[Implemented] Lights in Cities

[Iziksquirel]

I did a quick search and didn't see this anywhere (if it IS somewhere I apologize terribly)

But with the addition to night-time in the game would it be difficult to change the cities slightly so that there are lamp posts or lights shining through the windows?

Celadon is terrifying during the night time, what with the casino being RIGHT THERE with Rocket Grunts pouring out every time someone looks behind a poster.

Not to mention the random creepy old man watching you from behind his random pond.

... and that empty hotel that is always full. WHO SLEEPS THERE IT'S ONLY ONE FLOOR!

*takes a breath*

So yeah, lights shining through the windows to slightly illuminate the city would be nice

If possible, of course.



EDIT:

In addition! Can we also add in some kind of flashlight/torch item that illuminates your character? Or if a Pokemon that emits light is following you (Example: Lanturn, Charmander, Ampharos) that it would light up a little bit aswell? Maybe if they use Flash?

Once again x.x just a suggestion!

This, surprisingly,seems like a good idea to me.

It would make the cities more appealing. +1
By the way, you can turn off weather rendering in the settings if you prefer the daytime graphics.

Oh don't get me wrong, I don't dislike it. I think it's very nice that they went through the trouble of adding it. I was just wondering if this could be added aswell ;

[Dougington]

I love it but doubt it'll be added any time soon since a feature like this wasn't around till 4th gen if my memory serves correct.

It was also in 2nd gen.

On topic:
I support this majorly. I love big city lights (IRL). But I see this being more of a mapping issue, along side with client issue, so it could be kinda difficult to make. But don't quote me on that.

I sort of skipped second gen. (I'm a monster I know )

And yeah the map would have to have an IPS patch.

support! great idea

I feel like the devs might need to make that IPS patch... but then they'd be assisting with roms... is that legal?

This is too good of a suggestion to easily figure out.

Honestly no idea, I don't even know if the IPS patch would work.

I'm no pro with patching roms, but this is what I can guess could happen. There being a way that the windows change every 3-4 hours. But then how would the IPS patch know that... Maybe the client could call the IPS patch to come on?

Damn this is hard. We need a bigger nerd to help us out.

I'm honestly just sitting here smiling blankly and staring at the screen trying to imagine what you guys are talking about 8D

[NaitDawg]

It takes coordination with server time data. I don't see this being created by any normal members.

[MinyBoy5]

I love it when a game focuses on atmosphere by adding small effects like this, it helps add to the role playing part. I fully agree and support this idea and other idea like this.

[EposVox]

It's legal to provide the IPS patches, just not the ROMs. I support this.

[Nebula]

Support. This and shadows is what the game needs.

[SgtAsh]

You nailed it. Great suggestion. +1

[Akshit]

This is by far the most innovative and thoughtful suggestion that I ever read!! +1
*Thought Lanturn cant follow since I believe its not in-game*

[Nebula]

Certain pokemon overworld sprites should have the same glow.

[Darkshade]

Yeah stuff like this can come in the future, and no, there would be no way to effectively do this with ROM patches, at least not without additional client support.
