Johto Grand Festival

The Johto Grand Festival. All Pokémon Coordinators who earn five Contest Ribbons from the Johto region are eligible to enter.
==Competition==
The Johto Grand Festival started in...and ended in... During Yazmyne's Johto Grand Festival campaign, 164 participants were entered.
Instead of the usual three judges, the Johto Grand Festival has six judges in attendance: Summer, Mr. Sukizo, a special guest judge, and three Nurse Joys from across Johto. The three Nurse Joys only help judge during the appeal stages. During Yazmyne's Johto Grand Festival tour, the special guest Judge was Diantha, the Champion of the Kalos Region and a former Kalos Queen.
The winner of the competition receives the Johto Ribbon Cup as their prize and becomes a Johto Top Coordinator.
The tournament takes over the place over the course of seven days.
==Eligible Pokemon==
Trainers may only use up to six Pokemon during competition. Eligible Pokemon for competition include official Pokemon registered in the Kanto, Johto, Riau, Hoenn, and Sinnoh Pokedexes. Exceptions are made for any trainer's officially registered starter Pokemon.
Alola and Galar Forms are not permitted unless they are a trainer's starter Pokemon. Select Legendary Pokemon are not permitted. Z-Moves and Mega Evolution are not permitted.
==Rounds==
===Appeals===
Similar to most Grand Festivals, the Johto Grand Festival has two appeal stages. Due to the number of participants, the first stage of the Johto Grand Festival is divided into two days and is conducted between three stadiums.
The first appeal stage operates similar to a normal contest. Coordinators have their Pokémon use as many moves as necessary within 2 minutes. The Top 48 coordinators advance to the second appeal stage. A day of rest follows the end of the first appeal stage. 
The second appeal stage is akin to ordinary Johto Contest appeal stages. The Top 48 coordinators are divided into 3 groups of 16. Each coordinator must perform with a single Pokémon different from the one they used on the first appeal stage. Each coordinator has three minutes to perform. The top scoring member of each group advances to the Double Battle Rounds.
===Double-Battles===
The third stage marks the beginning of the Grand Festival's Contest Double Battle rounds and shows how skilled Coordinators and their Pokémon are when put into battle with four rounds. There is one day of rest between the second appeal stage and first day of the double battles rounds.
The battle rounds span two consecutive days of competition. The Top 16 and quarterfinals are held on the first day of battle and Day 6 of competition. The second day of battles features the semifinals in the morning and the finals in the afternoon. The closing ceremony is held immediately after the finals.
The 16 remaining Coordinators are matched-up randomly by computer up to the semi-finals, which is the last round that computer will choose a random match-up. Coordinators who run out of points, have their Pokémon knocked out, or have the least amount of points once the time ran out are eliminated from the Grand Festival. The Coordinator who wins all four of their battles is declared the winner of the tournament.
