The trainer made aposton the Pokemon Scarlet & Violetsubreddittitled, “In 3 days we leave for Kitakami. We traveled so he can say goodbye to his cousins.”
The OP explained that they “couldn’t leave without saying goodbye” and attached screenshots of their trips around the various locales around Paldea.
Along their trip, the trainer sent out their Gimmighoul to pose with other wild Gimmighoul in Roaming and Chest Form, to wish them well before heading off to Kitakami.
Other players in the community enjoyed the cute sendoff to Paldea, with many remembering just how close the DLC first wave is to release. “I did not realize the expansion was so close,” said one fan.
Others wondered if they would be stuck on Kitakami for the duration of the DLC, or if you could travel freely back and forth between Paldea and the new land.
