    yeah probably. They should give you a sort of side quest every year for your birthday each one being different.

    I mean to be fair it's never been huge things but little gimmicks most of the time a Pokémon center thing. Scarlet and violet is actually pretty decent since they have the a special mark you can get on Pokémon you catch if it's your set birthday

    In most games gens 6-8 (I think), the Pokémon Center has a new theme (that's either the Happy Birthday song or a remix of the usual theme, I can't remember), Nurse Joy congratulates you (that one's in gen 5 too), and there's also a Birthday Icon in the Pokémon Center.

    In gens 4-7 (idk if SwSh has this too) you could go to certain places on your Birthday, like the snowy parts of Mt. Silver in HGSS, or Frost Cavern in XY, Mount Lanakila in SM/USUM, and more, but instead of the usual snow or hail, they'd have Diamond Dust which has no battle effects, nor does it even appear in battles, but it's really cool!

    In DPPt, if you talked to the professor's assistant during your Birthday, they congratulate you.

    And more stuff that's easier to just check on **** (just search "Birthday" there).

    im fine with there being less emphasis on birthdays. I don't need to be told I don't get presents on my birthday anymore.

    My birthday just passed not long ago and I didn't even think to check since I was happier playing animal crossing wild world (all I got was a gift from my villager Roald)

    Happy Birthday clasingla!
