Seasons are a mechanic of the Pokémon games. The concept was introduced in Generation V with Pokémon Black and White.
Much as Generation II introduced time and days of the week to the Pokémon series, and Generation IV used the Nintendo DS's internal clock to keep track of the date of capture of a particular Pokémon, seasons are a new feature introduced in Generation V. Unlike in the real world, where each season lasts for approximately three sequential months, the seasons in Isshu will change each month, going through the full cycle of spring, summer, autumn, and winter three times per year.
Effects
Shikijika and its evolution Mebukijika are known to change forms with the seasons.
Some places, the wild Pokémon will vary from season to season. For example, Chobomaki is very normal in the summer, but rare in the winter. The only places this occurs is in Route 8, Sekka Moor, Dragon Spiral Tower and Sazanami Bay. Secondly, some areas are only accessed in a specific season.
Spring
Springtime weather appears in January, May, and September.
Summer
Summer weather appears in February, June, and October.
Autumn
Autumn weather appears in March, July, and November.
Winter
Winter weather appears in April, August, and December.
Trivia
- As February is included among the months considered as summer, it is the shortest season on average. Where the other seasons each last a total of 92 days in a real-time year, summer lasts a total of 89 days or, in case of a leap year, 90 days.
- When summer and winter start in the northern hemisphere of the real world, the same season is in effect in-game. This is not true for spring and autumn, whereas it is spring in-game when autumn starts in real life and vice versa. The opposite is true for the southern hemisphere: real-world spring and autumn start in months with their respective in-game seasons, while summer and winter start in in-game winter and summer respectively.
