Welcome to Contest-of-the-Week! With the release of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire on the horizon, the attention of Pokémon fans everywhere turns to Hoenn, and all the cool and interesting Pokemon that live there.
Every week, we'll be looking at a few of the many Pokémon you'll meet along your journey through the Hoenn region, and asking for your opinions on them and how they stack up next to their counterparts or rival Pokemon looking to fill the same spot on your team.

Once you reach Petalburg city for the first time, your father sends you back into Route 102 to help Wally catch his first Pokemon. Luckily for him, the first Pokemon he finds is the rare Ralts, but there are other useful Pokemon on Route 102 that are well worth catching. Seedot and/or Lotad can be found there depending on the version you're playing, and either makes a great addition to your team if you didn't pick Treecko as your starter.
Both are part of a three stage line that reaches its final stage by evolution stone. The tengu Shiftry has mixed offensive stats and a plethora of boosting moves that let it use both physical and special moves effectively. The happy-go-lucky Ludicolo enjoys a balance between offense and defence and can also serve as your team's Water type and Surf user, which is convenient if you didn't pick Mudkip. Both Pokemon are built to capitalise on the weather, which is sun in Shiftry's case and rain for Ludicolo.
Which version exclusive Grass type do you prefer, and why?
-Which has the better design?
-Which one is easier to train?
-Which is more useful throughout the game?
-Which do you think will be better in ORAS?
-Which is more useful in the competitive environment?
-Is the presence or absence of one of these Pokemon a deciding factor in which version of ORAS you're going to buy?
Let the contest begin!
Next week: Swellow vs Pelipper
