And finally, there is the end of this Pokémon Go season, the Season of Hidden Gems. Taking an all-inclusive Pokémon overview approach as usual, it may be considered that all things related to Pokémon, including but not limited to Pokémon Go, took the principle to heart and unearthed their brilliant potential when the time came to do so. It is known that actual gems, however, do have variance in brilliance and color, and with that, the "hidden gems" as the Pokémon facets unearthed during this season also had their differences in brilliance and color.
For Pokémon Go, all the Go Fest events were concentrated within this month, but that didn't make them all the less brilliant; they just were able to show their colors vividly as they became unearthed. Even so, this season is known to be hot on the heels of a less brilliant (in other words, lackluster) season, and that may have chipped away even at the events of this season, making those "gems" not as brilliant as they should be. Yet given the reception of Trainers to them, it seems that they'll take whatever brilliance and vividness they got from the uncovered "gems" and then polish them in their own way.
Other Pokémon games, meanwhile, either had their brilliant moments early on (like the second anniversary of Unite), which showed a vastly different color compared to its later appearance at the World Championships, where every kind of Trainer presented their colorful and competitive best while polishing their own gems to a radiant brilliance. Then, Pokémon Presents showed off more and different colors of gems that represent current and future prospects in Pokémon games; some may only be starting to polish with a dull shine, while others are getting on their brilliant shine even right away. Trainers can only agree that the shining prospect is the only way to go (from this point onward).
Given all this, "hidden gems" are bound to appear any time, even as this season winds down. Yet endings are also beginnings, and a new season will surely begin the next day. For that, there is another "Hidden Gems" song, as with one I detailed earlier this season, that could describe the happenings of the next season, but that would seemingly be more appropriate to detail as that season starts, as it is surely packed with adventure.
If all the facets of Pokémon were to be compared to gems, it would be that each one has its own shape and shade, which also means a different shine for each. It may be very well to consider this season as a reminder of that, especially once the "gems" have been discovered and the adventure remains, whether now or later on.
