The '''midnight exploit''' in [[bp:Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond/Pearl]]/[[bp:Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], [[bp:Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]], [[bp:Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black and White]], [[bp:Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 Versions|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] and [[bp:Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun and Moon]] allows certain daily events to re-occur.
 
It can be performed simply by changing the date on the Nintendo DS or Nintendo 3DS system, and the player does not have to wait a full day.
Line 9 ⟶ 11:
Some, if not all of the 'midnight exploitable' events will not re-occur by waiting for the clock to turn midnight on the Nintendo DS firmware. The player may have to actually be in game.
 
In Pokémon Black and White, the player hasmay have to wait a short while after midnight (according to the C-Gear) but before 00:01 to get the event to change for reasons unknown.
 
In [[bp:Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X and Y]] it appears that the midnight trick can no longer be exploited for events where it would be the only known cheating method{{generalization}}. There is no known way to use it to change the café Pokémon or reactivate the Sweet Heart event.
 
However, there are events in Pokémon X and Y that can be altered simply by changing the date, including the boutique items for sale and people at the hotels. Those events can be altered with the midnight exploit. These tests were done on a non-updated version of Pokémon X with a Ver. 7.1.0-16E Nintendo 3DS running it.

Line 17 ⟶ 23:
#Start the game, wait until midnight (this can be checked with the Digital Watch Pokétch app).
