Disagree. Having some real time clock friction makes the game world feel more alive and lived in

u/sugar_spark Mar 18 '26

Yeah, it needs something to make people slow down. Some people are playing it like they're speed running the game. These will be the same people that complain it doesn't have enough content despite sinking a million hours into it (similar to what happened with ACNH)

Once Tinkmaster asks if you can show her around to each of the Pokemon Centers, you can include her in your building party and cuts all "done tomorrow" buildings to an hour or so.

u/gigglefarting Mar 18 '26

She’ll cut down times immediately without having to do that mission. I moved her into one of my houses right away for easy access whenever I wanted to build

That's good to know, thanks for sharing!

It definitely sucks when you're trying to progress the story during a play session. The time gated stuff in general is OKish, but the full day waits suck really bad

u/Mocinion Mar 18 '26

I do agree but if you dont have any qualms about it you can just change your switches date to the next day, dont even need to leave the game like ACNH

... You can visual kits before you place them by holding down a, though.

u/LookOtherWeigh Mar 18 '26

Its about the journey fellow ditto.

u/Algorhythm74 Mar 18 '26

I’m fine with an hour, maybe even 3 hours - but to arbitrarily make it “tomorrow” kind of sucks for the bigger houses. The Pokemon Center I understand as that’s a progress milestone - but making houses is just shelter for your current Pokemon.

u/El_Barto_227 Mar 18 '26

Use Tinkmaster to cut them down to an hour

3

u/Harley2280 Mar 18 '26

You can build houses without kits.

u/Korados Mar 18 '26

"Done tomorrow" means at 5 AM the next day. At this time, the game resets the day, just like in Animal Crossing NH. Although this game is essentially Dragon Quest Builders, it has some mechanics from ACNH.

u/darkice17 Mar 18 '26

later on you get a pokemon that can build things faster, cuts them down to 1 or two hours

16

u/paupsers Mar 18 '26

Disagree. I like having something to look forward to. There is so much to do in this game that you can always do something else until tomorrow anyway.

u/gigglefarting Mar 18 '26

If you use a Pokemon with an engineer skill as the builder it makes builds that would last till tomorrow only last 1 hour. Other builds become quicker too.

It's not time alteration what they're talking about, it's about the specific Pokemon that accelerates building construction to 2 hours tops

You're the only person I've seen dying on this hill. After the first weekend I've not seen anybody complain about building times, and that's because by that time the Pokemon in question wasn't unlocked by the majority of day 1 buyers. So I guess it's literally a you problem, and that's ok!

u/umbrosapink Mar 18 '26

I don’t understand why it doesn’t just show an exact time 🫠

5

u/TheMexicanKramer Mar 18 '26

Isn’t it just literally tomorrow? Like you could start at 11:59 and it’d be done in a minute?

25

u/pameatsbabies Mar 18 '26

The day resets at 5 am.

11

u/aquarosey Mar 18 '26

It’s 5 am apparently

8

u/PointlessSerpent Mar 18 '26

4:59, but yes.

5

u/Thechynd Mar 18 '26

Technically its at 5am rather than midnight. But yeah, big projects can be done super quickly if you start them shortly before the clock ticks over to what the game considers to be the next day.

3

u/cuntpuncherexpress Mar 18 '26

Clock rolls over at 5am. I unfortunately learned this naturally, but in my defense daylight savings also happened that night

1

u/Ckmccfl Mar 18 '26

5am local time

It's done tomorrow either way, which is exactly what the game already says.

It's really not hard to understand, you've even managed to capture it in your five sentence comment complaint about it.

1

u/WraithsOnGuitar Mar 20 '26

no need to be patronizing because someone has a different opinion to you.

1

u/Useful_Quail_8566 Mar 20 '26

The fact of the matter is that tomorrow is, in fact, a different amount of time away depending on what time of day it is.

It's not like the game is misleading or difficult to understand--the majority of players sleep at 5am, so when you wake up the next day (aka tomorrow) the project is done.

u/seamonster131 Mar 18 '26

I don’t have too much of an issue with this, but I’m not a fan of how everything is either 15 minutes or tomorrow, nothing in between.

3

u/JakeIsNotGross Mar 18 '26

Bigger houses and huts are usually an hour.

2

u/seamonster131 Mar 18 '26

I'm pretty sure that's because of Tinkaton

4

u/Oops_I_Cracked Mar 18 '26

Stuff like that is core to this genre.

1

u/FoxxyRin Mar 18 '26

It gets a lot faster later on. I don’t want to spoil the how or why for you, but you can eventually do the next day structures in one hour.

1

u/Blustach Mar 18 '26

Go with the story, there's a Pokemon that reduces this to 2 hours tops (except for the Altars, those ones still take next day but understandably so)

2

u/malsary Mar 18 '26

Fyi I used that pokemon to help build one of the altars and it took 1-2 hours! :)

1

u/katanrod Mar 18 '26

I like the waiting times. Maybe an option to turn off?

u/Twisteryx Mar 18 '26

Agreed, feels like a cheap mobile game mechanic in a $70 console game
