- Hello there, TRAINER! It’s so great to see you. Can you believe this year is already coming to a close?
- It’s almost as if Pokémon in the wild can feel it, too. A few seem to be appearing in greater numbers than usual!
- Strangely enough, the Pokémon appearing more frequently at the moment seem to be the same as those that did so previously throughout this year.
- Seeing all these Abra, Rhyhorn, and Piplup in the wild is making me a bit nostalgic. We’ve had quite a year, haven’t we?
- As you venture out to catch these Pokémon, I think it might be nice to reminisce on some of the highlights from this year and how much you’ve grown as a Pokémon Trainer along the way.
- Who knows—you might even surprise yourself!
- Great job catching all those Abra, Rhyhorn, and Piplup, Trainer.
- As you were doing that, I was busy thinking about all we’ve accomplished together this year.
- We discovered the secrets of trade Evolution and met a vast variety of Pokémon originally discovered in the Unova region.
- We even encountered Legendary Pokémon like Tornadus, Thundurus, Reshiram, Zekrom, Landorus, and Kyurem!
- Then there were the Pokémon originally discovered in the Galar region. I was particularly excited to see Galarian Ponyta, Galarian Rapidash, and Sirfetch’d!
- Oh! And who could forget the mysterious appearance of Mega-Evolved Pokémon?
- Hard to believe we fit all that into one year, eh, TRAINER?
- Anyway, I’ve rambled on long enough. It’s time for you to get back out there and catch some more Pokémon!
- Ah—Weedle, Gastly, and Seedot. The stars of some memorable days this past year! I still get a bit jumpy at the sight of acorns. Haha!
- Gastly gave us a bit of a fright as well. Remember?
- OOOooooOOOoooo... BOO! Haha, sorry—I couldn’t help it.
- You know, Gastly isn’t the only gaseous thing we saw in abundance this year.
- That’s right—I’m talking about Team GO Rocket taking to the sky in balloons! An almost cartoonish mode of transportation, and yet surprisingly effective.
- You know, if the members of Team GO Rocket weren’t so devoted to villainy, their assets and energy would likely make them great allies.
- I hope that world comes to be someday.
- Ah, pardon my wistfulness. I tend to get more and more pensive as the day wears on. Does that happen to you as well?
- Perhaps you can ponder that while you go out and catch more Pokémon, TRAINER!
- It’s certainly been an interesting year, hasn’t it, TRAINER? I can’t remember another one like it, and I’ve seen a few!
- But despite all the ways it’s challenged us, I can’t help but think that it’ll make future experiences feel even more precious and special.
- After all, no matter what happens, we’re all on this Pokémon journey together—every Trainer, regardless of where they are in the world.
- That’s truly something special.
- So when the going gets tough, remember that you’re not in this alone. And while bad days are inevitable, I like to think they make the good ones that much sweeter.
- I hope today has been one of the good ones for you!
- The world is ever changing, TRAINER. What doesn’t change, however, is the fact that we have each other and our Pokémon.
- And as the mysterious world of Pokémon continues to grow, so do we—as Trainers, as a community, and as people.
- So here’s to a year for the books—and many more exciting ones to come!
