WORLD CHANGES

AFTER WEEK 1

There have been no visible changes in the demeanors of any people you may run into - those remain more or less blank-slated.

AFTER WEEK 2

AFTER WEEK 3

Starter Pokémon will continue to see the strengthening of both the nature and characteristic assigned to them, both becoming far more noticeable.

AFTER WEEK 4

Starter Pokémon will continue to see the strengthening of both the nature and characteristic assigned to them, both becoming far more noticeable. They will continue to try to act in their trainer's interests, though they're also starting to show a desire to act in their own self-interest; they will express minor opinions regarding things they like or don't like, and will either refuse to enter dangerous situations or will charge right ahead into them, depending on their individual personalities.

These changes do not affect any Pokémon that have been hatched from eggs at this time.
Any people you meet can sometimes be seen engaging in personal activities for no specific purpose; things like hobbies or personal interests will begin to surface, though they don't seem to know why they're doing them and the activities are still being done in a strange, lifeless sort of way. They also still aren't good at expressing opinions; trying to get them to do so will result in more oddly circular conversations that don't make much sense.

AFTER WEEK 5

Starter Pokémon will continue to see the strengthening of both the nature and characteristic assigned to them, both becoming far more solidified and starting to come together as a coherent personality.

These changes do not affect any Pokémon that have been hatched from eggs at this time.
Any people you meet will still be expressing vague interests, but there is no noticeable change from last week.

The local ghost Pokémon are now decidedly more interested in you. They don't seem overly mischievous or malicious - they seem about as odd as the rest of the wild Pokémon in the region - but they do seem more inherently trusting of you and your traveling group. They've taken to following you from time to time, and taking a general vague interest in what you're doing.

AFTER WEEK 8

Any people you meet will continue to pursue hobbies and express mild interest in things, but their ability to express opinions seems to be strengthening. Conversations actually hold substance now, including idle conversations/those not related specifically to a person's particular interests or hobbies; perhaps more importantly, people are starting to express curiosity regarding you - they may ask you questions about yourself, though they don't seem to be terribly important questions and they don't appear to process the answers very well.

AFTER WEEK 9

Starter Pokémon will continue to develop a coherent personality, and the emphasis on natural curiosity continues to develop; they may begin finding new ways of doing things that reflect their own unique preferences - things that are closer to a "signature" or aesthetic change for no reason, for example, when it comes to using certain moves or performing tasks.
