 Professor Willow dialogue
1st Part

* Hello, **TRAINER**! Can you believe we’re already approaching the year’s end?
* But what a year it’s been! Rife with surprises, discoveries—and so many Pokémon!
* In fact, I think I saw some familiar Pokémon while I was out walking earlier. Perhaps they’ve gathered to celebrate with us.
* Why don’t you get out there and try to catch a few?

2nd Part

* We’ve certainly crossed paths with some fascinating Pokémon this past year, haven’t we, **TRAINER**?
* I’ll never forget the moment I finally witnessed Kecleon’s masterful camouflage firsthand.
* And how about when we encountered all those Pokémon first discovered in the Paldea region?
* Watching those Bombirdier soaring overhead was a thrill and a half!
* Which Pokémon were you most excited to encounter this year, **TRAINER**?
* Who knows—the best may still be yet to come!

3rd Part

* Welcome back, **TRAINER**!
* I was just reminiscing about all the ways we’ve connected with fellow Trainers this past year.
* From showcasing our favorite Pokémon to partying up with friends and taking on challenges together, it feels like our community has never been more connected.
* Do you ever stop while exploring a Route to think about all the other Trainers who’ve walked that same path? All the incredible adventures they’ve had and the ones they have ahead?
* As we explore today, let’s appreciate the wonderful community we’re part of and the friends we’ve made this year. Let’s GO!

4th Part

* Nice work, **TRAINER**.
* You should be incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved this year. I know I am!
* And yet, something tells me you’re only getting started.
* Wherever our journey takes us next, I’m grateful to be by your side.
* But enough about the future. Let’s get back out there and enjoy the present!
