Me: Ta-da!
Goh: Ah-ha. It was Community Day yesterday.
Me: Although this time, the "Community" aspect was a bit muted for us.
Ash: And frosty too! Just like the Pokémon.
Pikachu: Pi~ka. ["Cold."]
Me: Ah, yeah. For that, I'll explain stuff, then we can comment on them.
For this month's Community Day, the icy Vanillite took the stage, bringing with it a breath of cold air to wherever it might be. Its final evolution form of Vanilluxe (after Vanillish) learns Avalanche as a Charged move, which thanks to recent developments will be available until next Sunday. The main bonus was triple XP, something that is always useful in some sectors. Then there was the usual load of niceties: extended Lure Modules and Incense, double Candy and Candy XL chance, more Special Trades and discounted trades, photo bombs, Field Research tasks, background Timed Research, extra paid Special Research, showcases, item bundles, and of course meetups for those who can schedule them and attend.
Goh: By the way, doesn't it seem like stickers are (were) missing?
Ash: Come to think of it, I didn't get any last month for Fuecoco.
Pikachu: Pika pika pika chu. ["Didn't see it either."]
Me: Oh. You know, this might have something to do with certain changes. Sorry about that.
Goh: Likewise. So, Ash, what did you get for our friend?
Ash: A few good ones! And there's one that's almost perfect too. The special tasks were neat too - they were called "Community Sundae: Vanillite".
Me: Awesome! And that's a funny title. I think I can handle deciding which ones to evolve.
Ash: I got a few started for you.
Me: That's great. The rest are mine.
Goh: So you did all this at the festival while meeting our friend's friends.
Ash: Pretty much. Our friend's other friends were all meeting at the previous place.
Me: Which is far away and hard to get to. And even if that wasn't a problem, it just wouldn't work, what with us being "frosty" with each other.
Pikachu: Pi~. ["Brrr~."]
Goh: I think they did something.
Me: I heard they made team challenges, but then... back to square one we go.
Goh: Oh. My regrets.
Ash: But you know, we could have presented Pokémon at the festival, like your community friends at the festival, not at the meetup.
Me: That's an idea. I'll see if I can organize stuff if something can happen. So in a way, it was still "Community" Day, but not the expected one. It's been such a long time since this happened personally.
Goh: Try not to stay out in the cold for too long.
Me: A good thing to keep in mind.
This month's featured Pokémon for Community Day was a little frosty and icy for some - even for this time of year - but that's something to be enjoyed in the best manner possible. After all, many people like ice cream, and so it was that ice cream was had yesterday. The next task for Trainers may just be to "break the ice".
