Time of day affect Pokemon Statues?

[Gutsman]

Do you think the time of the day will affect how well a Pokemon may be able to fight? If it's dealing with Hoot-Hoot or another night Pokemon than probaly...

 

[Poke'Blaze]

I don't think so, nothing like that happened in G/S/C.

 

[ilabb]

It'd be kinda sucky if my Noctowl kept falling asleep during the day while I'm trying to fight with it :/

Way to make a sucky Pokemon worse I guess

 

[Gutsman]

I don't mean making daytime put a Noctowl to sleep. I mean making a Noctowl stronger at night.

 

[Jupetta]

Hopefully not... though some Pokémon have Insomnia I wouldn't support it as it affects the gameplay too much to be desireable.

hell no .
that will not happen .

I don't mean making daytime put a Noctowl to sleep. I mean making a Noctowl stronger at night.

that wont happen IMO. unless it has a move like sythenis that recovers more depending ont he time of day, a noctowl move may do more then at night when dark than during the day.
maby something more like in the day time there is a higher chance of thawring [sp] from freezing than night.
during the day time maby a burn can induce more damage due to it being warmer, and at night less as it is cooler.
maby accuracy could be easily lowered at night as some pokemon cant see in the dark [that may be harder to input]
pokemon may take longer to wake up at night and take less time to awake during the day?

berty106 has the idea: this day/night deal won't be something to affect individual Pokemon rather the power of certain moves. Think about it: when you're playing someone in a different timezone over WiFi, whose clock should we go by to judge the power of your Pokemon?

In all, while an interesting ponderance, it fails to muster enough merit to warrant its addition.

Now what I'm more interested in is when we will see certain varieties of Pokemon during the times of day...hopefully we won't need to wait until night to get all the Ghost and Dark types like before. Just because they're spooky doesn't mean they need to be nocturnal.

 

[the_fifth_horseman]

i liked the idea of some pokemon only coming out at certain times of the day, but i think thats as far as it should go due to the difficulties with WiFi

 

[Deucalion]

Altering moves such as Moonlight, Synthesis and the like is all right, but actually altering the power of a pokemon according to time of day is not on.

 

[LyraDestiny]

People would take advantage of something like that anyway. They'd make a team which would get powered up at night then only battle at night or something.

 

[Savage X]

Probably not. That would be a lot harder when you think about it. Like you are battling an important trainer and your best Pokemon is lets say...dark and it's 8:00 in the mourning. Thad suck. But I think it was already said that you we be able to catch different Pokemon in light/dark.

 

[Latias74]

That would be neat. Like Pokemon awake in the day like Miltank (I think cows sleep at night) have a better chance of falling asleep when a Pokemon uses sleep moves, and vice verssa to nocturnal Pokemon like Noctowl.

 

[Dark Manaphy]

I doubt it would effect the power of certain pokemon. It will probably effect the power of a few moves, and the avalabily to find certain pokemon. Maybe on WiFi, the moves won't get boosts beacuse both people can be in different timezones.

 

[Reubo]

Well, if it made some pokemon fall asleep at day, and some at night, that would be plain old stupid. But if day/night raised/lowered the stats for pokemon, that would be a very good idea. It would be cool because you could gain an advantage by using the right pokemon at the right time of day. They'll hopefully introduce new nocturnal pokemon in D/P if they used that system.

 

[Mysticalman Luigi]

in vs battling you can have another time too ,you do not need wifi for that ....

 

[Metal Force]

No I don't think it's gonna happen, & why should they be stronger in a t ime of a day?...they have states & they won't change until you level up/give'em vitamins/use cretain moves/hold items that's it.

UNDERLINED: We have something like that on FFXI, Eszett, and it's a GREAT thing you brought that up. To cope with timezones on the online game during gameplay, the game itself has its own time schedule and weekday schedule.

The game's 'weeks' run for a phase of 3 hours (there are 8 days of the week instead of 7 in the game based upon 8 elements - Light, Dark, Fire, Water, Lightning, Earth, Wind and Ice). Several events take place during the days, such as fighting a summoning spirit (Avatar or Avatar Prime) on the days of their weakness (Light = Dark, Water > Fire > Ice > Wind > Earth > Lightning > Water etc.), synthesizing materials with elemental crystals on their elemental days for better results, Notorious Monster spawning etc.

With timezones in real life, usually certain countries are online at certain times. For night time in the US, the Japanese players are on / For daytime in the US, the Japanese players are asleep (I know some Japanese people who are playing during the late hours for them) / For afternoon in the US, Europeans are on at night etc.

BOLD: Another good and excellent point, Eszett. Usually gameplay night times are always the time for Undead creatures. HOWEVER, there are some areas in online games where Undead creatures are active during all gameplay time. Such places as the caves or the Undead city in FFXI, Necropolis, where ghosts, skeletons, float-eyes, shadows (VERY lethal, shadows are 'dark' characters of the playable characters) and doomed (moving flesh, anyone?).

Hopefully, Nintendo and GameFreak would have to know about these elements Eszett and I are pointing out.

 

[Golde]

that would be a good idea, as long as its not too drastic ) (Especially if it happens when you fight the elite 4!)

No, if anything, I think Nocturnals are more easily put to sleep at day time and vice-versa for the non-nocturnals. And they wake up easier if they arent supposed to be asleep.

2 hard...... keep it the same
