Pokemon Contests

why can't contests be turned into more like the anime where you can do combo moves and create dazzling effects of awesomeness

The combo moves would work to an extent. the customizaton of effect patterns would take an enourmous amount of coding, but if its limited to what the games gave us, then its not really worth it.

still would be awesome lol also have the ball capsules effect the contest in some way

The ball Capsules would be much easier.

Well, don't expect contests in any near future.
1) Just planning a uniqe way of judging and the way rounds would look, and move combinations would teake a whole lot of work.
2) Not to mention awfully time-consumming sprite makeing, arcsessory designening, stage designeing,... A whole lot of work for PU team.
3) How much would you acually play them?! Well, most of the trainers would probably nibble on first few ranks, but reare ones will go all the way to the super rank.

Face it, contests would probably be super-full the first few weeks, but after a while they would probably fall out, wich would be waste, thinking PU team would have to put a whole lot of work in them...

personally i would definetly partispate in every rank with a set team built just for contest

also there are those who would do both story line and contest or just one or the other it would be up to them

but in the end it is up to the pu team if it is ever added to the game but im saying that im all for it

Well, I think the main reason the contests in the games aren't like the ones in the anime is that, from a programmer's perspective, the creators of the game must predict every single combination of moves that a player would ever use. After inputting every single combination of moves, they would also need to prepare animations for them all. And I think we all agree that it wouldn't be any fun if we couldn't see what we just achieved.

Short Answer: Not the way you would liek contests
Long Answer: Due to the fact that Developers cant fully Predict what the User wants, Contests in games will always be less than anime-quality/style. Not to mention, it would take most likely months of coding to even get close...

So, maybe, just not to the extent that we want. Whether it will be better than any contest in games Thus far....We shall see.
