Event Info
May 12th - 15th - Swarm: Jumpluff Down Your Throat
It's time for the annual Jumpluff migration. Which means... lots and lots of pollen. Cotton-like spores everywhere! This year is especially bad, as they're swarming - so here's hoping you didn't have (or don't find yourself developing) allergies, you're going to be miserable.
As are your Pokemon, as it turns out! Any Pokemon that has something identifiable as a nose may fall prey to the pollen, ending up sneezy, sniffly, and with runny eyes. If you're very unlucky, your seasonal-allergy-afflicted Pokemon might lose control of their abilities. (Feel free to interpret this creatively, rather than just having their abilities stop working - for example, a Pokemon with Shadow Tag might be inadvertantly stepping on their trainer's shadow and freezing them in place!)
It's not quite summer yet, but the warm weather has summoned... The Bugs. There are far too many Yanma buzzing around, getting in everyone's way, stealing food, and being territorial. Hey, did you know that Yanma can generate shockwaves that shatter windows if they flap their wings hard enough?
Weather Info
Now that everyone's back from balmy prehistoric Johto, the air might feel a bit chillier than they've gotten used to - but it's still very comfortably into mid-spring weather! Days are sunny, and nights are mild. Everything smells fresh and green, without the jungle-y intensity of the past weeks.
It's windy this week! Keep hold of your umbrellas, tents, and anything else that might get blown away easily! It's certainly not helping with the pollen...
This week is extremely wet - the rain goes almost non-stop, though it often drops down to a mere drizzle. There's a few days with full-on thunderstorms. Watch out: some of the routes might be flooded out, and take more effort to navigate!
The weather is lovely, warm enough to go around without outerwear, but with a light breeze to break the humidity of last week. If only it weren't starting off with swarms of bugs.
FEBRUARY 2018
Have you ever caught your Pokemon digging a hole in the garden or lifting shiny trinkets from the Pokemon, only for it to turn those Baby Doll Eyes on you and gosh darnit, you can't be mad at them anymore? Ever had that happen with a person? Ever had that happen with the big, scary, really not that cute Blackbelt who you just caught smoking in a No Smoking zone? Today, even the gnarliest individual will have those moments that make everyone around them give them the benefit of the doubt, because gosh darnit, they never noticed how adorable you were before!
Ahh, Valentine's Day. A nice holiday to buy chocolate for your special someone or your buddies. Some people (or in this case, Pokemon) get really into the spirit of things... in this case, an innocent tourist's not-so-innocent Decidueye, who figured out how to "curse" his ghostly arrows with Attract and is about to go hog-freaking-wild at a candy giveaway. More details to come!
Just when you thought the weirdness was over, two days after everybody was getting arrows in the back, it's another Friday. At first nothing seems out of the ordinary until you walk down to the Pokemart to get some chips, slip on a puddle of slime someone's Grimer left in the doorway, and your PokeGear goes flying out of your hand. DISASTER! ... Or not! You manage to catch it, one-handed, and right at that moment a really sick guitar riff plays on the radio. Everyone around you is Charmed. For the whole day, you will be smooth as heck.
Time to think back to the one you started it all with! From grannies reminiscing about their beloved Lillipups back in the day, to families celebrating by giving their kid their very first Pokemon, it's time to show your starter Pokemon how much you love them. Lavish some extra attention on them today and tell the whole world how great they are!
