July 4th: Swarm! … sort of! On the evening of the fourth, strange but beautiful lights flicker in the sky. Those who remember the lights that shone when Nephilis was released from captivity at Tohjo Falls will recognize them as being one in the same! It seems the newly-freed Legendary is hard at work once again… this time, it’s nothing so obvious as lavish holiday gifts. Rather, people may just begin to notice migrations of Pokemon to places where they’d previously never been seen! Better keep an eye on those Availability Pages….
July 7th: Freaky Friday! Man, it’s never felt harder to get out of bed… it’s like the blankets are just swallowing you up. …. WAIT A MINUTE. WHEN DID THE BED GET SO HUGE? Actually, it’s not the bed that got huge-- it’s you who got Minimized! As always with these freaky Fridays, everyone will be back to normal by tomorrow… but getting through normal everyday tasks might be difficult when you’re the size of a Flabebe.
July 14th: Freaky Friday!! You know that sort of surreal feeling when you walk into class and there’s an unexpected substitute teacher? What if instead of a substitute teacher, it was just a Substitute doll sitting there on the teacher’s desk and staring at you blankly? Actually, what if you walked in, and the teacher was still there but the DESK was gone, with a Substitute doll sitting there instead, still staring at you blankly? On July 14th, trainers may start noticing a whole lot of these plushes around, mysteriously in spots where they left things the night before and now can’t find... and just when you really needed that Great Ball, too…!
July 21st: Freaky Friday! Some days, it just seems like nothing will go right… even things you’re normally good at. Today, trainers might find themselves having trouble with tasks no matter how hard they try. The solution, as it usually is even on non-freaky days… is to pass the baton to a buddy and ask for their help. Don’t feel bad about it; just know that up at the Indigo Plateau, Bruno just spent a solid two hours trying to get the lid off of a pickle jar and wound up needing Will to do it for him. Friendship is magic.
July 28th: Freaky Friday! The day couldn’t have started off sunnier-- the whole month’s been hot, but it’s baking out and trainers everywhere are doing whatever it could possibly take to keep cool. Swimming, playing with their Water-type Pokemon, laying face-down in the air-conditioned Pokemon Center lobby… Which would be fine, but for some reason, Electric-type Pokemon are acting strange and restless all day long! The reason for this becomes clear around 4 PM or so, when suddenly the wind picks up, the sky goes black, and the most intense thunderstorm either region’s seen in years comes roaring in (literally, in fact, we’re pretty sure we saw Raikou galloping around out there…). The gale-like winds and pouring rain are bad enough, but around 6PM, a massive power surge makes cities and towns everywhere go dark as their power gets blown out! Restoring it will take all weekend, with the more remote towns taking longer than the cities… thankfully for everyone who’s been working their AC to death, the rainstorm at least cooled things off a little...
