New event tied to Minstrel?

[Simba]

For awhile on the Pokemon Global Link, the following blurb has appeared on the front page...

"I am a traveling minstrel, wandering the world. Recently, I have received 2,207,400 in tips in the Kalos region. It pleases me to know that my songs may have brought joy to others."

The number has changed of course, that's just what it is right now. In case you didn't know, there's a dude in a little cafe in Vert Plaza in Lumiose City who says "I am a traveling minstrel, wandering the world," and then continues on.

Prior to the Fancy Pattern Vivillon being released, the PGL front-page blurb was about how many Vivillons had been traded.

So...do you think maybe the trigger for the next event will be tipping the minstrel?

Actually, that thing on the PGL tracks many different things and cycles through each of them. And with the Vivillon thing, that was just the total number of trades that occured via the GTS, not just Vivillon trades. Other statistics tracked are tip totals to other NPCs throughout the game and popular Pokemon in Pokemon-Amie. It's just an aesthetic feature, with the GTS numbers just helping us to know how close we were to getting the Fancy Pattern Vivillon

I'm not sure they'll have an event for that, but they definitely should do SOMETHING with tipping. It's fairly pointless.

Ahh, okay. I must just be coincidence that the last five or six times I was on the PGL, it showed the Minstrel one.

It makes me feel like a nice person when I tip big
