The Peak of Go

As usual, the post at the end of a three-month period also marks the end of the current Pokémon Go season, which has been a real "get up and go" affair. It obviously has deep connections to Pokémon Go itself by way of the identifier, but at the same time, it appears neutral enough that it can cover Pokémon happenings beyond that game, as I've suggested early on in that post. Based on the identifier of the season and its happenings, it is good to review just how things had "gone" and "went".

In the realm of Pokémon Go, there is (or was) Pokémon Go Fest, which went swimmingly this season and this year. Old traditions in the form of regional Go Fest editions could have a go once again, and those proceeded with much fanfare. At the same time, the new means of experience - the global "everyone" edition - also continued to go, and it went and bookended the entire run of summer festivities along with a specially dedicated "finale" edition. Overall, with the events proceeding without a hitch, they really did go and run, and in some ways they also went "beyond", like a certain update some time ago.

Going "beyond" may also describe this year's Pokémon World Championships, which also managed to get going again since years ago, this time with Pokémon Go and Pokémon Unite under its wing, as well as to go places, at least in comparison to its previous more recent editions. Pokémon Go finally going forth and Pokémon Unite going ahead in these competitions represent significant advances, and it's likely that others who play these games and others will have their own ways of "going" when the championships roll around next year.

Other Pokémon affairs, as elucidated through the recent Pokémon Presents, are evidently going as well, including the new Scarlet and Violet games, which are on track to go for later this year. This and the other affairs above already show that lots of things are going for them, and with that, the "Go" identifier for the Pokémon Go season really is neutral and can involve, within its scope, a lot of things in the general happenings for Pokémon. 

What may be considered for those happenings is that they are like fireworks. They become ready to be lit up, and once they're lit up, they go and race up into the sky before bursting loudly and in a bright, dazzling array of colors, as is the norm for certain celebrations of freedom. They can almost become as bright as the sun and luminous as the moon, each with their own light that fills the sky. And if the next Pokémon Go season is of any indication, then that may just be the way that things should "go".
