  • Pokemon Ribbons are a thing that pretty much everyone has earned at least once in a Pokemon game. But what does it take to get all of them? Today we're going to find out how many ribbons a single Pokemon can have. If you like the video, share it with a friend! If you have suggestions for challenges you want to see me do, leave a comment below. Have a great day :)

      Hey Johnstone, I made the "hall of fame" spreadsheet for the ribbonmaster subreddit and it'd be very cool if you'd add your forretress to it!

    Honestly, this is weirdly wholesome. Like, this Pokemon used to be a Shadow Pokemon, and now it’s a champion in every region, a master of contests, a master of battling, and it’s an extremely accomplished pokemon in every way. Which is super awesome.

      It's a good read if you guys are interested. I've known Ribbon Masters to take as short as a month, and as long as multiple years. It just depends on how long you have to spend on it and how much of the setup you have to do. Once you do one Ribbon Master, it's much easier to go through it with other Pokemon.

    I love Pokémon Contests! They have more depth than a lot of people give them credit for. They can be difficult, and fun. Gen 4 did well with contests, expanding on what was already established. I will say that the contests that ORAS has are much worse and too easy compared to gen 3 and gen 4. I hope that the gen 4 remakes do justice to how fun contests can be.

      I loved gen 4 contests as a kid. I loved playing dress up games, so dressing up my pokémon was so fun. While gen 4 is probably my least favourite gen, if they implement contests with the dressing up portion again, that’ll probably be my incentive to buy it.
      PS: it was annoying to see people complain about no gen 4 remakes when Pokémon was on the 3ds. Now that it’s on the Switch it’s a sure thing, but you could have just played the originals on the same system they’d have been remade on!
