I'm not sure if anyone knows this but there is a bug in Pokemon ruby and sapphire this is an article on the-magicbox.com:

Nintendo of Japan announced there is a bug in Pocket Monster Ruby & Sapphire for GameBoy Advance, after the game is played for one year, the internal clock function may get corrupted and certain time triggered events may not longer available, such as berry growth and Pokemon lottery. Those who experience the problem can call up the Nintendo Service Center in Japan for a repair.

Just thought i'd metion this.

I'm hoping its not in the U.S. version but if the Pokemon Of Japan had just found the bug that means theres a pretty good bet its in the USA versions.

In an archived news article on Pokemon Forever Meowth346 says something about this happening and he said it could be fixed by restarting your game. I don't know if he was talking about the US or Japanese version though.

I hope thay fixed this in the US versions of R/S, but if thay just found out about it in Japan then there is a very good chance that it is in the US version of R/S too.

But still, it's quite a big mistake to maek a game with time-based stuff run out of bateries to create the time-based stuff


and why do we need yet another piece of Hardware to charge it again? Can't it be done in some conventional way without buying new stuff? Aw well, who cares, as long as we have fun with the game :D

Something simialiar to this happened on my Silver version.I had played it for about a year and then all of I sudden I noticed that My attacks weren't showing up.now that really sucked!

Ntice,after a year or two something bad is bound to happen to your game.

I found this:

Update: Game Informer Online has reported on this story with an official comment from Nintendo of America. The company confirms that this bug will also affect the North American version of the game at the one year anniversary of its release, which will be in March. NOA has not announced any sort of recall as in Japan, but there may be action taken in the spring.

I wrotte this in another forum, for you guys that would like to see this post:

i think this update was since dec 6, but i still don't know if thats true, and another thing, i think that reseting your game will no have effect on erasing this bug, btw, it's said that the bug will appear one year after the game function (it started around march), so in march 2004, if this is true, all the american gamers will see their game with the bug, it doesn't matter if you started to play it months later march, 'cause in march the games were activated for their sales. Well that's what i know :paranoid:
