5th Gen Pokémon Black and White - Seasons

[Unknown Trainer]

I think an AC format of seasons would be good for Pokemon. Hey, so you have to wait a couple of months to complete your fishy collection? So why not wait a couple of months to get your Pokeymanz? It makes you feel more accomplished when you get that Pokemon you've been wanting for a long time.

:D

I agree lol Sure filling up the Pokedex is always a pain, but its worth the wait. As far as the seasons go, i think it's a very kool idea! =) It reminds me of Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons lol

Yeah it does give you that feeling of Accomplishment :)

But seasons last like; 2-3 months. >:O I don't want it to be winter in the game for soo long. I'd be finish with the game by then.

Exactly. This reminds me of Animal Crossing, with the seasons matching in real time. I don't want to do everything during one season and then have to wait two-to-three months for something new to come along, or to get certain Pokemon. I'd like for them to change faster.

I still like the idea though. It makes the Pokemon world that much more real, as an actual world with climates and history and everything like that.

Decent idea, but hope there aren't season-exclusive Pokemon. I could forget playing my DS even when im waiting for a Pokemon to appear in a specific season. :(

I have been waiting for this feature forever and a day, thanks Game Freak!!!

If the seasons are just for looks, not affecting Pokemon rarities or availability than I will be happy. If it DOES take 2-3 months to have more Pokemon available to me, that too is fine. I am a pretty laid back guy, I do not believe in hacking, I always take pride in my in-game accomplishments. If I have to wait for something, it makes it more worthwhile. It saddens me to see people play the game solely for competitive reasons, its a GAME, which is meant to be enjoyed. These games will have plenty of longevity/replay value, which is well appreciated from me.=)

I do as well, I don't mind waiting 2-3 months to get a Pokemon :)

Then again, you have a whole season to remind yourself to get those Pokemon added to your collection. Plenty of time to pace yourself.

On that note, I hope they pack the game full of season exclusives to keep me occupied. I wouldn't mind seeing holidays too. Sure, some people don't believe in those holidays, but hey, Animal Crossing did it and no one filed a lawsuit.

I really like the idea of seasons, and I don't think I'd mind having to wait 2-3 months for the seasons to change because it would be more realistic that way. In Animal Crossing I used to ocassionally change the date if I needed something from another season, the only problem with that was weeds xD

 

[Morgnarok]

Well,It doesn't sound like the best or worst idea they had but we will see when the time comes.

 

[o0PinkSquid0o]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Everyone: Argue with this logic! XD

I will argue... I don't wait 3 or 4 seasons to complete my fish collection.. I get bored so i fastforward the clock... I am sure lots of people do or have done this...

Yeah, I expect all of those who don't want to wait will fast forward while those of us who would wait 3 months won't fast forward :)

 

[Ho-Oh]

I really love the seasons idea, however I don't think it'll go along with actual time.

Instead, I think it'll be determined for a week based on your ID number, as to when you get different seasons. You might get winter for two weeks in a row, but nothing more than that, or...! It varies between days, or it could be tied into the storyline, (which matches the other idea) like... about going back in time, and then in each point the seasons change and something relevant happens, idk. D:

...actually all of those ideas are unlikely, I just can't wait to see it in-game.

 

[vibratingcat]

haha sounds pretty cool. Shame i will be importing it from japan so the seasons would be opposite.

 

[ionbru xp]

I hope Australia and the rest of the southern hemisphere get opposite seasons :)
in animal crossing having snowfall during our summer was really weird...

 

[Kanto_Johto]

Real time seasons?

You have got to be kidding me. Terrible idea. Having to wait 3 months, 6 months or even 9 months to get a Pokemon is a ridiculously long time. I'd lose a lot of respect for GF if they included that.

 

[MistahDude]

If you watched the new trailer, you may have noticed that seasons are apparently included in the 5th Gen. What do you think it'll be like?

I hope that we get season-exclusive Pokémon, like the Pokémon that we can only fin at certain times of the day, or days of the week!!!!!!!! :D

I hope these will be real seasons, like on Animal Crossing; not fake seasons that change throughout the week, or something like that.

I also think that we will see special forms of Pokémon, depending on the season (something like the forms of Burmy).

Somehow I think that seasons wont be on every route, and I also dont think Pokemon will be relative to seasons.

I dont want to wait months for a certain pokemon.

 

[giradialkia]

The inclusion of seasons? Hell yes. I don't even know why, but I just think it's really cool. However, I doubt, and would seriously hate if Pokemon were to become exclusive to a certain season. Yeah, you could probably fast forward, but that'd probably screw up something else, like transferring from the Gen 4 games.
So... Seasons= Yay. Season Exclusive Pokemon= Nay.

 

[WarpstarX]

I time travel all the time in Animal Crossing and in PKMN:SS so if pokemon were exclusive to different seasons (which I actually doubt a bit) It wouldn't be a problem.

 

[Blueknight]

Maybe this is how we'll get leafeon/glaceon. Level up eevee in the winter to get glaceon. Of course we could always give leafeon a leaf stone.

I've always been bugged by faster-than-normal day/night cycles. 24 hours is more reasonable to wait out than months, but I'd be happier personally with a calendar-accurate seasonal system. Assuming it's a game-wide phenomenon, it would present some fun challenge-play throughs. I don't think it will be (unless there's a reason they're releasing all this stuff in the summer), but it's nice to hope. You can change the date and stuff if you really gotta have something from another season, anyways.
