Speaking of Connor I came into the first town and there happened to be a permanent sun effect on the game, only up until the field where you meet Hardy, but every area before that has a sun effect for some reason. It even triggered it during Connor's fight I've noticed as well as the audino trainer in town, even going into the cave underneath the waterfall had it as well, I'm not sure if this was in base game though but it didn't seem like it should've been there.
