For those who know what I'm talking about, yes, it's really "mastery" and not "magic" for the discourse of this new Pokémon Go season. It and the other keyword of "might" were the teasers in the end-of-season post for the previous season, and the season itself is formally called "Might & Mastery" with an ampersand as a joiner. From its title, it promises a bi-elemental aspect much like the prior season, although it's more specific and outright mentioned rather than being general and open to interpretation.
That said, in Pokémon Go, there will be a load of events in the next three months - perhaps more than some people can handle. Certainly, that's to be discussed later, especially the events as they occur and need to be rolled up. But to open the season, there's no harm in previewing it, as the game has in fact done. The heart of this season, or what may be considered as such, is a particular family of bears that have made single and rapid strikes in Pokémon and will debut here - I trust some know already which one.
Meanwhile, for other Pokémon games, as usual, they may not fit but at the least can be loosely interpreted in the season's context. Some of these have already been divulged in the "anniversary edition" of Pokémon Presents, and I'll need to get to that very soon. Others will need a bit of toying with personally before I can get to write about them, but that is regardless an eventuality. What I can say about them now is that a few of these are truly "mighty" and as such require their own brand of "mastery" as well.
Now I want to address a few technical matters. Last season was offset, and this season is offset as well; it will properly start a couple of days after the Go Tour festivities with its elements gradually being added. Today is also the first day of the Global edition of Pokémon Go Tour, but instead of covering it in two-day style as with Pokémon Go Fest, I'm saving it all for the final day tomorrow. So regardless, getting the start-of-season post out of the way is always a good idea, and a mighty one at that.
Some Pokémon Go seasons (since they started years ago) carry an air of intrigue, and this latest one surely has that, with species of might and magic mastery as its contents. How the theme translates into the execution of the events and how they will fare regardless will still need to be observed and then recorded as they occur, but if the season has anything to say, it may be that mastery just might show the realization of might. Perhaps as such, magic may still have a place after all.
