    Do you like the aesthetic changes in some areas during different seasons (Icirrus City, Twist Mountain etc)?

    Do you like the introduction of seasons in the games?

    I like summer, because it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I am one of the few Canadians that hates winter!

    What is your favorite form of Deerling and Sawsbuck?
    I like either the Autumn one, really pretty colours

    Do you like the aesthetic changes in some areas during different seasons (Icirrus City, Twist Mountain etc)?
    I think it's cool that certain areas are only accessible during the winter.

    Do you like the introduction of seasons in the games?
    Yep, I think they are great
    Do you think seasons make Unova look realistic?
    I don't know about LOOKING realistic, but they give it a little bit more realistic feeling.

      Fall. I think the graphics shine greatly then. The trees are a perfect shade of brown.

    • What is your favorite form of Deerling and Sawsbuck?
      Summer Deering, and a tie between Summer and Fall Sawsbuck.

    • Do you like the aesthetic changes in some areas during different seasons (Icirrus City, Twist Mountain etc)?
      Yes! I wish there were more.

    • Do you like the introduction of seasons in the games?
      Of course! I only wish there were holidays that came along with it, hah.

    • Do you think seasons make Unova look realistic?
      Not really. More refreshing than anything.

    What is your favorite season in B/W?: Spring and summer.

    What is your favorite form of Deerling and Sawsbuck?: Spring and summer forms.

    Do you like the aesthetic changes in some areas during different seasons (Icirrus City, Twist Mountain etc)?: Yeah, I do, especially in Route 1.

    Do you like the introduction of seasons in the games?: It's a pretty cool concept aesthetically, but I don't like how Palpitoad and Shelmet can't be found in winter.

    Do you think seasons make Unova look realistic?: It does.

    I love winter, I just love how there is snow all over the place, and it's my favorite time of year anyway!


    What is your favorite form of Deerling and Sawsbuck?

    Deff winter form, I think that it looks the best and obvi from my favorite season as well.

    Do you like the aesthetic changes in some areas during different seasons (Icirrus City, Twist Mountain etc)?

    Yes, it makes it seem different, but in a cool way.


    Do you like the introduction of seasons in the games?

    Yes, I am very glad they finally did it, it makes it seem so great to have seasons changed and stuff and with the deerling changing with the seasons was a great idea too!


    Do you think seasons make Unova look realistic?

    As I said above, I really think they do. It puts the real world aspect into a game and it's amazing we get to experience each season 3 times a year in Unova. I really do love that they added this to the game to make it even better

    My favourite season was hmmmm actually probably Winter because it looks so pretty and has all these extra effects. As for my favourite form, the spring one, definitely. Pink ftw, but for Mebu--Sawsbuck, definitely the Winter one, it looks so in fashion.

    Yeah I like the changes but I wish they would affect more than just those places and I wish they affected your home town too. :x Um, I don't think it makes Unova more realistic though, more interesting, sure, but I'm Australian, so snow makes it LESS realistic. XD

    Spring. I like seeing the flower petals falling from the sky.

    What is your favorite form of Deerling and Sawsbuck?

    Winter. I like the whit fur around its shoulders and its white antlers.

    Do you like the aesthetic changes in some areas during different seasons (Icirrus City, Twist Mountain etc)?

    Yes, but I think they should have added a bit more changes in other areas.

    Do you like the introduction of seasons in the games?

    Yes! I love the seasons.

    Do you think seasons make Unova look realistic?

    Not really, since season only last 1 month at a time. xD
    It makes the game nice to look at though.

    I have not yet experienced a Winter season, so no comments here.

    Yup, totally like it. Every months a different playing experience.

    Do you think seasons make Unova look realistic?

    Yes, it makes Unova more world-like.

    Winter - sick as haha
    What is your favorite form of Deerling and Sawsbuck?

    Winter for both Sawsbuck and Deerling
    Seasons in Unova
    Seasons in Unova

    Sawsbuck is easily Winter. I think that the Summer and Autumn ones look dumb :l
    While the Deerling have very minimal differences but I prefer the Winter Deerling's colour


    Do you like the aesthetic changes in some areas during different seasons (Icirrus City, Twist Mountain etc)?

    Yes I think that they were amazing ideas. Would love to see them applied to more places in the future!

    Do you like the introduction of seasons in the games?

    Yes definitely :3.

    Do you think seasons make Unova look realistic?

    I'd say that it does create a more realistic feeling for the most part.

    The Winter due to Snow

    What is your favorite form of Deerling and Sawsbuck?
    Clearly the winter ones

    Do you like the aesthetic changes in some areas during different seasons (Icirrus City, Twist Mountain etc)?
    I just love snow in general, so of course I would love it when it snows in Unova

    Do you like the introduction of seasons in the games?
    Yes and its great that each month is a new season, I wish it were more like every two week a new season would come

    Do you think seasons make Unova look realistic?
    It sure did because many places throughout the world goes through season changes

    Winter was my favorite season, although I didn't like not being able to battle Cynthia. :x I haven't really paid attention to Deerling and Sawsbuck's forms, but NidoJosh's post with the sprites makes me want to say winter. :3

    The changes were a good idea. Even the lack of availability of some Pokemon during Winter was cool. I don't think being realistic is all too important, buuuut I guess it adds to how "realistic" Unova is.

    What is your favorite season in B/W?

    Winter. I like the white snow that blankets the landscape, and the nostalgia it brings to me of my childhood.

    What is your favorite form of Deerling and Sawsbuck?

    My favorite is definitely the Winter version. I like the white fur and snowy horns it has.

    Do you like the aesthetic changes in some areas during different seasons (Icirrus City, Twist Mountain etc)?

    Yes. Yes I do. It actually doesn't look the same all year round, and changes the game's landscape four times a year. It just helps me from getting bored from seeing the same green leaves and usual weather.

    Do you like the introduction of seasons in the games?

    Black and White did a good one at that, so I must say yes.

    Do you think seasons make Unova look realistic?

    Yes. Yes it does. To me, it adds some kind of different atmosphere to the game, and makes it more realistic in that only some pokemon appear so and so in these seasons.

    Winter also. it is so fluffy!

    Do you like the aesthetic changes in some areas during different seasons (Icirrus City, Twist Mountain etc)?

    Yes. Every month is a different experience for me.

    Do you like the introduction of seasons in the games?/ Do you think seasons make Unova look realistic?

    Yup, they do!

    My favorite season (in both Pokemon and in real life) are Spring and Summer. Out of the two, I prefer Spring slightly more (in real life, I love the month of May more than any month. In fact, May of 1999 was when I first became a Pokemon trainer (with Red) plus May is warm but not too hot).

    I like all forms of Deerling and Sawsbuck, but I prefer Spring (Pink form) the most.

    My least favorite season (in both PKMN and IRL) is Winter. I hate that you can't buy a Casteliacone in Winter. This coming Tuesday is the last time I can buy one for a while cause it's Winter in December and back to Spring in January.

    Yeah I think it's a nice addition, but it wasn't really that necessary, I don't really pay attention to it.

    I don't know, I thought all the daytimes were fine, the seasons are a little chaotic imo.

    Well, I love all seasons mainly because they add a sense of realism to the game. Generation II gave us time, so it was long before seasons came along; I loved how the mechanics worked, using the DS calendar, as this made switching seasons easy.

    If I was to pick a season,it would be Winter, as, to me, it conveys itself properly, like how snow can change the geography of a place. And I also love Deerling/Sawsbuck Winter Form, they're cute.
