So, for those who read my end-of-season post yesterday, the operative word that serves as the teaser for the next Pokémon Go season is "change". That's because this season is titled "Tales of Transformation", a rather long title for one. In that lengthy stretch, there is the indication that a lot has to be interpreted about it; fortunately, some of that comes easily with what is expected from Pokémon Go and Pokémon in general, while others need a bit of deeper digging to uncover the tales they may have to tell.
The most important part of those tales, the one that concerns the game furnishing the season title, is the one that needs to be told first. This season will definitely see some Pokémon that are able to access some very different forms - certainly including Mega Evolution and the Max forms, which by now have a foothold in the game. In fact, this could be wildly different, which becomes an indication of what to expect with an event that returns from last year around this seasonal time of the year, to be explained in due time.
Meanwhile, at least a little bit of the efforts of transformation may be driven by a new and very important Pokémon game that is also due out within the period of the season. In turn, this might also become key to other displays of transformation beyond Pokémon Go and the new game as hinted above. These additional transformations might likely take time to be able to be manifested in one Pokémon realm or another (if at all), but if that happens, they'll surely reflect the current states of transformation, both past and present.
It may also be possible to look into the season image for insights. The season image as the representative of the season has an art deco style to it, which makes it "retro" even with the new developments that this season may just promise. It's also mostly black with streaks of color throughout, which might indicate how subtle and/or amazing the transformations will be. The approach might be considered "classy", and that can be carried over to all the Pokémon that might be featured accordingly.
Overall, this season seems to promise to be one of the most dynamic, if not the most yet as such. As stated, transformation or change is a commonly recognized aspect of Pokémon, and having a Pokémon Go season that honors that aspect keeps it commonly recognized and further affirms its constant relevance. The elements that are expected for it - both directly and indirectly related to Pokémon Go - will tell all the tales; perhaps it could be one by one, or all at once with an amazing(ly titled) season.
