1^st Part

Hello there, TRAINER! We’ve come to the end of the year once again...
And it looks like some familiar Pokémon from earlier this year are reappearing, too!
Do you think they’re here to celebrate the year’s end with us?
I hope you’ll take a moment to reflect on all the ways you’ve grown and the adventures we had these last 12 months.
We achieved the impossible, created legends, and discovered so much about ourselves! Which moment are you most proud of?

2^nd Part

Welcome back, TRAINER. Wow, just look at all the Pokémon you’ve caught! Up for another challenge?
Will you evolve a few of them for me? I’d say you’ve evolved plenty yourself, as a Trainer, this year. Especially after all that time with Hoopa.
What mischief it made this year—remember when it summoned all those Legendary Pokémon?
The bond between Trainer and Pokémon can change so much more than just a Pokémon’s appearance.
Just something to think about as you evolve your Pokémon today!

3^rd Part

With a new year just around the corner, I can’t help but look back. What can we learn from the histories of places, Pokémon, and our fellow Trainers?
That reminds me—have you heard about the strange door I found recently? I have a feeling we’re in for quite an adventure!
I wonder what mysteries hide behind that door. What can this relic tell us about the past—and our shared future...?
Sorry, where were we? Ah, yes! Be sure to catch lots of Pokémon, study how they evolve, and maybe work on improving your Poké Ball throws, too. Let’s end the year awash in new knowledge!

4^th Part

You’ve made it to the end, TRAINER! Here’s a reward for all your hard work. Consider it a token of my gratitude as well, for all you’ve done for me this year.
I look forward to our adventures together next year! Are you ready? Then let’s GO!
