END OF SINNOH CONTEST RIBBONS

(Finally, the interesting ones.)

No. 21
Name: Footprint Ribbon
In-Game Description: A Ribbon awarded to a Pokemon deemed to have a
top-quality footprint.
How to Get: Go East of Pastoria City until you see the house on the
sand. The man in this house will "read" the footprint of
the lead Pokemon in your party. If your Pokemon trusts
you (ie. it has two small hearts on the happiness checker
app) then he will give that Pokemon this ribbon.
Additional Note: Even if your lead Pokemon doesn't trust you enough,
the footprint doctor will still "read" your
Pokemon's footprint. You just won't get the ribbon.

No. 22
Name: Effort Ribbon
In-Game Description: Ribbon awarded for being an exceptionally hard
worker.
How to Get: Talk to the woman on the left in Sunyshore Market, and
she will give this ribbon to the lead Pokemon in your
party if it has accumulated all 510 EVs.
How to Get in HG/SS: Same as in D/P/Pt, but the woman is in
Blackthorn City. She is in the house to the
north-east of the Pokemon Centre, on the right
side of the table. (The one on the left wants to
trade a Dodrio for a Dragonair.)
Additional Note: This ribbon can also be obtained in Hoenn, from a
woman in Slateport City Market. It counts as the
same ribbon - you can't get it once from Hoenn then
once more from Sinnoh.
2nd Additional Note: If you do not know what EVs are, see this FAQ:

say. Same goes for all the "emotion" ribbons
(ribbons no. 23 through 29).
2nd Additional Note: In HG/SS, a person giving out these ribbons
will appear on a certain route on each day of
the week. However, the first time you talk to
them, they will give you an item instead (and
you have to wait until next week for them to
give out the ribbon).

David Chen, the guy who provided me with the
information on the weekday ribbon-givers in
HG/SS, says this about the location of Wesley:

"When it's low tide, enter at hidden entrance
on the left side and go all the way to the end
of the maze-like area. When it's High tide,
he is near the Fish Guru's house."

at the Battle Tower.
How to Get: Win 20 battles in a row in the Single room at the battle
tower to battle Palmer. Beat him, and the three Pokemon
you used to win receive this ribbon.
Additional Note: For all the Battle Tower Ribbons, only the Pokemon
you're using at the time of completing the
requirements recieve this ribbon, even if you hadn't
used them before completing the streak; in this
case, if you use the same Pokemon for the first 14
battles then change them for battles 15-21, only
those you are currently using will recieve the
ribbon.
2nd Additional Note: The BT Ribbons are available in HG/SS also,
through the exact same methods.
No. 32
Name: Great Ability Ribbon

In-Game Description: A Ribbon awarded for defeating the Tower Tycoon
at the battle tower.
How to Get: This time, win 48 battles in a row in the Single room at
the battle tower to battle Palmer a second time. Beat him
(he's difficult!) and the three Pokemon you used recieve
this ribbon.

No. 33
Name: Double Ability Ribbon
In-Game Description: A Ribbon awarded for completing the Sinnoh
Battle Tower Double Challenge.
How to Get: Win 50 battles in a row in the Double room of the Battle
Tower. The four Pokemon you use when passing the 50-win
mark recieve this ribbon.

In-Game Description: A Ribbon awarded for completing the Sinnoh
Battle Tower Multi Challenge.

No. 35
Name: Pair Ability Ribbon

Battle Tower Multi Challenge with a friend.
How to Get: Win 50 Battles in a row in the Multi room of the Battle
Tower with a friend, either by local connection or Wi-Fi.
Both your and your friend's Pokemon will receive this
ribbon after passing the 50-win mark.

No. 36
Name: World Ability Ribbon
In-Game Description: A Ribbon awarded for completing the Sinnoh Wi-Fi
Battle Tower challenge.
How to Get: I haven't got this ribbon myself yet; I find the Wi-Fi
room of the Battle Tower very difficult. My friend
recieved this Ribbon but he says he doesn't know after
how many battles he recieved it. I would assume 50,
judging by the other Battle Tower Ribbons, but if I'm
wrong feel free to correct me. Or if I'm right, let me
know for sure.

EDIT: relkaw on the Platinum board confirmed that I was
wrong; you have to reach Rank 5 in the Wi-Fi room to get
this ribbon. It doesn't matter if you change your team,
as always. This is his description:

"You rank up every time you win 7 in a row and you rank
down every time you lose three sessions before getting to
the next rank. you don't have to win every single battle
up to the 35 battles to get to rank five. In other words,
you won't start at rank one if you lost a match when you
were rank 4. You have to lose three times in that rank
before you get ranked down, and even then you are only
ranked down one rank.



No. 37
Name: Gorgeous Ribbon
In-Game Description: An extraordinarily gorgeous and extravagant
Ribbon.
How to Get: Once you've got into the Resort Area Ribbon Club, you can
go to the man at the counter and he'll sell this to you
for 10,000 pokedollars.

No. 38
Name: Royal Ribbon
In-Game Description: An incredibly regal Ribbon with an air of
nobility.
How to Get: Talk to the same man you got the Gorgeous Ribbon from,
with a Pokemon with a Gorgeous Ribbon at the front of
your party. He'll offer to sell you this for 100,000
pokedollars.

No. 39
Name: Gorgeous Royal Ribbon
In-Game Description: A gorgeous and regal Ribbon that is the peak of
fabulous.
How to Get: Same guy as the Gorgeous and Royal Ribbons. Talk to him
with a Pokemon with the Royal Ribbon at the front of your
party, and he'll offer to sell you this for 999,999
pokedollars.
Additional Note: 999,999 POKEDOLLARS?! It's the Rolex of the Pokemon
World!

No. 40
Name: Classic Ribbon
In-Game Description: A commemorative Ribbon obtained in a Mystery
Zone.
How to Get: This Ribbon is automatically attached to most Event
Pokemon; Almia Darkrai, Movie11 Shaymin, TRU Manaphy etc.
It cannot be obtained any other way.
Additional Note: This Ribbon has three different descriptions. In
my EU Platinum, it gives the description shown
above. In my EU Diamond, it gives the description
"A commemorative ribbon obtained at a mystery
location." However, I am also aware it has the
description "A Ribbon that proclaims love for a
Pokemon." My assumption is that this is the
description given by NA D/P/Pt copies, however, this
is just my speculation; could someone who has the NA
version of Platinum confirm / deny this?

EDIT: A Mr Andrew Clapp emailed me on the 19th Sept,
telling me that he has NA Platinum and he gets the
"proclaims love" description on his game. Looks
like I was right, yay. =P
2nd Additional Note: Any Pokemon with this Ribbon cannot be traded on
the GTS.


---------------------------------------
4.2 HeartGold / SoulSilver Only Ribbons
---------------------------------------

With the release of HG/SS, some previously unobtainable ribbons
became obtainable. This may be the case for some more once there are
more events for these games.

No. 1
Name: Legend Ribbon
In-Game Description: A Ribbon awarded for setting a legendary record.
How to Get: Defeat Red in Mt. Silver, and all your party Pokemon will
be awarded this ribbon.

No. 2
Name: Premier Ribbon
In-Game Description: Special Holiday Ribbon
How to Get: There was a Wi-Fi event in Japan for a 10th Anniversary
Mew, and this Ribbon was attached to it. The event is
over now, although they may do still do a US event for
it.
So at the moment, if you see this Ribbon attached to any
Pokemon other than a Japanese Mew, that Pokemon is
hacked (or has been edited with a hacking device).
EDIT: As of 15/10/10, this event Mew has been released in
the US and Europe as well. English Mew holding the
Premier Ribbon can now be legitimately obtained.


------------------------
4.3 3rd Gen Only Ribbons
------------------------

Starting with the Hoenn Contest Ribbons; I've put END OF HOENN
CONTEST RIBBONS after these too, so ctrl+f that for easy skipping.
Also, I'm aware that the descriptions for these are different in the
GBA games (obviously, in R/S/E, they would not have had to put
"in Hoenn" after each description) but since this is a Pokemon
Platinum guide, I have put only the in-game descriptions that appear
in Platinum Version.

Name: Artist Ribbon
In-Game Description: Ribbon awarded for being chosen as a super
sketch model in Hoenn.
How to Get: BEFORE competing in any Master-rank contest, go to the
museum in Lilycove city and talk to the curator. Next,
go beat any Master-rank contest. There will be an artist
waiting for you when you come out of the contest. Answer
yes to his question, and he will put a sketch of your
Pokemon on the 2nd floor of the museum, and your Pokemon
will be awarded this ribbon. There can be five sketches
in the museum at any one time; one for each category.
Additional Note: Even if you already have a sketch of a Pokemon in

replace the sketch of the Pokemon in that category

will get the Artist Ribbon.
