Snorunt Fortunes
There exists an old superstition that Snorunts bring luck and good fortune to those that treasure them. 'Look into a rich man's past, and you will find a Snorunt there' is something you might hear older relatives to explain why some of us enjoy more fortune than others.
Well. It turns out those old people are right. Up to a point, at least.
Whether they actually bring good and bad luck themselves or if there is some luck-giving entity that is just very concerned with Snorunt Treatment is something that can be discussed at length, but the fact remains that how you treat a Snorunt can definitely affect your luck in life. And today, characters get to experience that for themselves.
In addition to the normal swarm mechanic (where characters can find and catch Snorunts on any route today), we are offering a little extra today that can greatly affect your character's fortunes during the rest of the month. What you have to do is quite simple!
Comment on this post with your character, and how they might be dealing with the Snorunts swarming everywhere. Are they ignoring them? Trying to catch them? Will they play with them, and if a Snorunt tries to get into their home, how will they react? Don't worry, we are not looking for an essay, just a few line or two is enough.
Based on that, your character will receive one of five fortunes for the month of January. These range from Great Luck, Just a bit Lucky, ??? Luck, Just a bit unlucky, to Great Misfortune and can affect anything from making your character particularly vulnerable to tiny little mishaps or fortunes to actually affecting things like the likeliness of them encountering/breeding a shiny pokemon or how many levels their pokemon can gain.
Mind you though, that these Snorunt are rather unpredictable. What could lead to a great fortune from one Snorunt could be taken as a complete insult by another Snorunt. Like someone once said, life is like a completely randomly decided fortune by some website generator; you never know what you are going to get!
Oh, and as always, this event is entirely optional!

He might also end up with one in a PokeBall, if any decide they want to stick around, but he's not trying for it.

As a result, Shinobu will be experiencing Great Fortune throughout January. Whenever he battles, any move that has the potential of leaving an opponent with a status effect will be 50% more likely to be successful.
