IDK, as long as I can make my dream contest team on this RP then I will be happy either way; I just gotta know where they are located and have an encounter with them when I get there eventually.

I mean the RP would be fun for trainers who catch different types of pokemon but pokemon contests in the anime and games are made by what pokemon are "Cool, Cute, Beauty, Smart, Tough" contests.

So if Fantasia wants to win cute and beauty contests, she needs cute and beautiful pokemon that know cute and beautiful moves. In the games, your pokemon could be the ugliest thing ever and still win a cute contest because of the moves it knows. However, I know that we are doing Anime logic about pokemon looks being a factor to the contest types.

I can't just randomly run into a Rattata and enter it in a cute or cool contest.

For people who are doing contests as their primary goal, they are going after the best looking pokemon; not just any random pokemon.

Does that make sense?

Fantasia would be looking for cute pokemon like Cherrim or beauty pokemon like Amaura, its a waste of time if I run into other pokemon that I won't end up capturing.
