ITS SQUIDMAS TIME
MERRY SQUIDMAS
CHRISTMAS
WHATEVER

[At this point you could call it anything and Thida wouldn't care - of course she knows this time of year, and knows Santa really does come to all good Pokemon Trainers in this world. That's how she has her father's old guitar, after all. So it's time to get goshdang festive all up in this binch.]

POKEGEAR HAS A COOL APP ON IT
I MADE SOMETHIN
EVERYBODY GO MAKE SOMETHIN ITS FUN

[Indeed, Thida has made something on the popular Shine-ee app, and...honestly, if Maika wasn't an intimidating and scary kind of Pokemon, it'd be really cute. Must be a squid thing.]



GOTTA GET IN THE SPIRIT YOU GUYS
YEEEEEEAH
SQUIDMAS IS HERE

[Text]

[thenightsky]

Carbuncle ABSOLUTELY needs one.

I'm going to make one for him and Bean. She needs to be shine-ee as well.

I wonder how obnoxious I can make this.

[Text]

[agent3]

guess you can put all the stuff on it
but then you cant see the pokemon

[She sends Noctis another one - just replace the cat in this picture with a peeved-looking Luxray:]

[Text]

[thenightsky]

True. I wouldn't want to hide Bean's beauty from the world.


Okay you are way too good at this. I love it.

[Text]

[agent3]

whaaat noooo
im just foolin around

[sleepallthewayhome]

How did you make that? It's moving.

Also is squidmas a lot like christmas?

[Text]

[agent3]

the app makes it move and blink and stuff
the pictures are gif kinds that means they can move
dunno why tho

squidmas is just like christmas
only difference is squids instead of humans

[And also it's likely to be incredibly secular and more based on Japanese Christmas than anything else.]

[Text]

[sleepallthewayhome]

That's really neat.

We didn't really have much of a christmas where I'm from. I didn't know there was someone who was supposed to give gifts that wasn't your parents.

[Newt meanwhile grew up on a space colony in the future. What are normal holidays.]

[Text]

[agent3]

yeah
thought he was real at home
never got a lot but always stuff i needed like he knew
but
it was mom n dad
city kids get a lot of stuff tho
gramma n grampa kept sayin oh father squidmas came for you and i know it was them
too many presents to really be him

but hes real here!!!!!
whatever hes called
santa claus i think
same kinda guy
whats important is hes real n not pretend n doesnt try givin u a zillion things

[When you grow up in an isolated mountain village with little money, you are always grateful for whatever you can get.]

[Text]

[sleepallthewayhome]

Yeah, I bet kids on earth got more stuff then us on the colony. It cost too much to ship things out because we were so far away.

Oh wow, there's an actual person who gives gifts here? I guess it can't be parents if they're not here. I wonder if it's a pokemon.
