Been a couple threads on this lately, so testing the waters to see if a Ribbon collecting thread is viable on /vp/

Fuck this.
Anyway, on my own Ribbon mon, just started the Battle Tower in Gen 3. Heres hoping that I can make it through this one.
Looks like a poor time to start this was picked. Bank is pretty much the major focus.
>>31519753
Yeah, seeing that
Took a break from my current streak to get in on the Bank goodness, but I haven't lost yet.
Reminder Game Freak doesn't care about us and left an error in Sun & Moon.
3 sets into my battle tower streak. Hopefully I can maintain this and get that Ribbon.
>>31521560
Maybe if enough attention is brought to GF, they can fix it in Stars/hypothetical Sinnoh remake.
>>31521560
what's the error?
Here's my team and their ribbon collections. Haven't started collecting in Sun yet, I've gotta replay the game first.
The battle royale is bullshit. That's all I have to contribute right now.
I lost my win streak in Super Doubles 33 battles in. How the fuck am I supposed to get the Expert Battler Ribbon with bullshit coming at me this quickly?
>>31521672
Error is the guy has all the contest ribbons from Hoenn and Sinnoh, but the game thinks he doesn't have all of them, making it not gold (100%) anymore.
>>31521747
Go figure ten minutes later I get lucky and clear that shit. Now for the real challenge
>>31521837
>making it not gold (100%) anymore.
I wasn't aware there was a gold thing?

Do triples and use this strategy.
After battle 49, back out and replace the latter three (or less) with Pokémon that need the Expert Battler ribbon. Fight the Chatelaine like that.
>>31521887
If you get all the ribbons from every contest category in gen 3+4, when it transfers over to gen 6 and up, the ribbons combine into 1 ribbon that is gold if you have them all, and not if you're missing even one.
>>31521912
I can probably AR some of those mons since I have no time to breed, but I don't have the right resources for making a battle ready Talonflame+Greninja from scratch.

>and apparently the Contest Memory Ribbon is bugged too
Yikes, Ribbonfags really have it rough this time around, huh? I guess it isn't at the same level as Gen V's attempt to hide Ribbons, but this is just sad.
And my streak was broken. I really wish I had better options in Gen 3.
Now I have to start all over again...
>>31521660
>Stars/hypothetical Sinnoh remake
Keep telling yourself that anon
>>31522359
Hey. we're getting something else as part of Gen 7. GF is't gonna go 3 years with only one main Pokemon game release.
>>31522375
Yes they can, they did it for 3 generations, we don't need an inmediate third gen 7 game nor remakes of the fourth.
Turns out it really helps to have a competitively viable Ribbon mon (Scizor). Would have lost hard on the Battle Royal otherwise. Fuck that shit. If you hate it like I do and you're having problems, try cheesing it with a Swords Dance/Explosion Life Orb Silvally; usually that helps you get a good point lead early on.
Also, anyone else disappointed that the Contest Star ribbon doesn't have any in-battle effect in SM?
>>31522299
Hang in there anon, you can do it!
>>31522391
It's been said earlier on that the Contest Star ribbon's effect doesn't transfer over
>>31522385
>they did it for 3 generations
>Gen 1: RG, B, Y
>3 releases
>Gen 2: GS, C
>2 releases
>Gen 3: RS, FRLG, E
>3 releases
>Gen 4: DP, Pt, HGSS
>3 releases
>Gen 5: BW, BW2
>2 releases
>Gen 6: XY, ORAS
>2 releases
So, which 3 times did a generation only have a single release?
Finally my boys can go to alola
i just updated my bank,first thing im doing is getting that alola champion ribbon for my infernape and my pikachu
Also i can't believe that the starter infernape i got as a kid years ago is now going to be perfect thanks to bottle caps
And my pikachu from leaf green is finally going to learn volt tackle
>>31522444
That's correct. Game Freak really phoned it in this time, didn't they?
>>31522460
If the Pokestar Studios effect didn't transfer, why did you ever assume this one would, especially with ribbons existing again?
I've always wondered how many ribbons you could get on one of these fuckers legitimately, not counting event ribbons (those were a thing right?).
>>31522450
> M-M-M-MUH PATTERNS!!
Stop fapping to insane trannies ok?

Hey, how many wins was it to get the ribbon in Gen 3 Tower again?
>>31523148
50 wins I believe

Gona be quite a while then.
Welp, getting to bed now. I'll get back to that tomorrow.
