So once again, it's Valentine's Day, a day believed by many people to contain romantic overtones as well as love and affection, which is then celebrated. I'll believe that, as much as I believe in love and affection, and the celebration of those things. Of course, as I mentioned last year (see below), love and affection are universal, even in the world of Pokémon. One Pokémon in particular is even so emblematic of love, particularly of its shape, and that Pokémon would be Luvdisc.
The Pokémon is so unique that it deserves a special address. According to its lore, the name is such because its connection with couples in love, particularly seafaring ones. That connection is so elegant and so romantic - it totally befits its plainly pink body and its sleek curves. It's also in connection to a sometimes sought-after Pokémon item: the Heart Scale, an item that is exchanged to enable Pokémon to recall moves of yore. Only hearts are appropriate for a Pokémon which is tied to everything about it, including love. May that ever be the case for the lovable Luvdisc.
Appropriate to its qualities, Pokémon Go addresses this today in a special way: in celebration of its entry as well as of the rest of the third generation in general, Luvdisc are appearing in swarms - more than usual, and in many places. I've been fortunate to encounter a few of them, as do my friends. Love and affection seems to be present all over with the appearance of the Luvdisc; it makes me want to capture as many of them as possible, at least until I have to pass the love (read: transfer them) to the Professor. Everyone gets the love today.
Luvdisc with love and affection are things that go hand in hand. Both of them allude to hearts after all, in a physical manner for the former and in a perceptive manner for the latter. And that's something to be appreciated by anyone; we ought to have hearts filled with love and affection, and to cherish that any time of year.
Still, it doesn't hurt to have a day that commemorates that. Happy Valentine's Day.
One year ago: It's Valentine's Day!
