==Generation III==
==Generation III==
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. The overworld lighting does not change during different times of the day. 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.


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).

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.

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.
