I think that'd be much to program as well. Either the seasons cycle through quickly or they take the whole-year loop. Either way it's not the weather/conditions the player experiences in their world, it's Isshu's weather. So if Isshu has snow in the winter and you don't, well, that's due to Isshu's geography.

A random weather script would be nice - this would make it so that people without Wi-Fi can still have varying weather and Pokemon encounter rates (trust me, I'm still an anti-event-Pokemon player because of the lack of traveling capabilities and lack of Wi-Fi). And if Wi-Fi is enabled, you also have the option of having the weather match your local area, possibly via connection to that Weather Service that the Wii uses.

If BW save files are going to be able to be played on the Internet, adding a localized weather script to the game shouldn't be that difficult (then again, I'm not a scripter, so I'm not going to make light of the work scripting entails or predict the feasibility of the whole weather implementation. Though it would be nice, that's for sure. :D)

I wish that Steel and Ground types also received the SD I beleive stat increase when there is a sandstorm...

Maybe, maybe not. In addition to your basic in-game weather patterns, perhaps whenever you connect to Wi-Fi or whatever it could download a daily or even week-long forecast based on whatever you chose for your location on the Globe. So the game just accesses a different file location on the server depending on what you chose. It doesn't even have to be one for each possible location, so something like New Mexico and Arizona may get the same forecast.

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?


I love your ideas. I think Isshu isn't a generally snowy place. During winter it may be able to snow in mountains, In a snowy city (if there is one, It can be blizzardy in winter, snowy in Autumn, defrosting in Spring and grassy and sunny in summer.

I like the idea of mist in early hours. I hope Spring time makes flowers bloom too ^_^

I love the idea of Isshu having its own climate, making it localized would seem a bit weird. I wouldn't see much variation in each season either. All sunny in Summer and rainy/snowy in winter. I'd prefer Isshu's own climate. I do like the idea of an Isshu Forecast though.

They are probably make the weather exclusive to season, as it would be too much work to make weather conditions appear random on maps, and IMO i odnt think it would fit.

Shadow-Star August 25th, 2010 5:11 AM

I like this idea a lot, but as coolnick37 said, the weather would go by season, it would be too much work for them to do it otherwise

Sora's Nobody August 25th, 2010 5:39 AM

Well lets sya they didnt base the weather off Wi-Fi. but instead controlled themselfs when its going to snow where ect. I want them to make it realistic, i mean in real life you wouldnt go from a snowy city instantly walking into a summer-fry route where the sun is shining. They could like thinking about how weather placement usually is in real life. They could e.g if its a life nescessity that a certain route is sunny they could atleast slowly ditch the snow, showing bits off melted snow untill the path is all clear.

Honest August 25th, 2010 12:18 PM

I hope they make it random, cause having Route 216 (I think) under a blizzard everyday can get annoying at time.

The only reason I wouldn't want the weather in the game be the weather here in New York City is because NYC has a tendency to be sunny a lot, and maybe once in a while have strong rainstorms. >_<
