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.

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. :)

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

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...

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...

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.)

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
