"I guess they'll let anyone run contests these days," you're treated to the dulcet tones of one ADRIAN MALCOLM. "But hey now, don't let that deter you. We're getting ready to put on quite the show down here in Slateport," he begins rattling off on the details about a COOL CONTEST taking place in Slateport City in the upcoming weeks. A panel of judges will be scoring their candidates and host, Adrian Malcolm, over the course of SEVEN (7) rounds, including an introductory phase set to give the audience a closer look at their contenders for the title of COOLEST POKEMON![break][break]

The mechanics of the contest will function similarly to the core game's contest design. A move will need to be of the proper category in order to score appeal points, while moves from the incorrect categories will yield NO points (but may still startle contestants or other secondary effects). Players will ROLL with every post starting at the introduction to determine the round order (highest goes first, lowest last). Aside from the typical mechanical interactions, there will be certain bonuses awarded based on predetermined conditions if they are met.[break][break]

COOL CUSTOMER! - Though not actually an appeal modifier, participants need not purchase a new move set in order to participate. As long as the move is learnable within the pokemon's most recent iterations (disregarding LGPE,) they may be used freely within this thread only. You're welcome![break][break]

SCARS ARE COOL! - Pokemon that were wounded in battle during a previous event/(thread) and received a scar will receive a starting bonus during the introductory round based on their ability to substantiate the claim. (Links!)[break][break]

KEEP IT COOL! - Certain type moves yield one extra appeal point, regardless of the move's category. These types will not be revealed publicly, but the hint is in the title![break][break]

PLAY IT COOL! - Anything that makes your pokemon stand out can net you bonus appeal! This condition will be less specific in order to inspire a more creative element as contestants (OOCly) try to guess at and achieve them. Some are passive while others are not. If you'd like to see a good example, follow closely to your HOST for examples![break][break]

There can only be so many participants before things get out of hand, so try to hurry up and apply! After all, you'll want to be able to say you applied BEFORE IT WAS COOL!
