So. Ten years of fighting pokebattles, the most schizophrenic mafia in existence, and a police force that consists solely of Officer Jenny and her thousand clones who are in every single city that exists... and that this has come to an end, just in time for Christmas.

You know, there's much to be said about being Santa that is positive. When you have an army of elves and Christmas magic, you really CAN deliver gifts to every boy and girl. And fairly good ones at that. Moreover... the world's not in denial about Santa Claus existing. I might be the newest person to wear the fur coat and the beard, but part of the whole shebang is to get out there and try to make the world a better place, as much as any jolly old elf can, anyway.

Honestly the best comparison isn't so much a matter of me being a rock star as much as a religious leader, perhaps. I'm not leading anyone in prayers, but I still got headlines, took up a place in a few parades annually, had China bitching about how I'm not the REAL Santa, and that there should be a State Sanctioned Santa instead, and... yeah, I can tell you a few people got coal in their stockings over THAT little bit of political nonsense.

And I needed to use a LOT of dream dust to get people to let me get to their stockings, sometimes.

And occasionally the tranq gun.

But you know what? All in all... it's a heck of a neat experience. I left the Eevee dream team behind in Pokemon, sure, but I still got to drop presents off for them, and all the friends I met back there. And that was pretty damn neat too.

Merry Christmas, everybody.
