For the coverage of the second day of the new paid event, I'd like to take a different point of view (and have added descriptors accordingly) to point out things. Of course, that point of view is provided by not one, but three people...
Me: ...which means it's in conversation with you two.
Goh: OK, great! So... "Wild Area".
Ash: We heard about that when we visited Galar, didn't we?
Goh: Yeah! So, it's pretty much like the one there.
Me: Almost. This one is "thematic", as I explained.
Goh: You say this is Day 2, so what would be different about this from Day 1?
Me: According to the details, not much, but a key one is the "Mighty Pokémon", the ones that could be huge and have good stats.
Goh: That's extreme.
Ash: But it would be extreme(ly painful) if we didn't get some of them!
Me: That would be very true, especially since I already paid to take part in the event. Furthermore...
Ash: I got them for you!
Pikachu: Pika! ["Great!"]
Goh: Interesting. But I guess you'll say something about that later.
Me: Of course.
Ash: But things already went great: there were a few Pokémon from raids and most of the tasks were already done.
Me: So it was just a matter of completing the rest and finding more Mighty Pokémon. How'd that go?
Ash: Really great! I got many more Mighty ones with really good stats - one of them was even Shiny!
Goh: What was it?
Ash: It was an Eelektross!
Goh: Very nice!
Ash: There were lots of Dragonite around too.
Me: And the ones you caught were almost perfect. I really can use them.
Goh: What else did you get?
Me: All four of the Legendary Pokémon with a special card image, one D-Max Toxtricity, and a few G-Max Toxtricity, with both Low Key and Amped forms with a special card image.
Ash: I helped to battle and raid for them!
Pikachu: Pi pika. ["That happened."]
Me: Of course you did.
Ash: But I didn't get of the Cosplay Pikachu in Shiny, and not much else was also Shiny...
Me: That's OK, as long as we got them. You did use up the Go Safari Balls, did you?
Ash: I tried, but I still got quite a few left over before they were gone.
Me: Well, it's at least better than some people having many more left over and not being able to use them.
Ash: I got the timed tasks all done before they disappeared, and the last of the Professor Willow tasks one were a bit hard for me.
Me: I'll take care of the rest on my own.
Goh: Um, so... out with it. You did send Ash, didn't you?
Me: On this day and yesterday, actually.
Goh: Let me guess, festivals and so on?
Me: Yup. Two of them at the same time on both days. But again, I already paid for this, just like with Pokémon Go Fest earlier this year, so this was the practical - and cheap(er) - option.
Goh: I see.
Ash: I'm kinda bummed about the festivals, but this is Pokémon for us, and we did what we needed to do.
Pikachu: Pika chu pika. ["I agree on this."]
Me: Exactly - and to get our (my) money's worth on this and not to lose more in the process.
Goh: Very well. You know, I really can see this being repeated with different themes.
Ash: And with more Mighty Pokémon!
Me: I think everyone pretty much has the same thought. We'll just have to see if that can happen and the theme that it might take.
They say point of view is important, and I think my fellow Trainers (and I) realized this with the Wild Area event. That said, the event is a new point of view on things as stated, and the results might deliver just that for any Pokémon Go future.
