The series in general REALLY needs to bring back Contests
After Contests were dropped from the games, the Anime writers had simply no idea what to do with the Companions.
Plus who the heck doesn't miss seeing scenes like this???
Contests do have a battle round, though, so it's not like they consist of just "showing off moves" (I'd argue that that descriptor fits Performances far better). Besides, even if Contests really was just "showing off moves" that'd still give something concrete for Ash's companions to do as opposed to the next to nothing they've been getting. Personally I'd like it if we had another companion with the goal of mastering a certain type, since that has only been done twice and the results were mixed at best. I would like to see a type specialty goal done right for once.I actually prefer battles to Contests. I prefer action to just showing off moves.

True. But I still prefer non-Contest battles. It's just a matter of taste.I don't understand how you can see Contests as just showing off moves. Yeah, showing off the beauty of moves and making combinations is a big part of Contests, but it isn't like there aren't any battles in Contests. That was kind of the point of May's first defeat. Contest battles are still ultimately battles. It doesn't matter how much you polish your moves to get through the appeal round. If you can't battle, then you aren't going to get far in a Contest. It's fine to prefer more traditional battles, but Contest have plenty of action in them to. They aren't just flashy displays of moves with no skills or substance behind them. That would be more along the lines of Showcases than Contests.

Battles won’t disappear if they start doing contests, you know that, right? + the points other people mentioned. Ironically ever since contests disappeared female companions have battled less and less, and the second protagonist's goal has to be separated from battles as much as possible in JN to contrast him from Ash, so I don’t exactly realise what your point is.True. But I still prefer non-Contest battles. It's just a matter of taste.

What would you think their arc should be?I don't think we need more contests now which already get perfect send off with DP, all the female protagonist from games are doing contests only in anime except Lyra.
It would be best if other female companion in anime had different arc in my opinion.
Not everything need to be related to some kind of competitions, Iris dragon master goal was pretty good but BW bad writing didn't let it fleshed out properly, or they could do something like Lillie who was overcoming her PTSD and later slowly becoming a better trainer, but than again fans who mostly wanted to see Pokegirl in battles won't like that.What would you think their arc should be?
Even I must admit I come to a blank when it comes to what the girl's goals should be. It's probably why Chloe doesn't have one now.

It's really hard to top May and Dawn for best written pokegirls.
