Taking things as far as possible, as I've previewed yesterday, has an implication of taking things to the "max", the farthest point. So it is that the next season's moniker is "Max Out", and it's fitting for Pokémon Go because of the tendency or at least encouragement to make the best use of Pokémon, one way of which could be to power them up to the maximum. It's also fitting for Pokémon in general because of a certain gargantuan phenomenon that some years ago came to light, and even now it is still fresh in the memory of some Trainers.
With that, the Pokémon Go season has already promised certain things. That phenomenon I've just mentioned, along with its associated generation, are to be featured during this season, in addition to other matters that could result in the maxing out of things. The first two matters are "maxed out" as far as things go, so they both need to be explained in separate posts, furthermore as they happen. The rest will certainly play out in the parade of events as is typical in the three months of the season, and they'll be rolled up accordingly. Of course, all this depends on the whims of Niantic for the happenings and how they will be manifested in the game accordingly, which is still at a "minimum" rather than "maximum".
For other areas of Pokémon... well, this might be hard to judge due to this season's specificity to Pokémon Go, but there may be some room for interpretations. As with Pokémon Go, only mostly announcements have been borne out, and what's left is their manifestations in the respective games. Their potentials for maxing out may be different, but some commonalities are (and may always be) expected. All of these are further developments to be "maxed out", but then so is the same for certain old things - think back to Pokémon Presents earlier this year - that also still need to be fleshed (maxed) out.
Maximizing potentials is a key effort in some Pokémon dealings - and in particular Pokémon Go - and thus should be considered a laudable effort, if and when it can be performed. In the case of this season, there is an actual prompt for doing so, with bonuses of trying to see what other Pokémon things can also be "maxed out". The stage is thus set for a season of far extents and maximum possibilities.
