Some days in life are special, and for those who play Pokémon Go in particular, Community Day is one such day - at least, most of the time, given my experiences and those of others. So it is that today's edition does fall on a certain special day for some people of a loving kind, but I won't touch on that too much. Instead, I'm going to touch on the featured Pokémon species, for which some may be loving toward it as much as it appears loving. That may or may not be indicative of the Pokémon, so I might as well just explain it plainly.
For this edition, the featured Pokémon is Pawmi; it and its species family -with the Shiny form debuting by this event - represent the "signature Electric type" of the ninth generation and therefore the Paldea region as well. It evolves twice, first to Pawmo and then to Pawmot, gaining the Fighting type in the process. For the purpose of this Community Day, it gets the Charged move of Brick Break to suit that added type. The second evolutionary process is one that would normally require 25 km of walking with Pawmo in the Buddy Pokémon position, but for this Community Day, it only needs 1 km, which also applies for the extended move window up to next Sunday.
The other elements of today are of the usual kind. The main bonus is quartered Egg hatch distance, always a useful one for "stuck" Eggs. Then there are extended Lure Modules and Incense, double Candy and Candy XL chance, another Special Trade and a trade discount, photo bombs, showcases, and item bundles in the shops - all of the standard ones. Research too is standard, with the usual Field Research tasks and rare ones for Pawmi with backgrounds, the Timed set for another Pawmi with a background, and the paid Special set - this one titled "Pawmi and You" - with all the perks. Not much more needs to be said, though they always need to be mentioned.
Meanwhile, there was no need to make things special for what I did, but I did anyway - with a little help...
Goh: Oh, you got Ash to do things.
Ash: Yeah - but just with the basic shirt and pants. And... a special Pokémon shirt by our friend!
Goh: That looks really nice! Um... "the ending has not yet been written"?
Me: Mm-hmm. It's a "technical term". Think about it - but not now, since we have Community Day.
Ash: I got a lot of Shiny Pawmi!
Goh: Pawmi looks really cute, and so does its evolved forms Pawmo and Pawmot.
Ash: You said it. I think we'd all like to have one.
Me: You did evolve a few all the way to Pawmot, right?
Ash: I did. They even got me a toy car from your friends.
Goh: I thought they were "frosty" with you two.
Ash: I guess they "thawed out" today.
Me: Don't expect this to be the norm - they might just become colder at any time.
Ash: They didn't react to the shirt either.
Goh: Well, let's not draw attention to it. Who knows what might happen.
Me: Good idea. Anything else I should know about?
Ash: A few of us wanted to battle Dynamax Suicune, but before we could, it started to rain.
Goh: Maybe Suicune wanted to be out and about instead.
Me: At least I already took care of it yesterday. But still.
Goh: I know what you mean. Suicune can be a bit finicky.
Ash: But Pawmi aren't!
Me: Good thing, and that makes for a good day too.
Being the "signature Electric type", having a loving quality is practically a given for Pawmi and its species family. That said, this edition of Community Day might also be considered particularly loving, what with that special day I mentioned and what happened on my own end for it. Its fighting spark may just be the thing to keep things going.
