The Season of Memories in Motion

Like in many end-of-season posts, I actually had included a preview of the next one to come, specifically in its closing. With regard to that, the key parts of the preview were the words of "remember" and "progress", which corresponds to the season's title of "Memories in Motion". The title suggests a dynamic season as well as a commemorative one, both points of which I'll get to shortly, and even its seasonal image is composed of mostly blue elements... like the sea where the blue water is constantly in motion with the waves.

Now, this year marks the 30th anniversary of Pokémon (which I've already highlighted), and it also marks the 10th anniversary of the game itself (which I'll highlight later on). Thus, the commemorative aspect still becomes rather evident, with the new season being positioned right after the former. As for the dynamic aspect, a bit of a radical restructuring is about to go on in this season, and there's as much regularity as there is change in it. The commemoration and dynamicity are to be revealed and highlighted as all things progress.

Prior seasons have also been analyzed for their relevance beyond Pokémon Go, and this one will be no different. Per the above, commemoration and dynamicity will be the things to look for in all kinds of Pokémon happenings, especially given the anniversary year. In fact, given what was divulged at Pokémon Presents, which I've still got to get to, this anniversary year might just also present a "commotion" as something beyond just regular "motion", being the obvious dynamic of this season. It even might continue into the next year.

"Commotion" might also represent the happenings outside of Pokémon, which only have a minor bearing but could still affect in major ways if the happenings are big enough, like what happened some years ago. For the present, it seems a certain dynamic is unfolding by itself - and has done so just recently - and if that dynamic continues, it too might be an influencing factor for this season and beyond. But that may be something to ignore for the most part at present, and the winds of change might still be localized to Pokémon (Go).

Based on all of the factors above, both internal and external to Pokémon Go as the relevant realm, this season might be construed as one of the most dynamic yet for Pokémon Go. In addition, as part of the greater Pokémon anniversary, there is surely going to be quite a bit of movement on that front within and outside of Pokémon Go. As for the "memories", all things from the past and present are to be remembered for Pokémon (Go), and it'll be fascinating to see how all of them pass the time of this season and beyond.
