So this is the replacement for contests, huh? In all honesty I forgot this aspect of the game even existed and i'm not going to be trying it out until I quest most of Kanto. Has anyone else here actually BOTHERED with them though? It seems a bit more hands on than contests. Plus I hardly ever see anyone mention it... It can't be... THAT bad can it?!

It's not so AMG, but it's interesting if you're bored.
Quick reflexes is all I have to say. xD Fairly easy to win at if you're good with the stylus.

I noticed that in the Pokemon profiles they have little 5 star rankings(?) which seem almost corresponding to their actual stats. Does that have much bearing on how well you perform in the Pokeathlon games? Or is it changeable via poffins or whatever they're calling them these days? Pah, I really should just check it out myself shouldn't I?

They are fun once and a while. But its really really boring when you are trying to get the evolution stones. x.x
Btw Getting Honchkrow was SO worth it.

They're fun, but the prizes seem a little jacked up in terms of points. I'm still trying to figure out how to make good Aprishakes for my Pokemon...

Just stuff 'em with a lot of black apricorns since you can't go wrong with that, and a few which won't hurt the stats you want to increase in the Pokemon of your choice, i guess. And walk. A lot. The longer the better, so in a couple a' days you might have miracle juice or something. Personally, I actually enjoyed Pokeathlons more than I did contests though this may simply be because I find contests, uh....prissy...while Pokeathlons are either like Pokemon Olympics or a mini monster Royal Rumble, if you're in the Power course (which is F*cking awesome). All they needed to do was put two overweight match commentators, one with a black cowboy hat on a side, and a Spanish table to throw some unlucky ***** through, and I wouldn've died happy.

I myself like it as well but the hurdel jump is a pain in the butt. I still have a hard time with it.The power corse is awesome though.

A year on and i've still not really given these a try. I was thinking of doing a Nuzlocke on HGSS now that all my Pokemon from Generation IV are now safely tucked away in White. Perhaps if I do I can pay the Pokeathlon dome a bit more attention. ...At least if a Pokemon loses while sporting they don't fall under the die clause. ;D

No, I haven't had time for them, or even the games, myself.
