  • 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 :)

      What about the ribbon for cleansing shadow pokemon? Shouldn't your pokemon have that or did you not purify that specific one. I remember the shadow version of him in that game.

      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!
      docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vRZ9E6e28DnCOTiZdRcaa7xLsEe6vcWrEWmQlc_mYtOzmZ1jt-sGtILDC7nWRooZm115Xs6ohHw7i8C/pubhtml#
      Let me know if this is something that would interest you and I can send the form to get it added.

    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!

    -The challenge is actually called the Ribbon Master challenge
    -It's easier to go after the Battle Tower right after purifying
    -Wrong. Platinum doesn't have exclusive Ribbons. All Ribbon found in Platinum can be found in Diamond and Pearl.
    -The World Ability Ribbon doesn't require more than one player.
    -Technically if you are collecting the Leaf Crown you can also consider collecting the Pokeathlon Medals.
    -Collecting Ribbons in Gen 6 is a lot easier to do in ORAS. (excluding the Champion Ribbon found in X and Y)
    -You didn't recommend Bottle Caps as they are pretty useful.

      If you mean the online ribbon, @ 14:30 no it doesn't work like that.
      That part of the battle town connects to a (now dead) Nintendo server which pulls 7 teams of 3 from a pool of player made teams. If you beat the 7 teams it gives you the option up load your team to the pool. This means that you got to slog through 7 player made, OP, cheap as hell, chance boosted teams before you get a break and have to to do it again till you have beaten 50 teams I think it was total. Without a single loss.
      I think it may have been one of the most difficult things you can achieve in Pokemon PvE battling. I have the ribbon form years back, it was not easy.

    I actually loved the contests in gen IV. I have such fond memories of trying to win with my favourite pokemon, and dressing them up prettily

      same, genuinely kinda hurt that this was so disparaging of contests, imo an excellent part of pokemon games, good thing to do when you're sick of battling

    Looks like you cant collect all ribbons since forretress is not in SWSH

    Technically you can have more ribbons if you use an eevee and evolve it into sylveon.

    DUDE, what's tougher than a FORTRESS?

      Shuckle, apparently. A freaking Fortress is weaker than some random bug in a shell.
