'''Darkness''' is an overworld obstacle in several games. This usually hinders the player's progress as they can't properly see how to navigate dark places, unless the darkness can be removed. | |||

In the [[core series]], most dark places are [[cave]]s, although there some other dark places as well. In most cases (except when stated below), darkness can be removed by the [[field move]] {{m|Flash}} or the [[Secret Technique]] Light Up. | In the [[core series]], most dark places are [[cave]]s, although there some other dark places as well.

Removing darkness is never required to advance gameplay, as darkened areas are still navigable, albeit with varying amounts of difficulty. | |||
===Effects=== | |||
* In [[Generation I]], the darkness effect causes cave floors, the player, and all Trainers to become black silhouettes (effectively making them invisible against the background) and dims most other tiles such as cave walls and ladders. The overworld Start menu and text boxes also get a blue tint applied to them. | |||
** In {{game|Yellow}}, the {{ga|Red's Pikachu|starter Pikachu}}'s shock interaction (the player interacting with Pikachu shortly after it learning {{m|Thunder}} or {{m|Thunderbolt}}) will very briefly remove darkness for the duration of the animation only. | |||
* In Generation II, the entire screen is depicted as pitch black except for cave exits and items, causing all walls to be invisible. | |||
* Between Generations III and V, a small circle around the player is fully lit while the rest of the screen is black, and using Flash will expand the circle. | |||
** In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the circle will expand until a majority of the screen is lit, but it will not light the whole screen. | |||
** In FireRed, LeafGreen, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, the circle will expand until the whole screen is lit. | |||
** In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the circle has a gradient around its rim, and it will expand until all but the corners of the screen are lit. | |||
** In Generation V, the circle is now proportional to the overworld grid (causing it to appear elliptical and conform to the shapes of slopes and rocks). | |||
* In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, dark areas are merely dimly lit instead of being fully dark in any capacity. | |||
* In Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, the ground appears as a flat light grey while faraway and nearby entities appear as silhouettes in increasingly darker shades of grey. | |||
