I don't see the point in making time events in this game, People are just gonna change there time in order to do the event, Its just a waste of time. Its not like im gonna say to myself, "Its Friday! Lets go catch Lapras"
As for catching it, Its a pokemon good for starting off the game with if you pick a Fire or Grass starter, Because i got Totadile. Its pretty much useless.
You actually need to set it to Thursday and wait 24 hrs. Game safeguard.
Well, i really don't like altering the DS clock to have it quicly, i like to wait for the in game events and i don't have caught this because i'm thinking in breed the one that i have in Diamond to have a Lapras with Dragon Dance =)
I have the same dilemma. I just keep forgetting.I keep wanting to catch it but I forget about it. =/
