Sun Shard: Difference between revisions

In [[Gateon Port]]'s Machine Parts Shop, a man will give the player a choice between five items: the {{evostone|Fire Stone}}, the {{evostone|Water Stone}}, the {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, the Sun Shard, and the Moon Shard. This is essentially where the player decides what they will evolve their {{p|Eevee}} into.

These items were included in XD due to Eevee's ([[Generation III|then]]) unique method of evolution: leveling up when at a sufficient [[friendship]] level at a specific [[time]] of day. While Eevee can become an Espeon or Umbreon in other games through use of the realtime clock, this was not possible in XD. This game, like {{g|Colosseum}}, was not programmed to use the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]'s clock, meaning that time-based events cannot occur in this game. As the developers wanted players to have Espeon and Umbreon available as choices at the same time as the other Eeveelutions, these items were made available to the player as a choice at the same time as the {{evostone|Fire Stone}}, {{evostone|Water Stone}}, and {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, which allow the player to evolve Eevee into its Generation I evolutions.
