I've experienced a rare sunset once, and it was gorgeous. Have they happened to you? And how often do they occur?

I've seen a rare sunrise twice, but it was nothing like that picture. It was completely and entirely purple. No pink, all of it was that purple color. I've also seen one rare sunset. Yeah, I'd like to know when exactly these days occur, or if they're just at random. Some people could get a kick out of setting their Dream Codes to those times.

Rare Sunrise once from what I remember. It was before 7am, so 6:40amish?
It wasn't as purple as that (But still very pretty, blue and purple~). My thoughts are from the time I got onto the game in the morning, it was likely dimming.

I think I have seen the Rare Sunset before? Twice? Sorry I can't remember.

I recently got a gorgeous orange sunrise and saved my current DA on it xD Not sure if it was the same as in the picture, but it looked different from what I had previously seen.

Ah perhaps it was sunset haha, I forgot it was evening

I don't think I've ever seen these, can't wait to see my first one and take pics

I didn't even know this could happen; pretty neat!

I think I got a sunset like that awhile ago. I'm going to try setting my DA to a sunrise

I've seen a rare sunset about 10 times and never seen a rare sunrise. I read somewhere that it's completely random, and that for each town there's a set date for when these happen. I don't know or think it's true since this source where I read it isn't exactly "reliable".

I had one of the sunrises once...

I thought for SURE that was a sign something terrible was gonna happen.

I've seen the rare sunset a couple times, I just remember thinking "wow, everything looks so much more red/orange than usual" and I didn't really think anything else of it.

The rare sunrise is really pretty! Although I've never seen a normal sunrise in ACNL to compare it to

Edit: I didn't realize this was an old thread being bumped~

I've never experienced the rare sunrise but it looks so pretty. The rare sunset I've experienced once or twice.

 

[FancyThat]

I've experienced the red sunset a few times, and on the island,

I haven't seen the sunrise yet I don't think.

Woah never heard of rare sunsets before, guess im on the look out c: they look magnificent

 

[Nimega]

I've gotten the rare sunset twice or three times, but I haven't ever gotten the rare sunrise! Well, and I haven't been awake for sunrise either... Haha

 

[snapdragon]

Wow! I've never seen these before! They are beautiful! :>

 

[CrossAnimal]

I don't wanna get up that early! (whining/stomping/crying)

I'm getting a rare sunset, but the clouds are blocking it.

I?ve seen the rare orange sunset only a few times in my town in the summer season, and I`ve seen the purple sunrise in a dream town I visited a few months ago. I normally don?t play that early c:

I don't think I've seen a single one? Knowing how oblivious I can be sometimes, I've probably missed a few.
