A note on Seasonal Field Research tasks

During the Forever Forward Season, most Field Research tasks will be available during the entire Season, instead of changing every month. Field Research tasks that award an encounter with Spinda (patterns 1 and 2) will still rotate monthly. Field Research available during in-game events will replace some of these Field Research tasks.
