The forward movement that I mentioned in the end-of-season post yesterday is definitely (as usual) a hint to what the next Pokémon Go season will involve. As stated, time by its nature moves forward and only moves forward, and that's a certainty for all of it - in other words, meaning "forever". Accordingly, the new season is called "Forever Forward", and by that fact alone, the season is up for all sorts of fascinating things.
By its course, this mid-year season always has the usual happenings of Pokémon Go Fest and said game's anniversary, both of which continue to move on throughout time and develop with all the novelties that they bring. The latter is also special this time around, as it is its 10th - a round number - but that's to be discussed when it's time (ahem) for that, while Go Fest's preview remains a delectable now and as it develops here.
For other Pokémon things not related to Pokémon Go yet have only a semblance of relation, they can be said to be preparing to move on from this year's anniversary and into the next, which would fit in with the season. But before they can do that, it seems necessary for them to present a few special things given that anniversary, and that can stand to be remembered forever (well, almost) as things continue to move forward.
Now is also a good time to discuss the seasonal emblem or logo. It has the season's name emblazoned in big, bold letters, with a pale blue scheme and some celebratory elements in the background of the oval. So, it may be a bit of a carryover from the logo of the previous season and the vibes that it gives off, but that's perfectly fine as it is still representative of a carryover spirit as well, given what has transpired and will transpire.
With this new season, things in Pokémon Go (and to some extent, Pokémon in general) are seemingly answering to and from time, the aspect that is truly "forever forward" in this case. It has allowed the beginnings of what make Pokémon so great to continue contributing to all present aspects. From there, the things continue to move as time allows them to in whatever direction they may need and the necessary forward one.
