@BucketMouseBite @Voultar I appreciate the responses. I'll check for bridging, I'm a novice and they were some of my first attempts. I thought the crystal was unlikely too but that's what I'd try after that, I guess.
@Voultar can't find the answer to this question anywhere and thought you may know: Replaced a battery in a Pokemon Gold, it saves, time advances, but not at a real time rate. How would that happen? I replace batteries in my Silver and Crystal at the same time and they op normal.
@eyesonbee I don't care if someone doesn't, but I care if they do. π Does that make any sense?
Like, no judgements or gatekeeping whatsoever. But if someone makes the effort to use hardware I respect, notice, and enjoy it.
