With or without a "break", Community Day remains "on fire". Going a few seasons back, the dates for Community Day for the three months of the forthcoming season - including Classic editions, if any - have actually been set as early as the last month of the season, certainly to suit the system. This is certainly in its own regard, and Trainers may have to adjust their other agendas to suit, as I have done a few times. So it is that I (and other Trainers in my local area) have to exert a bit more effort for this edition and continue that "fire".
The fact that things are "on fire" is also a hint for the featured Pokémon of this edition. That would be Litten, the Fire-type starter of the seventh generation. Hot on the heels of Rowlet from January, as is the norm of starter Pokémon, its fully evolved form of Incineroar gets the special and exclusive move of Blast Burn; it can also learn Darkest Lariat from this point onwards as a non-special "signature" move. The main bonus is tripled XP, a boon and yet another "hot" chance for those less than level 50 to catch up.
Also as usual are the other bonuses: double Candy and Candy XL chance, extended Incense and Lure Modules, an extra Special Trade and discounted trades, photo bombs, extra Torracat raids, Field Research and showcases, Web Store and in-game shop bundles, and commemorative stickers. Meanwhile, the extra paid Special Research is called "All Fired Up" and takes Trainers through a hot discovery journey about the species family with Professor Willow. Any and all of these bonuses may be "hot" for certain Trainers.
Today, there was no hot weather where I am, but what was "hot" was meeting a lot of friends, some old and some new, in the same place as the past few editions of Community Day. Though there wasn't much of anything new to offer in the workflow of this month's edition, the experience with old and new friends was still a renewed one, and that made things "hot" in a sense. Also "hot" today was the opportunity to use up a good bit of the bonuses, something that I don't usually have a chance.

As usual, I evolved the "cavalcade" I keep in mind for this purpose, though I didn't have a Lucky one on hand - perhaps due to sudden circumstances - and the Shiny ones left something to be desired, even during the organized contests at the end. There were also no apparent "perfect surprises" other than ones that weren't universal, though I did get one that was almost as such and consequently evolved it. This edition had a good haul, although in some sense it could have been better.
While the "heat" of this edition was mostly figurative, it could still be felt with the "warmth" of many good friends as well as the featured Pokémon and its species family, at least personally. Those who are participating in other parts of the world may very well differ about that, including the actual and proverbial heat, but something that could be almost certain is that Community Day remains "heated up" to continue its "on fire" trend, obviously helped by a trio of fire cats and lots of Trainers to stoke the fire.
