Winning Pokemon are awarded ribbons, which are attached to the Pokemon.
In the anime, Contests are similarly split into two rounds: a Performance Stage and a Battle Stage.
Trainers who specialize in contests are called Coordinators, and need a contest pass to participate.
That meant Misty was often just hanging around with Ash, and not really progressing on her own journey.
When May was introduced, however, she was a novice trainer with little knowledge of anything.
She had to find a goal of her own, and soon found it in the form of Contests.
The same was more or less true for Dawn and Serena as well.
Turn Contests into multi-stage tournaments, like the anime did.
