Love the seasons.

Fall is the best. Winter is just dull looking until you get to the areas where it snows (which is few in number)

Yeah, I think it's safe to say that the Seasons feature is my favourite feature intoduced in Gen V, surely Day & Night and Weather is good but Seasons gives the games a more realistic and.. well seasonal feel and they make the game look better overall :)

I haven't got the game yet but it seems like a good idea. It kind of makes sense seen as, in real life, you'll see more or less of certain animals in the wildlife dependent on what season it is, so why not intergrate that into pokemon? :)

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think there's only one pokemon who's appearance is affected by the seasons which I'm slightly disappointed about as I think they could have been more creative with that aspect of it.

I noticed something I dislike about the seasons - the fact that the leaves blowing in Autumn is only evident in Route 1. I wish they'd extend it for other routes, too, instead of isolating it. Also, I don't really like Autumn season as it is, I can't wait until it's over. XD

Zelda March 17th, 2011 3:02 AM

I had pretty much grown tired of viewing the Autumn season throughout every place until I reached Icirrus City. The houses in that city resemble vintage houses, and what suits a city such as one like that more than the fall? n_n The colors just mix together perfectly, and its probably one of my favorite cities in the game so far.

However I really can't wait until the season changes as I'm eager to see the others already, haha.

Tsundera March 17th, 2011 3:09 AM

I prefer the aesthetics of Summer more than the other seasons. The towns are so bright and they look like absolute little treasures. Winter is pretty cool too, especially with the additional bonus of hidden-area revelations; that's very creative and I'm glad Game Freak have been thoughtful in respect to implementing the seasons.

Legendary Silke March 17th, 2011 3:21 AM

I love the seasons. Summer, to me, is what I'm most at home in. Bright stuff, anyone?

Beechlgz March 17th, 2011 3:57 AM

Mine is just staying at autumn, is that normal? How long does a season last?

That said I can't comment really because I've only seen autumn so far.

BigIce17 March 17th, 2011 4:06 AM

I cant really say since in still only in autumn. >.<

Dawn March 17th, 2011 5:02 AM

I personally like winter a whole lot. What can I say? I like winter. I really like winter, or at least the mood set by it. I don't like walking in snow, or driving in it for that matter. I like looking at it most of the time though.

But yeah, that like translates into Pokemon quite nicely.

Have to agree - I kinda feared that would be the case when they revealed the promo shot and that was confirmed when I played the game. Similar to weather in games being restricted to certain routes only in the last few gen games - it's just artificial. =(

Otherwise I quite like the concept and if does add a lot to the places it does show up in, as well as more in the way of backtracking and exploration too.

A month. I think you can change the date though on the DS if you want - just note that other time-based stuff may be affected, and now just in b/w either.

Eurydice March 17th, 2011 5:50 AM

I love that they added seasons. i havent seen any of the other ones but from pictures i would say spring would be my favorite.

It's awesome that they still kept day and night, making it just an aesthetic change. Seasons definitely make the game more realistic. Although not for the Winter snow, because it doesn't snow here. But that's why I love Winter. It shows me what I want, but don't have.

Barn March 17th, 2011 5:01 PM

I was expecting more snow for Winter, it wasn't until Driftveil City that I got snow, and then in Icirrus and then it disappeared... I was disappointed, honestly. Winter was just pale colors and blue trees - still cool and gave a slight "winter" feel but they could've done more.

XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE March 18th, 2011 6:16 PM

I love the Seasons, gives a degree of realism in a pretty cool way :)

I'd have to say Spring is my favourite - everything looks so lush and plus: Spring Sawsbuck!! :D

Ho-Oh April 1st, 2011 6:32 AM

Omg, night in Mistralton in Winter looks amazing. I love the added effects of hail, looks so realistic and my God everything looks awesome. :D Winter > Autumn, so far. :3

I agree, I love Winter. :D Much better than boring Autumn. :<

I also wish the games utilised seasons more, instead of just certain places. :\

Mew~ April 1st, 2011 8:59 AM

As you can see, cynthia didn't know it just turned winter in Unova. xD

I guess my favourite would be Winter, we don't get enough snow here. :O

Nakuzami April 1st, 2011 2:09 PM

Winter is definately my favorite. The changes are more drastic and cooler, more areas are accessible, and Sawsbuck's winter form is so awesomesauce. That, plus just a few more things makes winter in the games amazing. Its also my favorite season in real life, and without the cold, it makes it that much more fun!

Rionix April 1st, 2011 2:36 PM

i will probably like spring as i like spring the most compare to other seasons.

Xyrin April 1st, 2011 8:44 PM

Am I the only one who HATES winter? I hate Sawsbuck in winter (I have one in my main team too. Blaagg) Maybe because in Indiana we've had WAAAYYY to much Snow and Winter. I liked Autumn better... And Sawsbuck is pwnage in fall.

The Nightmare April 1st, 2011 9:39 PM

My favourite is Winter. Defantly love the snow, you can also find ice type pokemon as what
Dragonite's Wrath just said.

Pokemon Trainer Touko April 2nd, 2011 2:32 AM

My favorites are Winter and Spring.
Winter because it's snowing
Spring because Shikijika turns pink! XD
However, I voted for Spring.

tjb90 April 2nd, 2011 3:43 AM

It is really cool that they added seasons to the games. It makes it really cool. I like how different things change with the seasons.

vaporeon7 April 2nd, 2011 4:22 AM

I like spring the best. This is mainly because I love the look of flower petals flying about in the air. I also love Deerling's spring form the best. Pink > green, brown and orange in my opinion. I can't wait for next month when I can experience it for the first time. So far I've only played in Autumn and Winter.
