Today's the last day of February, and by extension, being at the end of a 3-month period, it's also the last day of the Season of Heritage in Pokémon Go. Now, "heritage" speaks of many things from the past, whether throwbacks or retro elements, or even opulence or spirituality as I had suggested at the start of the season. Much has gone on since then, and each of the above have manifested themselves in different ways throughout this season, even for happenings beyond Pokémon Go, for which the latter might very well be able to be regarded as being reflected in the former.
Some Trainers in Pokémon Go will likely have been following the backstory of the events that have transpired over this season in addition to the events themselves, and the references that they make to past areas of the Pokémon world are quite welcome and make the season what it is. In addition, all the traditional celebrations over the past three months are themselves representative of "heritage" and rightfully deserve inclusion in Pokémon Go as well as other games for which they are appropriate.
Of those other games, Pokémon Unite stands out in this regard. It too had a Lunar New Year and Valentine's Day event, though I would consider them more subtle as they simply utilize simple gameplay progressions for rewards, and are therefore not as significant. For Pokémon Day, though, there is something more significant, and the impacts are far-reaching. They might involve a certain Pokémon known for its hijinks... which in a way is a "heritage" and "throwback" of sorts.
In recapping the end of the season, last year (see below) is also a "heritage" of sorts, as it was the first time I did as such, which paved the way for later seasons and even today. As I've said back then, it was never an "ending" so much as a "climax", and that has been continually proven. Now that it has continued, in that respect, it has become a "living heritage" for the respective seasons and more.
For the next season, the information on it has come in time, and it will be a bright and breezy one. Still, the "heritage" presented over the previous three months will remain a part of Pokémon affairs in the next season and others to come. Appreciation is deserved, especially at this (high) point in the season.
