Day-night cycle

The day/night cycle in Pokémon 3D is the real-time cycle and is set after the clock of the computer the game is executed on. There are four different phases that appear at different times: Morning, Day, Evening, and Night.

The phases

There are set times when time phases change.

Phase	Image	Times	Description
Morning		5 AM - 9 AM	In the morning, the sky is cloudy and orange because the sun is rising. There is also a special version of this phase, called aurora borealis. In 1 out of 250 cases this occurs. It changes the sky color to a darker orange color and adds aurora effects to the clouds.
Day		9 AM - 6 PM	The day has a light blue sky with white clouds. It lasts for 10 hours.
Evening		6 PM - 10 PM	In the evening, sky gets darker and the clouds are light blue - light pink colored.
Night		10 PM - 5 AM	The night is the darkest phase. It lasts for 6 hours. The sky is clear and one can see the stars.
