Website

The website featured a village filled with Pokémon, buildings, and numbered circles which represented daily activities that could be completed. Activities ranged from watching videos, creating arts and craft, and reading short stories. New activities were unlocked each day as a countdown to the New Year.

Players could also decorate their room and loft with Pokémon, lights, and other decorations, and further interior decorations could be unlocked by completing activities. A post box in front of the home allowed the player to receive a new postcard each day. The camera icon in the house or town could be used to download a photo of the scene.

One hidden Pikachu could be found in the village each day.

The website could be played without logging in, but required the player to sign in with their Pokémon Trainer Club account to save the their progress each day.
