Days not progressing problem in Diamond/Platinum

[Aurora]

Hey, I'm brand new to the forums but have been using the wiki for quiiiite some time. Now I find myself having a very hard-to-diagnose problem and thought this community would have the answer... Google definitely didn't! I looked around quite a few places and couldn't find anything.

As some background, I've got Diamond, Platinum, and now HeartGold. I play all of them on my DSi. Since I got HeartGold, my other two games have been, well... stuck in time. For instance, I loaded up Diamond just now, the diary said the last time I'd been in game was the 16th, and yet the Loto Corner lady told me I'd already drawn a ticket number today. The number never changes in Platinum, and my daily swarm never changes either. My berries seem to have frozen in time on both games too.

HeartGold, however, works fine. Apricorns refresh daily, etc. My DSi's clock (which all of this should be tied to) is up to date and seems to be working fine. I have never hacked any of my games; honestly, I wouldn't know how!

This is very frustrating, as you might imagine, and I can't find anything online to help me out So I am hoping someone here might be able to shed some light on all of this. Please, any help is hugely appreciated. If I posted this in the wrong place, many apologies; I looked around and this seemed the likeliest forum. Thanks!

Um I'm not fully sure, that sometimes happens to me if I haven't been on the game for a while, but it'll correct itself in 24 hours. I think, when it happens to me, it occurs when the ds clock has been changed.

That could be. Have you moved to another time zone or otherwise adjusted the DS clock at all?

Hmm. I did fix the clock for the time change, maybe that's it? It just feels like it's been happening for many days now, although perhaps that's the frustration talking.

Time travel?

 

[tokawase]

yeah that happened to me about 4 or 5 times,really weird.

I think I have it figured out! I've been using my original DS to help transfer pokemon, and its clock was still an hour behind... I think my game days kept resetting because the time kept "changing." Hopefully, having fixed the clock on the original DS, I will not keep seeing this problem... Crossing fingers.
