Unlike Generation II, [[Generation III]] had no separate time periods, or even an ability to check the time in-game unless the player traveled back to [[Littleroot Town]], where they had set an analog clock at the beginning of the game. Also, unlike Generation II, the time-based events were very few and extremely far between, with the clock mostly running to keep track of the growth of planted [[Berry|Berries]] ([[Berry glitch|although this was not completely foolproof]]). Additionally, there was no way to change the clock in this generation, not even for daylight saving time. | Unlike Generation II, [[Generation III]] had no separate time periods, or even an ability to check the time in-game unless the player traveled back to [[Littleroot Town]], where they had set an analog clock at the beginning of the game.

There were, however, some time-based functions in the games. For example, [[Shoal Cave]]'s water level would change every six hours, at 3:00 and 9:00 a.m. and p.m. (03:00, 09:00, 15:00, 21:00). Just the same, Eevee would be able to evolve into Espeon if the in-game time was between 12:00 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. (12:00 - 23:59). Eevee would be able to evolve into Umbreon if the in-game time was between 12:00 a.m. and 11:59 a.m. (00:00 - 11:59). | There were, however, some time-based functions in the games.

Although a small part of the game, some events occur on a daily basis. [[Lilycove Department Store]] gives out Pokémon Loto Tickets for the [[Pokémon Lottery Corner]], with the winning number changing daily. An old man who lives in [[Pacifidlog Town]] looks out for {{gdis|Mirage Island|III}}, and will, every day, generate a random number between 0 and 65535 and if this number matches the personality value of any of the Pokémon in the party, Mirage Island will appear in the game. | Although a small part of the game, some events occur on a daily basis.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, however, the time function is completely absent, allowing it to be more like the [[Generation I]] games. This also makes it impossible for Eevee to evolve into either Espeon or Umbreon in these games. In order to do so, the player would have to trade Eevee to [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]] or [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]] and have it evolve in one of those games. The same holds true for [[Pokémon Colosseum]], where Espeon and Umbreon are obtainable as [[starter Pokémon]]. In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]], Eevee can only be evolved into Espeon or Umbreon by a method that is not time-dependent, the [[Sun Shard|Sun]] and [[Moon Shard]]s. | In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, however, the time function is completely absent, allowing it to be more like the [[Generation I]] games.
