#trick-or-treating
I wanted to throw this out there last year, but I think now is just as good : ) ♡
Starts Oct. 25th ~ Open to everyone!
Halloween candy for pokemon:
Many pokemon love to go trick-or-treating with their trainers. It’s a good experience and fun time for everyone! However, please remember that human candy can make pokemon very sick.
Some pokemon species can have certain types of human candy, but it’s very difficult to remember what is safe for which species. Better to play it safe and keep them away from it.
Every year popular pokecenters are nearly overrun by pokemon with upset stomachs. Even after Halloween night, they get calls from trainers whose pokemon gobbled up their whole candy stash when they weren’t looking.
To keep everyone safe be sure to hand out general pokefood and treats as well as candy. Trick-or-treaters should also bring a second bag for their pokemon partner’s treats.
Have a safe and fun Halloween everyone!

if a teenager is at your door and they are wearing a costume!! please give them candy!! they are still in it for the halloween spirit and it honestly no different from a little kid in a costume. they are just as excited and happy as all the other lil tykes and dont you dare tell them they are “too old for trick-or-treating” because that will literally break their hearts and that’s not cool.
Its getting close to Halloween again so I just thought I’d reblog this again
this is why I was a ghost from 10 to 18 except at 12.
Also…when I went trick-or-treating with my teenage friends, we made the streets safer for the little kids. The teens who were out to do mischief, who were generally not in costume or toting their own pillow cases, did not mess with the littles who were near us, because they knew we’d get involved. Make kids safer by encouraging Hallowteens!
I’d also like to add that a lot of kids–especially kids of color–get mistaken for being a lot older than they really are.
I’d also like to add that Jehovah’s Witness children aren’t allowed to celebrate Halloween or go trick or treating, so many of us go trick or treating after leaving the cult, and most newly freed ex JWs are around 18-25. And some of us, including me, have anxiety about going door to door.
Please keep in mind that some of the older people trick-or-treating might be autistic or otherwise neurodivergent and not understand why people think they shouldn’t be trick-or-treating! And, really, there’s no reason we shouldn’t be. Trick-or-treating is good, inclusive fun that everyone can enjoy, so please be nice if a bigger kid or even an adult comes to your door! Besides, it’s only one piece of candy and you probably have hundreds.
