The Peak of Max Out

So, the end of this month is also the end of the Pokémon Go season, more or less properly. As has been the way of things since the seasons framework started, it's something that I consider less of an "end" and more of a "peak"; the ties also need to be considered with Pokémon in general, beyond the specific game that it is related to. Indeed, "beyond" has a lot of ties with the moniker of this season (Max Out), and there have been differently manifested senses of that in Pokémon Go and other areas of Pokémon.

For Pokémon Go, the manifestation had mostly been in the forms of Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon in the newly incepted Power Spots, and they have represented efforts of going "beyond" like never before - perhaps for some, "beyond" what they can muster. This "beyond" journey is going to continue, and it might still take a bit of time for other Trainers to catch up to that point and "max themselves out" to that. Thus, this day is still a rightful "peak" for that, in looking forward to the "beyond" journey as it proceeds.

Then, for other Pokémon matters, there seems to be a "maxing out" of new directions for them, again perfectly described as being in a "beyond" state. There have been some of that in Unite (with a strange Unite license, not yet covered here) and Café Remix (with a majestic guest), but perhaps the most "beyond" thing of all was the incidental release of TCG Pocket in the TCG realm, which has proven to be more than what was expected in some ways. Besides being in a "beyond" state, it also seemed that some of these needed "maxing out".

Whatever the case, with Pokémon Go at the peak of things, efforts of "maxing out" may be considered as normal and universal as they are recommended and needed, in some cases at the least. The "beyond" state may be an aftereffect or incidental result of this "maxing out" process, but that should be a good thing.

Next season will have at least some "maxing out" processes continue for Pokémon matters, but another important thing may be perfecting one's views and determining where those views might lay. For now, that can be said in order to prevent one from "seeing double", even when two things appear to be chosen and then taken to their "beyond" state.
