It's not exactly graduation; you already graduated, technically, and there wasn't a ceremony for that anyway. You just passed a practical at the DPT and got a terrible picture taken and got your license. No fanfare or anything, which some of you might have been a bit disappointed by. No, today's just another day, no special name for it. Of course, ceremony or not, this is way better than graduation: today's the day you finally get your pokemon.
The YTA distributes its care packages to new trainers once a week, so you waited a few days after getting your license and showed up at the YTA building early, eagerly anticipating what's to come and sure you'd be first in line. Of course, five other youths had the same idea, all of you collecting in the lobby within minutes of each other, all a bit before the receptionist is even in.
Given that the YTA's classes are modular and independent, you've only seen each other before rarely, if at all. It looks like all you've got to occupy yourself with while you wait is small talk and getting to know each other, or else studiously avoiding doing so.
