Wow, so much has happened since last time, even on my side of things, and only so much of it good, let alone conducive to my progress here. But still I do have a little something to share. The calendar notifications are always nice to dip into now and again, and these very much are a part of the attention I'm giving to the wild pokémon of the land. While I did these, I sorta took to calling the wild pokémon you encounter as "wildlings", and if I stick with it I'll certainly have to add it to the glossary. Apologies for the dark emoji marker I used for the migration notice. I hope it doesn't pose too much of a problem.[hr]
🪺 WILD NESTING SEASON (STARTS) - From research dating as far back as the turn of the century, it has been found that wild pokémon are given to certain behaviors over the course of their endeavors. On the subject of their nesting behavior especially, it is generally understood that the agreeable environmental conditions associated with this range of time may encourage eligible wildlings to find equally suitable mates and raise their resulting young. Unique nesting methods may be observed depending on the particular specimens involved, but one should nevertheless expect an increase in such territorial groups that quickly swell in members.

🪹 WILD NESTING SEASON (ENDS) - As the land surely bends under the weight of competitive instinct, so the height of nesting season gradually fades and surrenders to a steady leveling-off in populations. In their own due course, the offspring grow towards independence and venture further away from the nests, as much a move to secure less contested sources of food as it is a bid to seek out territory sufficient to their needs. Thusly, after this day, wildling densities will, for the most part, more closely resemble what they were prior to the start of the nesting season. Certain oddities can occur however, so caution may still be advised in some areas for months afterwards.

🐾 WILDLING MIGRATION NOTICE - [NOTIFICATION DETAILS] Wild pokémon traveling in groups from one area to another isn't at all a rare occurrence, so this notification is typically used regarding unique cases. Such noteworthy factors can include things like the size of the crowd, the peculiarities of the wildlings involved, to even the distance traveled, among other observations, and reasons for the migration itself can also vary. Since these events might be harder to predict, short notices can be expected.

[hr]Thinking more about the relationship between the RP's campaign and the actual year-long calendar I made does raise some crucial questions about what's realistic for the RP. For a while I've been working towards ensuring an entire year is completed by the end of the RP, which seemed to make sense at the time. However, I needed reminding that the the main story, where much of the forward momentum of the plot can be drawn from, may call for either more or less days than a single year provides. My money is on longer, but that's not to say that the "arcs" that make up the story in its entirety won't potentially take as little as a few in-game months. I'll get back to this later on, but for now that's what I got. Take care until I come back. See ya.
