​How to Skip Time in Pokopia​

Pokopia’s day and night cycle is influenced by real time. Depending on the AM and PM of your system, the time of day will be reflected in-game as well. To change the time, all you need to do is head over to your Nintendo system settings and scroll down to find the system option. Find the Date and Time option and select Current Date and Time while turning off the “Synchronise Clock via Internet” option. ​

Over here, you can advance the day and time by changing the required setting. Once done, click OK and head back into the game. The time and date set on your system will reflect in-game, too. I found that changing time is a great way to advance the gameplay and help unlock items and Pokémon that would otherwise take me several hours or days. ​
