I love Pokemon. I've been playing it my whole life, and I like to think I have a better grasp on the series than most. I can comfortably name each of the 1000+ Pokemon from an image, and I imagine I could do 75%+ from a silhouette. There are very few times when games in the series can make me feel stupid.
Sure, I might release a Spewpa that evolves into a rare Vivillon form, but that's an honest mistake. Taking two weeks to realize that the mini-map in Pokemon Legends: Z-A is an indicator of how long is left in each day/night cycle, though. Unforgivable.
I've put over 100 hours into Pokemon Legends: Z-A since it launched on October 16. I've completed the main story and the Pokedex, got the shiny charm, and have used that to procure 80 unique shiny Pokemon (and dozens of duplicates). But in all my time, and all my exploration, I just assumed I had to use the visual cues, like the setting of the sun, to figure out the day/night cycle. I was wrong.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A's mini-map is also a clock. It has a little bar around it that...
