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. |

6 PM - 10 PM | In the evening, sky gets darker and the clouds are light blue - light pink colored. |
| Night |
