The Return Of The Christmas Gift Meme!

[nostabbing]

REMEMBER: IN POKEMON WORLD, SANTA IS REAL


Because it's that time of year when everybody starts putting together their Fake Internet Fictional People's Christmas Gift Lists™ and it can get complicated to keep track of everything and who's giving and getting what, right? SO:

→ Comment with your character, adding a list of what they are giving to others (if anything!)
→ Go look through the lists to see what yours are getting (HINT: Ctrl+F to search your char's name!)
→ ???
→ Profit!

Nanami will use all her job earnings so far (...in order to be able to do anything, she worked every day as much as she could :|b ) to get her gifts. Nearly everything comes from the gear store (only one thing isn't, actually), so anyone who has a present from her should have a gear notification on the 25th indicating they have a game ready for download, purchased for them by Nanami.

First off, anyone she's spoken to thus far will get a super glittery handmade card (made with Mondo!) which all have general well wishes within. Any special additions to the cards will be noted below.

Second off, EVERYONE IN DANGAN HOUSE (and also Shaun) will get a download of Poképarty, aka a multiplayer Mario Party clone thing, along with detailed instructions in their cards on how to connect to a multiplayer game with one another. Because that can only end well. Poképarty allows for games of more than four players, and instead of nintendo characters (because yeah...) it features pokemon (legendaries included) and famous trainers (such as gym leaders, professors, that sort of thing).

And onto the specific presents:

KIRIGIRI KYOUKO: A mystery adventure game, PI Pikachu. PI Pikachu is about a private investigator Pikachu; the gameplay varies from crime scene investigation to witness interrogation to random platforming minigames. All the characters are Pokémon, although all the dialogue is (thankfully) human (with a few added verbal tics relating to the Pokémon, at times). There are several different cases within, and an overarching storyline about the titular Pikachu's quest to solve the biggest mystery in his own past.
NAEGI MAKOTO: Buneary Bounce, an incredibly sugary and cute platformer wherein one controls a Buneary. Who bounces! The soundtrack is intensely upbeat bubblegum pop and the entire color palette is rainbow bright. Under Nanami's signature in his Christmas card is a code which unlocks the ability to play as a shiny Buneary when entered on the title screen (though instructions as to what to do with the code are not included in the card).
KUWATA LEON: Snubbull Stomp, which is half a PaRappa clone and half something else entirely. The player takes on the role of a Snubbull, and while there is actually rapping in the game (rhythm game ridiculousness) a lot of it is also dancing. The plot makes pretty much zero sense, but has to do with trying to impress a Skitty and also apparently trying to become mayor of Celadon City for some reason??? Or something? No one is really sure, honestly. At least the rhythm parts are fun.
HAGAKURE YASUHIRO: A magic 8 ball application for the gear. It has a bunch of Pokémon-specific phrases/puns for answers.
OOWADA MONDO: Stormy Cycling Road, in which the player takes on the role of a young motocylcist. If the cyclist isn't given a name, he defaults to Ken. It's his ~dream~ to take back the Cycling Road from the villains and various groups whose fights over the place have made it unsafe to travel. Among these groups is Team Epsilon, who are pretty obviously modeled after Team Rocket. Each level requires the player to take over a bit more of the path by racing various groups in a straight-up racer (not all characters are on motorcycles; some are on bicycles, some on Pokémon, all with different special skills and abilities), although there are minor platforming minigames here and there. Usually beating an area will make all those characters your ~friends~ and they will try to help you beat the ~final bosses~ who caused all the drama - Team Epsilon. The dialogue is incredibly cheesy and overdramatic (it's incredibly hard to take any of the characters seriously at all; it's pretty clear most of the budget went into the racing game parts) and the last scene involves everyone riding off into the sunset on the cycling road.
BYAKUYA TOGAMI: Sushi Skitty. Enjoy, Togami! Under Nanami's signature in his Christmas card is a code which unlocks the ability to play as a Meowth when entered on the title screen (though instructions as to what to do with the code are not included in the card).
KIYOTAKA ISHIMARU: The gear (and Pokéfied) version of Brain Age, with a floating Professor Oak head as the host.
CELESTIA LUDENBERG: Pretty Princess Pokémon, which is a Pokémon dress-up game. There are minigames within which earn Pokégems, which are the in-game currency to buy clothes and accessories. Your Pokémon can then have ~fashion offs~ with other people's in multiplayer mode. It is objectively pretty ridiculous, but the minigame sections aren't the worst thing ever. Under Nanami's signature in her Christmas card is a code which unlocks a decidedly gothic lolita dress for the chosen Princess Pokémon when entered on the title screen (though instructions as to what to do with the code are not included in the card).

SHAUN MARS: The gear version of Draw Something (or something similar), with various extra colors unlocked for him and a first move made from Nanami to be responded to already. It appears to be a Christmas tree!
PARKER/ALICE: Rainbow Rapidash Attack: Christmas Edition and these slipper socks.
SNOTLOUT: Magikarp Mayhem, a fishing game which will probably not help at all. The goal is to catch as many Magikarp as you can as quickly as you can, without hooking any other water type. It's actually got a pretty steep difficulty in the later levels.
BERTHOLT: A copy of Primeape Panic downloaded straight to his gear.

And AFTER the 25th, she'll get return presents for anyone who got her presents who she...didn't hit up. Those will (so far) include the following:

MAYURI: Ekans for the gear.
BLAKE: The mobile version of Voltorb Flip.
ATSURO KIHARA: Buneary Bounce, an incredibly sugary and cute platformer wherein one controls a Buneary. Who bounces! The soundtrack is intensely upbeat bubblegum pop and the entire color palette is rainbow bright. He doesn't get a code with his copy, since he's a gamer and can FIND IT ON HIS OWN, she has faith.
