Opinions on Seasons
 
So what is your favorite season in Unova?
What is your favorite place to visit during that season?
Why do you like the Season?
Do you think adding seasons was a good idea?

Hmm not completely sure, but I think I will like the spring season. I love the rainy weather (thanks to RSE lol). I might get annoyed with winter though. It reminds me of Mt. Coronet. But the music + season changes = pure win :D

I Love the Season's it changes the game alot, aswell as it adds special features such as certain Pokémon and certain areas ect. it also gives the game a change in scene, which make it look beautiful, I'm really happy they introduced seasons, and I think my favourite is Winter because it enhances the biggest changes.

Ho-Oh February 8th, 2011 6:12 PM

I think the idea of seasons is great. It gives more longevity to the games. So instead of someone playing through just once and exploring the region, they need to do it at least three more times to fully discover everything there is to offer in Unova.

As for what looks best from what I've seen in the screenshots, Spring/Autumn. :)

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire February 8th, 2011 6:16 PM

My favorite seasons from the screen shots I've seen are Spring and Fall, all the blossoming plants and the falling leaves :)

I guess they tested this in previous games with just the days, and in result Black and White took it further with the seasons. I guess you can say its a "forced playthrough" if you want to get the full expierence of the game :D

The seasons is an awesome idea.
 
My favorite would be winter. Right a the start I could catch an ice type. And maybe they added an ice dark type. And the rain would be good for a few water types. Hope there's a water mix at the start.

Idea sounds awesome, anyone has screen-shot of 1 place in different seasons?

There's actually a comparison on the actual site. :)

Oh yeah I completely forgot about days. XD So days + seasons... they want you to play every hour of the day!

The seasons seem like a good idea. It's kinda annoying when its winter outside and in the old games you walk through somewhere that it looks like summer in. And also with pokemon and areas only be accessed in one season it kinda forces you to play long after you win to see everything the place has to offer you.

Yeah but the season's change each month meaning it's still possible to play the game in winter while it's summer in real life...
I wish the season's lasted as long and changed as often as real life...

theowlmanlives February 8th, 2011 7:07 PM

they change each month...... thats just weird....

Yeah it is...but I guess it allows you to capture pokemon who are more common in winter earlier instead of waiting for real winter...

I guess that was for the impatient people xD because I know fer sure that I wasnt going to wait a full 3 months for Spring.

Dillon_68 February 8th, 2011 8:06 PM

If you think about it, there is atleast one month in real life that matches each season in the game.

Spring is January, May, September. (May is a spring month.)
Summer is February, June, and October. (June is a summer month.)
Fall/Autumn is March, July, and November (November is a fall month.)
Winter is April, August and December. (December is a winter month.)

Yeah they are but the rest at least in the Japanese versions...

I like Summer the best because summer is my favorite season in the real world. Sawsbuck also looks best in its summer form.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire February 8th, 2011 9:03 PM

I like summer too as I was born in it plus the shade of the grass in the summer in Unova is my favorite shade of green :3

Katja February 8th, 2011 9:42 PM

i hate winter IRL, but I like it in the game :D

theowlmanlives February 9th, 2011 12:40 PM

My fav season has to be fall. Also i Think spring is when sawsbuck looks best

WarpstarX February 9th, 2011 3:30 PM

Like how May is still in spring (my birth month) since it's my favorite season.

Finally another fall Fan :D!
I like Sawbuck's fall forme as it's leaves are a nice shade of red :)

blue February 9th, 2011 4:12 PM

Even though Winter is my favourite, I do admit Fall adds a great ambiance to the game more than the other seasons. I also like the way they change some apperances on certain Pokémon.
Spring and Summer are nice though and when we buy the games or for those who buy it in March, the Season will be Fall if you check my the roster on Serebii :)

Spring
Jan, May, Sept

Summer
Feb, Jun, Oct
Autumn
Mar, Jul, Nov
Winter
Apr, Aug, Dec

(http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/seasons.shtml)

I was kinda hoping that it would be Winter so that I could catch Vanilluxe, but ah well, by the time I've got to the area where I can catch one, It will probally be winter :P

I think the seasons are a fantastic idea. ^__^
I've said it before but I may as well again, I love how the game in Japanese started out in Spring if you got it within the first month. Spring is a perfect way to represent the start of a new adventure, the beginning of something grand and fresh. It really helped to set the mood for me. How the seasons change gradually too throughout your journey is a great way to show progress and your record of time. It's amazing for showing you how far you've gotten from that little bud you were back in Spring.. the imagery is just.. aaaa. <3

How the seasons affect what Pokemon you encounter, and if you can travel through certain areas or not is a nice way to really tie the seasons into the game ; just like how it does in real life. I love it all. Probably one of the best changes made to Pokemon [next to full animation] to date.

My favorite season in-game is spring, just like in real life. I love the new look everything has and how there are cherry blossom petals blowing through the trees. <3

I think it was a cool idea to add seasons,it is going to be really cool to experience the different seasons in the game and what is different in each of them.
