Title: Day/night and seasons
Post by: magmaman1632 on March 28, 2011, 10:33:56 PM
I think it would be cool with a day night feature and a season feature, but day and night would change every 2-4 hours and the seasons with the months  ;D

Interesting. I'm not much for anything being thrown in before the open beta on friday, but this might be cool.
I, however, would rather it change based on the time at the Server's location.

At some point we will implement Morning/day/night stretching over 2 hours each. Thus each period will be available 4 times a day. (maybe we'll decrease it to 3 times a day)

This is mainly due to real life timezones and server positions.

If we feel like it, we'll implement seasons aswell.

Different seasons could be interesting. I'm for it. Of course different pokemon should be more or less common in different seasons. Fire and bug pokemon would be rare in winter, while water and ice types would be rare in summer.

Actually, I'd think water types would flourish in the summer. Because that's when everyone goes to the beach.

Agree.. haha.. Although... I believe rarity of a certain pokemon would be my opinion. =/

This is an interesting concept, which could have interesting results. One thing to consider is that different pokemon would be more likely to come out at different times, (night/day) but the seasons idea takes it a step further... The only issue I see is people getting annoyed that say they joined just after the summer season ended and now they will have to wait to get the pokemon they wanted.

Perhaps make seasons last a month each? Then the 4 seasons would cycle 3 times a year.

An example could be.

January - Summer
February - Fall
March - Winter
April - Spring
May - Summer
June - Fall
July - Winter
August - Spring
October - Summer
November - Fall
December - Winter

Hey that would work nicely as winter holidays would be during the winter season so if they wanted they could do winter themed holiday quests!

Yeah, most likely the seasons wouldn't run real time. Neither will day/night.

what yall should do is make the seasons and day and night so that when it is night the dark/ghost pokemon come out. and for the seasons i think you guys should give every week another season so that every week like, week33 and that week is winter wich makes ice pokemon appear more often




Sorry for my FREAKING english XD

What is the point in night/day and seasons if we don't do as you just so cleverly thought of, if I might ask?

I think seasons should last more than a week. A season per month should be fine.

I am interested in being a gym leader in the game. Please message me.

Umm.... I'm pretty the gym leaders are NPC's. It wouldn't work if an actual person were a gym leader because of different time zones and servers.  Also, this is completely irrelevant to the topic.  Please try to post in the appropriate place.

That's fine. That's a flaw in everyone.

What would be the point of seasons anyway? It would require a lot more pixel artists, and only Deerling changes with the seasons.

What about Sawsbuck?!

I think Montaza also meant Sawsbuck since Deerling is the first form then Sawsbuck. :)

Montaza? What's with everyone spelling it oddly? Anyway, yes, that is what I meant.

Changing seasons around, or going from day to night can help things be more realistic and keep them from getting old. Though if you like just having different areas always be of the same climate all the time, that's fine too.

Yeah the day and night thing sounds good and possible since it was done in previous games before, also is there going to be those contests like the ones in ruby and saphire etc?
Title: Re: Day/night and seasons
Post by: Chad29 on April 11, 2011, 10:08:12 PM
I would think so, assuming some of the fandom is into that. I'm not, but I figure some probably are.

Those contests may BE implanted into the system, but this is not quiet certain whether there are huge fans of move contests. If there are huge fans, the chance will be likely, if it's not much, it would be a waste of effort for those programmers to make the contest and NO one (or a few) participates it.
But I'm pretty sure this will be discussed AFTER the game does comes out.
Now back on subject, Season and Day Night changes are certainly nice to keep things not becoming old. However these implants may be after pre-beta or beta. As most of you guys know, they're still far behind to release the game for Pre-beta anyways (to public and note me if I'm using the wrong term of Pre-beta and not Beta, thanks).

 I like the night/day and change of seasons idea too. One thing I would add, is how the seasons would effect the battles and not just the rarity of Pokémon. There have been on-field weather conditions in-game before, and I think it would be nice to introduce them into the PU.

To give example for each:
 
Summer - Intense Sunlight
Fall - Heavy Rain
Winter - Hailstorm
Spring - Both Intense Sunlight and Heavy Rain might occur

A Desert (if there is one) might have occasional Sandstorms, at night there might be Fog or Shadowy Sky. (In the mornings there might also be Fog)

Anyways I think it would be a good idea and would help with integrating it into the game if I actually knew how to do it (TnT) because I realize it wouldn't be the easiest of tasks. - It's just an idea, if you don't like it no problem since it's not that important, but it might be fun to try. Your call.

I apologize beforehand if this was discussed before, but i didn't see any of it in this Topic, and I figured this relates to it so should be mentioned.
                                                                        Cheers, Genbor

Well, nice ideas, that maybe (that's my opinion) make them a certain time of the day (which means multiple times an IRL day). For example, summer sunny time will be from noon to 2 pm or something like that. Same for the others at different periods of the day/night.
