Yo,
Either because of all the issues, or just liking the larger size, who is choosing the original?
It has a bonus theme at the end of the game, and this version is just a bit more polished overall
Actually, it's a bad ideia to play the european version of Minish Cap, it's an older build than US version and it has a bug in the kinstone fusion that can make the game uncompletable. In case you really want to play this version, you can patch a US rom to get something similar.
That's the only bug I knew and I had never heard about the bug you mentioned.

Nobody was talking about the Minish Cap, bro.

So in other words it could be storing the time that is set on the wall clock at the start of the game as an offset relative to the time the RTC was at, and it uses that to calculate time whenever needed, rather than just use the time value that the RTC reports as is. If you want that offset to be close to 0 you would need to start the game sometime close to 00:00 at midnight, since that's what the RTC is reset to at that point.
Now I see what taiyotenko was talking about.

Yeah that’s my guess anyway. Perhaps that might also explain why Krikzz couldn’t find a solution to the problem since the issue was really the game dependent offset rather than the hardware dependent reset. But I have no idea really. Starting the game at midnight is a nice idea though and would be a good test of the theory.
I still don't see an answer to the question. The berry glitch seems to be an unrelated bug (I don't fully understand the explanation at bulbapedia but it seems it never happens again after January 2, 2002) which happens on real Ruby and Sapphire cartridges as well.
If the RTC is reset so that the time goes backwards the game will probably act either like no time has passed or act like a lot of time has passed depending on how it calculates the passed time (I'm guessing). But if the RTC can be set again in Boktai for example (preferably to real time or at least sometime after January 2, 2002 to fix the berry glitch as well), I think everything should be fixed. Player planted berries might wilt when doing this, but after that I think everything should work as it should? If a new save file is created on any other Pokemon game, the RTC will be reset again and it must be fixed using Boktai again. This is how the berry glitch is fixed using the patching methods mentioned so I can't imagine it doing anything bad to the save file.
So more concretely what happens if playing Pokemon after RTC is reset (without fixing it in Boktai)? Given that most time events only seems to be based on days passed since last happening (rather than being based on certain dates) and resets when enough time has passed, they should be fine. Berries might wilt if it acts like a lot of time passed, or nothing will happen at all if it acts like no time has passed. Since day/night cycles, water tides and Eevee evolutions are only based on hours/minutes, those types of events should be fine as long as the RTC is set to match real time of the day (or whatever time you want it to be).
Only problem I could think of is if there is an event that happens at regular intervals and keeps count of it, say something that happens every month and increments a counter every time. In that case the counter would go up a lot when setting the time (by 12 per year you set time forward for the month event example). But this would happen with Nintendo's berry glitch patch as well. I haven't played this game very much so I don't know if such events exists.
Is this correct?
Unlike Generation II, Generation III had no separate time periods, or even an ability to check the time in-game unless the player traveled back to Littleroot Town, where he or she had set an analog clock at the beginning of the game. Also, unlike Generation II, the time-based events were very few and extremely far between, with the clock mostly running to keep track of the growth of planted Berries (although this was not completely foolproof). Additionally, there was no way to change the clock in this generation, not even for daylight saving time.
There were, however, some time-based functions in the games. For example, Shoal Cave's water level would change every six hours, at 3:00 and 9:00 a.m. and p.m. (03:00, 09:00, 15:00, 21:00). Just the same, Eevee would be able to evolve into Espeon if the in-game time was between 12:00 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. (12:00 - 23:59). Eevee would be able to evolve into Umbreon if the in-game time was between 12:00 a.m. and 11:59 a.m. (00:00 - 11:59).
Time-based evolutions
Day Evolution
12:00 a.m. - 11:59 a.m.
(00:00 - 11:59)
Night Evolution
12:00 p.m. - 11:59 p.m.
(12:00 - 23:59)
Although a small part of the game, some events occur on a daily basis. Lilycove Department Store gives out Pokémon Loto Tickets for the Pokémon Lottery Corner, with the winning number changing daily. An old man who lives in Pacifidlog Town looks out for Mirage Island, and will, every day, generate a random number between 0 and 65535 and if this number matches the personality value of any of the Pokémon in the party, Mirage Island will appear in the game.
Yes, it is an "R" tracking number. That is what initially surprised me because KRIKzz said that all US shipments would be by Express Mail.
I haven't had any problems tracking Registered packages in the US. This package was either lost or stolen in Kyiv.
There's a reason why the US packages were changed to Express Mail shipping. I guess I'm the unlucky one that they decided to ship Registered.
"Keep waiting". Don't expect any "support" beyond that statement.
Thanks, but I know the RTC isn’t isolated. The question I have is what effect this has on the games. (Please don’t say it resets the clock when a new game is started – I know it resets the clock, the question is what impact this has on the game being played). I guess this is kind of what I meant by the other answers being quite abstract. No one seems to know what actual impact the reset has on the games.
My specific worry is that it will generate something equivalent to the ‘Berry Glitch’ in Pokemon and stop berries from growing on trees etc. Is this the case? Or will it just mess up the clock in the bedroom of your house (if so who cares)?
Bought a cart from Everdrive.me on BF.Registered Mail has limited tracking at the destination country. They generaly start with a "R" letter. Your packet could still be at customs and it will only update when on delivery, specially if your item was posted in December.
I'm located in the US and it was supposed to be shipped by Express Mail.
I had to ask for the tracking number which showed it was shipped as Registered Mail.
The last tracking was on 12-6 in Kyiv.
The package has not been received by the USPS for over a month.
The only response I've received is to keep waiting.
