As usual, the fourth Thursday in November means Thanksgiving, a holiday that is quite North American-centric but is not unknown in other countries (including Japan as the "home" of Pokémon), certainly with their own unique aspects and differences. I've already discussed much about the aspect of thankfulness in posts of previous years, so those continue to apply as part of the sentiments of this day. The other sentiments concern a few other things characteristic of this day "over there", two of them being food and birds - a certain large one for the latter, but history might have allowed for others alongside. Those are the perspectives I've chosen to take for this year's discussion, still with some added Pokémon views.
Food has actually been discussed in a past year, although the perspective on that was more philosophical, even with Pokémon in tow. This time, I'd like to take a more comical perspective - in particular, one that involves consuming them. That's one sense of the sound made by a certain real bird characteristic to this time of year, though similar birds are less prevalent for Pokémon. Even so, it has been known that even a bird like Pidgey can consume ("gobble") more than its fair share and becoming rather plump in the process, much like that certain real bird, something that the bird may just aspire to.
Prior to that bird becoming the food item du jour, as noted, there (may) have been other birds on the Thanksgiving table, some of which may have taken the manifestations of, say, Psyduck and/or Unfezant, to name a couple of relevant bird Pokémon. For the Pokémon Thanksgiving table, they might be alongside it rather on it - understandably, even if the "other" matter can be understood, but the spirits of any festivities of the occasion should still be applicable regardless of what's with or on them.
That would mean eating what's on the table, conversing with everyone there, and maybe having a little bit of fun - the "quacking up" or "cracking up" part of that. When that happens, another bird Pokémon may just join the festivities, the recently discovered Fezandipiti. Thus, both of the objectives in the title of this post are realized and fulfilled, and coupled with a sense of thankfulness for everything, it becomes all the point of today.
It seems that it may be permissible for a bit of fun to occur on this very day, if the above somewhat comical interpretation could represent all the things of today, occurring together with Pokémon. Those who never tire of it will certainly have something to be thankful for, along with gobbling down food and quacking up at anything else fun that may be had
On a day like today, the reminder to be thankful may just present itself with some fun. So, I wish a Happy Thanksgiving for those who celebrate.
