Seasons, daily events and weekly activities
Use the four-month season cycle and repeatable sequel activities to plan return visits.
Nintendo DS sequels; not the original Black and White story.
The calendar changes the season
| Season | Real-world months |
|---|---|
| Spring | January, May, September |
| Summer | February, June, October |
| Autumn | March, July, November |
| Winter | April, August, December |
Season affects appearance, selected encounter slots and access through snow in certain places. Leave and re-enter an area when checking a change. A species table’s season condition matters more than its regional number.
Choose a repeatable routine
Nimbasa sports trainers, Join Avenue visitors and shops, daily item services, and the Royal Unova offer repeatable goals. Each has its own access and time condition. Keep a small list of the activities that actually serve your current team, rather than waiting on every service each day.
Weekly encounters use their own source
Route 4’s Braviary or Mandibuzz encounter is version and weekday dependent. Check the gift and stationary encounter guide and original source before travelling. Changing the system clock can disrupt timed events; normal calendar progression is the dependable route.
Check your version, story progress and difficulty before using a location or battle record. These guides cover the original Nintendo DS sequels.
