Time: Difference between revisions

In [[Generation II]], the changing time of day was a highly touted feature for the games; several Pokémon were even designed with this in mind, such as {{p|Hoothoot}} and {{p|Noctowl}}, while others would only appear in certain areas at certain [[Nocturnal Pokémon|times]] [[Matutinal Pokémon|of]] [[Diurnal Pokémon|day]].

{{p|Eevee}} was given two [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|new evolutions]] to take advantage of the changing time: {{p|Espeon}}, which it would become if its [[friendship]] maxed out during the morning or day, and {{p|Umbreon}}, which it would become if its friendship maxed during the night.

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 he or she 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.
