You guys have FAR to much thought and not enough practicality.. people keep wanting new monsters..well do you want 8 new monsters or 2 new monsters and a bunch of complex and random weather effects that are almost entirely aesthetic? =P

Also, Status ailments that are brought on by randomly changing weather? would you ACCTUALLY enjoy fighting in those conditions? or did you forget this would have to be playable aswell? XD

Also the lighting mechanic was removed from Portable 3rd to save graphical space and they, aparently, preferred it as it was.
