ALSO, AS PROMPTS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, and in the spirit of Halloween: August's GHOST TRICK event!

O-Bon festival: The streets are lined with NPC-run stalls for food, games, and the assorted tchotchkes of every summer festival you’ve ever seen in your animes! There’s Goldeen Scoop, heaping cones of Swirlix Candy, Test Your STRENGTH (there are two different machines for people and Pokémon; HM04 not required); basically, if you can think of it, it’s there. There will also be a yukata rental stall if you want to go full hog on the cultural side of things. Ecruteak boasts a small stage where the Kimono Girls give a short performance once every two hours; the festivities in Lavender Town are a little quieter, but they also have Haunter-shaped ice cream treats. When you lick them, they Lick you!

On the last evening of the festival in either location, there will be a large bonfire and traditional bon-odori dance in which everyone is welcome to participate. In Lavender Town only, they also set paper lamps afloat in the water past the cliffs.

Who you gonna call?: Remember “The Ghost of Maiden’s Peak”? Well, some of the local Gastly, Duskull, and Yamask seem to have gotten it into their heads that this kind of tomfoolery is somehow good medicine. If your trainer had someone in their life, someone now dead, that they have unresolved business with, these ghosties may take it upon themselves to play a little dress-up and follow your trainer around in the guise of said dead person until the issue is resolved. It’s their way of saying thank you for all the spiritual appeasement of the festival.

These ghosts won’t speak; Pokémon don’t talk, after all. So yes, your trainer is going to be followed around by some silent echo of their past who will not leave them alone.

Or, of course, write your own!

I'll teach you how it's done if we're ever in town together.

[He smiles at the camera with as much dashing lad as he can manage. He's been practicing.] Though, first to drop usually pays the bill.

[Oh, Krem, please don't say that. Don't challenge him, he can never resist.] I hope it gives you peace of mind that I've been making quite a bit of coin at my job. You won't have enough to cover it by yourself, after all.

[He can never resist.]

[smoothkreminal]

If you're paying either way, leaves more coin for me to get pissed drunk the next day.

[He knows he won't lose. He drinks with a Qunari and a dwarf. You'll be done before he's even halfway.] We'll have to shake on it so you can't get out of it when the time comes.

[purramedic]

I won't need to, but that's fine if it would make you feel better.

[Rest in shit, Anders.]

[smoothkreminal]

Of course. And I promise to try not to drop you when I carry you home.

[You will regret the evening you challenged Cremisius Aclassi to a drinking contest.]
