of poffin. - The Poffin Case The poffin case looks like a drawer, in the key items. They can hold up to a hundred, yep, a HUNDRED Poffin. where do you get such an Item that seems to be blessed with the power to cancel out the laws of space-time established by Diaruga and Parukia themselves? Well, this guy in a red cap is standing outside a building in the same town. Enter the building, and talk to the freak. HORRAY You now have a poffin BOX! It defies the Laws of Space-time. Use your imagination - Poffin Cookery. Left of the Friendly Shoppe. theres this Little house with a sign. Welcome to the poffin Bakery. In here, there are some people lounging, talk to them, and you might get the most amazingly powerful poffin ever made, approximately 45 minuites of Intensive poffin-ing and some good berries, luck, and you might be able to re-create this. Sometimes, theres a reporter looking for interveiws. Just answer randomly. you will eventually get rewarded MAJORLY. The woman by the little device that looks like its meant to grind up a Yonoirs brains is the person you talk ot to make poffins - How To Poffin Step 1: Get a berry you intend to use Step 2: Chose it when you are told to by the instructor. Step 3: Spin in the direction you are told to. HOWEVER, DO NOT SPIN TOO FAST. A General rule is that it should stay more than 3 millimeters away fromt the edge of the outer circle, but less than 8 Millimeters from the edge. This allows for minimum spills, minimum burns, and minimum time. all of which lead to a higher poffin level, thus equaling a higher stat raise, thus leading you to be a WINNER! Burns occur when you spin too slow, and Spills when you spin too fast. If you cannot hear the spill well, or the burn, slap yourself. NO I dont care if you still are sore from slapping yourself for not finding the contest hall, JUST DO IT. Spills are shown as material flying off the edge burns are when little black spots start to rise... The drag increases when the longer you cook your poffin, and so you need much more spin into spinning it. Take that into concent. When your done, there are 2 buttons. Top is CONTINUE, you need to put in a quarter(*LAUGHTER* OUT OF RESPECT) Or. Dont continue, bringing you back to REALITY. when the Poffin is in the last stage of cooking, you cannot spill. The more you spin, the faster the poffin cooks, and more points Step 4: Go to the poffin case, select the poffin, and then select the pokemon If you can read japanese OR can match up symbols, the second menu under status shows their favorite type of poffin in red. near the bottom. If there is a black sentance, then it eats anything. Feeding them their favorite type of poffin will increase happiness. Some Evolutions require happiness EG. Rioru->Rukario Step 5: ??????????????????????????????????????? Step 6: Profit! - Why you poffin You poffin for Contest stats, so you can actually stand up to those amazingly cool/brave/cute/whatever pokemon the computers have. Its not a necessity. Its a recommendation. - Multiplayer Poffin In Multiplayer Poffining, there are a few more rules. Although the drag goes up, more people can support this. Try to communicate on what berries you are putting in, as they determine the outcome of the poffin. for each more person, you get the same amount of Poffins(EG. 3 players, Level XX Poffin X3) The othe players stylus location is marked by a little dot. Red for player 1, Blue for 2, yellow for 3, and Green for 4. If you crash into each other, they can make up for 1/2 of a mistake. EG. Crash 4 times, you negate 2 spills. Also, If any two of you mix the same berry, the poffin will instantly be maxed at Level 2.(black poffin) o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o IV.

The Visual is the first step of the contest. You dress up your pokemon according to the theme, given if you can speak japanese, and 60 seconds. the typical amount of Accessories you can have at max is 5. The background can be changed with the second button in the bottom. the Bottom left is for changing different groups and the bottom right is END. Drag and drop, and PLEASE use good fashion sense. - Tips USE YOUR FASHION SENSE. The objective is to make the pokemon look appealing, NOT to make your friends gouge their eyes out. Sparkling powders, confetti, and the sort of stuff are really appealing and dont need much thought Use the Flag. Its aquired at the end of cycling path. Its really useful. As you increase in rank, the more accessories you can put on. - Accessory Case Of course, you cant get accessories without it, so lets go over it shall we? the accessory case has the same properties of defying Space-time contortium. It can hold an infinate number of accessories, and I think that your mom gives it to you when you first enter the contest hall(e-mail me if wrong. PLEASE) - Some good accessory locations Flag/pennet- End of Cycling path Starter Mask-TV Kotobuki, someone on 4th floor Confetti- Rare prize from Normal ranked o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o V.

The Dance is the second part of the Super Contest. for most times, you start off as 4th. The Accessories you have placed on your pokemon for Visual will re-appear on the pokemon when its the Lead dancer, or the one up front. the Touch screen becomes 4 buttons during the dance. each Pokemon gets 2 chances to be the lead dancer, and each time they do 3 moves. Your mission is to repeat the same moves with good timing. The Jigglypuff on the bottom of the top screen shows where the beat is. timing is crucial if you want points. You only have once chance, so dont blow it. The lead pokemons actions are color-coded, and are the same as the buttons on the touch screen. - Tips The first beat of the 2nd measure(large bar) gives a double boost to points. use it. If you do a action off the lines, even if your the lead, you get less points Practice makes perfect. - Neat tricks to pull off on friends Y=Yellow button, G=Green Button, B=Blue Button, and R=RED BUTTON OF DOOM! Y makes your pokemon bump right G Bumps the pokemon Down B makes your pokemon hop left and R bumps the pokemon up. NOTE: R can be used on Gamefaqs to bump up a topic also! Since the music goes at 5/4 time, in English: COMPLETELY SCREWED UP! and runs for 4 measures, this trick guide will have 20 slots. and 17 of which will be O's. This means DO NOTHING. Y means hit the yellow button, G means Green, blue is Blue, and R means Red. THIS IS ONLY FOR WHEN YOU ARE LEAD DANCING! If you are not, just follow the bottom of the top screen, there will be a little circle with the moves your supposed to do. - 000000000B0000BR000 - 000BRG0000000000000 - 000000000Y00GR00000 - 0B0000RG00000000000 With these tricks, youll find your friends wailing in frustration. They require good timing to get though. NOTE: As you increase in rank, the more moves you can do. o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o VI.

Your moves give you a score 2. If your move is the type of the contest, the judge gets "Voltage" 3. If your move is the OPPOSITE Types(2 types), the judge loses Volatge 4. If the Voltage hits 5 for one judge, the Pokemon that made the Voltage Hit 5 gets 5 Points, in the form of hearts 5. A Red Heart Indicates 1 point, Pink indicates 2, and Dark Red Means 3. If you get more than that(More than 15 points in ONE TURN) Then E-Mail me and let me call you HAXXOR! 6. You present to one of 3 Judges. 7. If only 1 pokemon presents to a specific judge, then they get +3 at end of turn, if 2 pokemon present to 1 judge, they both get +2. If 3 pokemon present to one judge, they all get +1. If all 4 present to one judge, none get bonus points. 8. If you cant read japanese, just practice to find out which moves are what o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o VII.
