D/P Birthdays

[The Outrage]

Well since Diamond snow is apparantly related to certain days of the year, and the game cart works off the game's calendar, I wanted to see if anything happened during one's birthday.

Well its my Birthday today, and I checked.

Apparantly something does happen, when you go talk to your opposite gender rival...

Spoiler

They ask if its your birthday and says Happy Birthday

I realy dont understand why gamefreak dont tell people about things like this.
Nice find Outrage =]

 

[The Outrage]

Wonder if there's anything else?

 

[Tina]

Maybe try going to Twinleaf and talking to your mom. If she says nothing about a birthday I 'll be surprised.

 

[The Outrage]

She didn't.

Once I finish with the SSE Cut Scenes on Youtube, I'll go visit my rival at Stark Mountain and Professor Oak, and maybe Dawn's Sister.

Also the direct quote:

Dawn: Is today maybe...
Your Birthday <name>? [yes/no]

[pick yes]
Dawn: Giggle....
Congratulations, <name>!
And many more happy returns!

[pick no]
Dawn: Oh it isn't?
I wonder what made me think that
today was your birthday?

 

[Ino-Chan]

That's kinda weird that your mom doesn't say anything.

 

[Calvin]

YO MAMA FORGOT UR BIRTHDAY!

Just kidding.

But it is weird that a rival knows and your mom doesn't.

BTW, does Dawn / Lucas give you anything?

 

[Green Cherrim]

Ew, why does Dawn/Lucas know? Is s/he a STALKER?!

 

[Ino-Chan]

Maybe...... That's so cool though.

 

[Virtual-Z]

Awww so nice of your girlfriend to say Happy Birthday to you!
I need to wait until to June to see this but nice find either way.

Ew, why does Dawn/Lucas know? Is s/he a STALKER?!

Eh. It took you that long to notice?

EDIT: Wow. It really does work. Nintendo was really on a roll this gen.

Or, you know, you could change the birthday setting on the DS to see it right now instead of waiting months to see one small piece of text that's otherwise irrelevant. Or just view it on YouTube or something.

Still, with things like this running around, it makes you wonder just how much obscure stuff is in there. Someone should document it all. Taking a look at a text dump of the game couldn't hurt either.

No you can't, already tried it. Although, yes, YouTube is a safe bet.

 

[Lesley_GSC]

Really? Changing the date worked for me.

If you're Dawn, Lucus says

Congratulations, <name>!
I'm really glad we're friends

My birthday was in January
