Real-time weather
 
In the recent demo, the route on which it took place was rainy. The same forest entrance was seen in an earlier screenshot, and it wasn't raining.

This leads me to believe that rain or other types of weather will be remote in this game, occuring at random moments, like real life. In previous games, there were only certain areas to display outside weather effects, and they were permanent. Discuss.

I wonder if they will ask you for your country so it has the same weather as your country, in other words, no snow for me.

Dillon_68 July 31st, 2010 10:15 PM

It would be cool if they had some kind of feature where you can get weather for your zip code over wifi, maybe a whole weeks forecast at a time?

Bloothump July 31st, 2010 10:20 PM

I'd rather have it be random. Just because it's raining outside doesn't mean that I necessarily want it raining in my pokemon game. I'd like real time weather. It makes it different every time you revisit a route.

Rengoku July 31st, 2010 10:23 PM

No I want snow!
It's better snow in Singapore nao if it affects certain countries D: <

Considering it's really easy to do random weather (read: possible since field weather was created in Gen III), it's possible they'll do this. Or, that weather thing could just be an event or have been changed since the screenshot was made.

Well in the demo it seemed like the rain was actually posing an issue (isshu XD).
Towards the end of the video showing the demo, you can see Prof. Araragi looking out towards a flooded basin with a row of pillars going forward through the water.

This makes me think that at a certain point in the game you are unable to get through the forest, as the bridge might be submerged. That's my take on it.

wouldn't like the wifi forecast cos in cardiff it rains all the time so lots of water pokemon for me!!!

Red1530 August 1st, 2010 7:45 AM

I would like real weather to be an option with random weather being the default. This would add a more realistic weather system.

polkop August 1st, 2010 8:39 AM

I don't think that it will be random.
I think it will have specific timeon specific day that it will rain.

Espeon Master August 1st, 2010 9:00 AM

I think it would be cool if we got the whole animal crossing ds effect, random weather depending on the season, but of course in a pokemon game. That would definitely make things more exciting. If this is true, do you guys think that mean the pokemon appearance chances will change every day with the weather?

Agent Clank August 1st, 2010 10:23 AM

Sounds pretty cool to me.
I would like it to be random like in real life,were rain can happen at any moment.
I can see this happening :)

Both are great ideas.

I like the idea of weather actually based off of what's happening where you live in the real world, but even then, sometimes whether should occur randomly sometimes and/or there should be a few routes that are always under certain weather, that way people who live in Florida can still get ice type pokemon.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 1st, 2010 11:50 AM

I would like them to insert a weather forecast for Isshu, showing the clouds,etc in a certain area, like a radar ;) Then the weather will be different everyday!

And somehow this reminds me of the Weather Institute in Hoenn, and people will use it as an reference to having a Hoenn remake -Throws confetti-

I'd not mind a weather institute in Isshu, with Castform having more forms maybe, or an evolution?

Lol, Me neither, didn't they have a lady in DP how worked for the institute? Maybe Isshu will have one who gives you a Weather addition or device to you called "Weather Radar" ;).
I would love a Castform Evo :D!

Dillon_68 August 1st, 2010 12:23 PM

Wasn't there supposed to be a weather indicator in battle now as well? On the bottom screen? That could be an indication that weather will have a larger role this time.

I guess so but I guess it's there cos' the "It's Raining" thing have gotten on the nerve of many people now.

(&. Yay! 300th post!)

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 1st, 2010 12:41 PM

I think they will truly update the weather system at least I hope they do, they began it in gen 3 and added to it in gen 4 and I hope for gen 5 to have a major addition ;)

orange discontent August 1st, 2010 12:48 PM

If it's got changing seasons, why not random weather?

GFA August 1st, 2010 12:52 PM

Which is an excellent point ... The DS can tell days afterall, so it shouldnt be too hard.

Volroc August 4th, 2010 11:53 AM

The Weather
 
Before you go "OMG! Another Speculation about new weather" stop and read.

I wanna know what you think the weather will be like during each season,on each route,in each town, exc. exc. ^_^

Im hoping its gonna be a little more realistic and rains on a few random days of the week, and during the winter theres snow every day to every other day

while i think the fog should come into play during the early mornin, between 4-6am, especially in the big cities like Huinn.

the mountains will definitely have snow/hail, or at least the 2big snow covered ones ^_^

so watcha think people? wat is Isshus climate?

Unknown Trainer August 4th, 2010 11:57 AM

I like your idea!! =)
Although I was kinda surprised that HG/SS didn't have fog but meh it didn't really bother me. I'd like so see the sun get harsh during the summer season in some areas.
