New Game Freak Title Ame nochi Hare Onna Announced! A Laundry Game Synchronizing With Real-World Weather

Ame nochi Hare Onna is a brand-new mobile game from Game Freak, the creators of the Pokémon series.
The story follows the Hare Onna—girls who maintain normal weather and brighten people's hearts—and their divine messenger partners, the Kumorin, as they bring brightness and sunshine across Japan.

The game's most prominent feature is its weather integration, incorporating high-precision meteorological data provided by Weathernews Inc. directly into the gameplay system.
Real-world weather conditions—such as sunny, rainy, cloudy, or snowy—dramatically alter the in-game experience.

While living normal high school lives, the Hare Onna borrow the power of their Kumorin partners to don their Haregi and transform into their Hare-Sugata to confront entities causing abnormal weather.
After patrols and battles soil their Haregi, players must do the laundry to wash them clean, restoring their condition in preparation for the next patrol.
