I knew there were possibilities of fixing the issue using a DS and flash cart but for those without DS I figured this could help. I’m also sure in pkhex if you spent enough time adjusting the times you could get the date and time to match up with the real world date and time as well although I haven’t messed around with that part as much. I appreciate you posting another option for the fix here! Always love seeing more info

When you install a new battery, the RTC (real time clock) restarts from 01/01/2000. The game keeps track of played hours, so if you (for example) have played for 10 years and then the battery died you should wait others 10 years to reach the "next day" in-game. Glad to see that this can be fixed directly with PKHeX. Personally I use this little homebrew software. That can be used either with a GBA/GBA SP with a GBA flashcart (like EZ Flash Omega) or with a DS/DS lite with a DS flashcart (like R4).
