The Peak of Adventures Abound

Well, the events have wrapped up, and now it's the last day of the month and of it overall, so the end of the season has to be dealt with. As has been evident for the past three months, the season has the (sub)title of "Adventures Abound", which has the potential to imply certain things. Two of those things regard the qualities of adventures, which may be outward or inward as it applies to different Pokémon games, not just limited to Pokémon Go as the season might suggest. And that is worth looking into after the three months of this season.

The outward quality was indeed quite apparent with Pokémon Go, and definitely so with the entry of Pokémon from Paldea. It marked a way of breaking out for the game, which might be considered unusual but only further affirmed the quality. The major feature that colored this season, Party Play, was also a breakout social move. And even though most events were repeats, the new Pokémon and features did bring their outward side.

For other games, they mostly had their own things going on, but every once in a while, something did try to break out. Pokémon Unite did that with the addition of Mimikyu in time for Halloween, and Café Remix had some new features beyond the usual; the latter, though, seems to be about to be more "baked in" with the way that things have gone for it. It may be that in the times ahead, there would be more outward-inward battles within them.

Still, either way, some adventures were still to be had. They would have had to involve dealing with the aspects that had the presented qualities and making them work wherever and whenever possible. At that point, the adventures might just be able to amount to however many people would like them to be, even "abound" as the season (sub)title suggests. 

Possibly, what might be considered great about adventures besides their quantity is also their quality, specifically their way of transcending times - in a way as the Pokémon Go example above. But then, that could also be considered a whole lot more literally, and in that sense, there is a plethora of adventures to be had then, now, and later on.
