So, I just finished getting all the harvest sprites except Rainbow. In order to get Rainbow, I was told I need to visit the sprites at a certain time of the day. Once translated into my time, I figured out that I would need to get up and come online between 6am and 8am (according to information given to me) I came online at around 7:30am (my time) to discover I was already too late. I asked someone else and figured it to be between 5am and 7am, So I came on at 6:45 but again I was too late. I can't get on any earlier, it's too early for me to be online, which means that I am unlikely to be able to get Rainbow. In a few weeks, due to daylight-savings, it will be even earlier, 4am-6am.
I am sure I am not the only user who has a time difference which would make the Rainbow time-slot rather difficult, if not impossible. I think that this is unfair because it means that some users will be unable to get certain pokemon.
So, my suggestion is that there shouldn't be any time-related quests where you need to be online at a certain time. I'm not really talking about events, like speed-clicks and that sort of thing, just the side quests like the Harvest Sprites and other Ancient Cave quests.
An alternative would be a way to factor in your local time. So we would still have PH time which wouldn't change, but perhaps you could set your own time for quests. I don't know much about the technical side of things though so I don't know if this is possible. Any other suggestions for ways of doing this would be appreciated.

Living in Eastern Australia (NSW) i need to be up between 2-3am to be able to get this particular quest done.
Something that im just not going to do.
It just seems a big inconvenience and disadvantage to us who live in different time zones.

Considering the amount of effort it takes to get this far in the quest, to find out I am not able to finish it is not only disappointing, but also rather stressful for me as I don't like leaving things unfinished.

I got Staid back before the clicklist update, so I had to spend ages clicking really slowly just in case I missed him (despite this I still managed to miss him twice).
Aqua was also really hard, literally hours spent clicking and then pausing during coinflip to make sure I didn't miss him.
The Route 53 one, (I forgot his name), I spent 87 pokeballs and 10 great balls on before I caught him.
To go through all of this, and then not be able to complete it simply because I live in the wrong time-zone, is very frustrating.
I understand that not everything should be easy, in fact I like hard challenges more than easy ones because they give more of a sense of accomplishment. But this challenge is not just hard for some of us, it is pretty much impossible.

Sorry about the confusion, I guess this can be moved to rejected now. :P
