The progression of the big Pokémon anniversary continues this month with a few twists. Those twists can be said to be creative, in that they are beyond the ordinary for what is expected for the things that are involved. They can also be said to be exciting, though this is practically a given with the anniversary happenings in general. Together, they constitute a kind of "creative excitement", which describes all the things related to the anniversary that I'm about to detail in this month's post.
By the anniversary web site, this month's featured region is the Sinnoh region. This region is both dynamic and enigmatic - with the major contributions to those two qualities being Mt. Coronet and the Distortion World - which explains the fascination that many have with it, and I am of no exception to some extent. Meanwhile, the region is about to receive its special treatments later this year and in the upcoming year, and that is definitely something that many people have awaited and are awaiting now. At least with this month, fans can take a small moment to celebrate this region before the big moment.
Speaking of big moments, another artist now has a big moment with the P25 Music program, and that artist would be Mabel, with a song titled "Take It Home". This is a rather bouncy tune by the female artist, and its music video has quite the Pokémon flourish with appearances of Pikachu and Jigglypuff, with the latter being slightly more dominant. As with other songs of the music program, it's best to discuss the song in a separate post to take in all the things that the song offers and delve into viewpoints.
A somewhat surprising food collaboration has also been announced with some of Nabisco's well-known snacks, with starter Pokémon appearing in packages containing packs of mini versions of those snacks. Grass-type Pokémon appear on the package for Chips Ahoy! cookies, Fire-type Pokémon appear on the package for Nilla wafers, and Water-type Pokémon appear on Oreo sandwich cookies. The selection may appear slightly forced, but they seem neat nonetheless for fans of these snacks.
Meanwhile, Pokémon has also collaborated with a maker of things that allow things to be "forced" together; UHU, a maker of adhesives (glue), has come out with a line of back-to-school products featuring Pokémon, including glue sticks with all kinds of featured Pokémon. Those who have creative juices flowing might not be able to resist the urge to stick things together, and they might be encouraged to obtain some of these.
Creativity is beneficial to things like Pokémon on both the back end for the development of all the things to be enjoyed and on the front end for fans who enjoy all those things and spur the development of other things. The Pokémon anniversary journey for this month seems to want to honor that creativity and bring it together with the excitement of a famous region, some bouncy music, snacks to bring about energy, and adhesives to hold things together. It should spur the creative excitement to continue even after the journey has passed.
