I'm currently on the road but with December rolling in I figured I should explain a thing or two. There will unfortunately be no Advent Calendar this year. This is due to a number of factors but one of the main ones is that we simply don't have enough new Fakemon to make a full calendar. I believe we will have one next year. In the meantime, check the Wiki for links to previous Advent Calendar years, where you will find the various avatars we have released so far. Feel free to use them as your avatar this holiday season! We will be bringing back the 12 Days of Christmas event! This will lead up to the MCW, which will take place on January 6th and 7th. More details to come, please watch for announcements! Christmas themed accessories... I'll be honest, I've totally forgotten when they are set to be available, and cannot check while on the road. I think they will appear in Scour Missions from December 25th to Jan 1st but I will need to double-check and get back to you on that one. I'm organised, I promise! Likewise for the Costumes in the Dressing Room, fairly sure those are available at the end of the year. It is somewhat customary for me to release a "general improvements" update at the start of each year. This year, however, I am planning a more significant balance update. As it is a bigger undertaking, I'm planning to announce the updates on the New Year, then give people time to provide feedback, and only start looking to implement them in the months after that. So, no need to panic, this is just a heads-up that I am planning to announce some balance changes next month that will be open to discussion before even considering implementing them! I hope that's okay :D But one update that will (fingers crossed, barring any unforseen delays) be coming on January 1st is a long-overdue new wave of Trainer Customisation options! It has unfortunately been lower priority but it's very exciting to be able to finally offer this update.

Cool! Excited for the new MCW

Yo, new trainer stuff, how exciting! My birthday is Jan 1st, so it'll be like a birthday present! ^u^

ooh more trainer customizations? yes pleaseee

Exciting stuff! As always, thanks for your hard work!! :)

Aw, I'm excited for the event and MCW, but admittedly a bit disappointed about the advent calendar! I've missed the last few so I was hoping to be able to get the tokens and grab the custom sprites this year without using ZC. :(

Yow! Exciting! I will look forward to the trainer stuff especially!

Sick. :D Thanks for the headsup and providing a window for feedback. Looking forward to things. Safe travels!

Looking forward to hearing about the balance updates, it really does mean a lot that you'd be willing to listen to feedback on them <3 I hope this can make the game even better.

oooh, new trainer cusomisation is excitinggg, plus balance updates! this'll also be my first christmas on pfq since a few years away, so i'm super looking forward to it :3
