'''Time''' is a mechanic in the [[Pokémon games]]. It was introduced in [[Generation II]] and has been a major component of almost all games released afterward. Time affects both the [[evolution]] of several {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and whether certain Pokémon can be found in the [[wild Pokémon|wild]]. Some events may take place at a specific time of day, or on a particular [[days of the week|day of the week]]. {{g|Legends: Arceus}} and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} use their own in-game time system and don't depend on the player or console's real time. | '''Time''' is a mechanic in the [[Pokémon games]].

{{g|Scarlet and Violet}} have their own time system, | {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} have their own time system, which with 1 real-life day equal to 20 in-game days. This time can be influenced by the player by altering the system clock prior to opening the game<ref>[https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1657609706775650304 Scarlet and Violet Day/Night Cycle Mechanics by Atrius97, via Twitter]</ref>, with the time value being determined when the game is first opened.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1657611236694196225</ref>. However, the day/night cycle does not begin until the player loads into the overworld, so any changes to the system clock while the game is loading or at the in-game start menu have no effect, the game will load the time from when the game was initially opened. The day/night cycle lasts 72 real minutes in total, repeating 20 times over the course of 24 hours. | ||
Opening the map by pressing Y will show an icon in the top-center of the map<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1657609709019623426</ref> indicating the time of day. This icon will dynamically update to show the current time period, however Morning does not have its own unique icon, instead sharing an icon with Day.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1657609710814765058</ref> | |||
There are two exceptions to the day/night cycle, the first being that during the tutorial, the time will be locked to Day until visiting [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} for the first time and obtaining {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}. | |||
[[Area Zero]] is also unaffected by the day/night cycle (with {{p|Flutter Mane}} being the only exception due to a [[Area_Zero#cite_note-1|quirk]]<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1647304950358106114 Flutter Mane Spawning Mechanics Quirk]</ref>), with time-exclusive species and forms spawning regardless of the current time in the rest of Paldea. | |||
The current time is shared between all players in the same instance while playing in co-op via [[Union Circle]], determined by the player hosting the group | The current time is shared between all players in the same instance while playing in co-op via [[Union Circle]], determined by the player hosting the group. | ||
