Hello again all. Just thought I'd do an update to my post from a couple of days ago. The good news is that the repairs to my car ended up not being that big of a deal. Of course they needed to send out of some replacement part that took most of the day to get to the shop, so I was pretty much stuck at home for the whole morning and most of the afternoon. Still, it wasn't as serious as I was afraid it'd be. I mean I now owe my dad about $150.00 for part of the repair cost, but that's not really a big deal. Well...I don't really like having to give him that much money, but it could've been far worse.

I wish I had some equally optimistic news about my copy of Pokemon Sword, but unfortunately it's still screwed up. In fact I did something kind of stupid that probably made things worse. I got online to try and confirm what XxArrancarFanxX told me about just waiting for the game to correct the problem on its own, and I ended up finding a YouTube video about how to supposedly fix such a problem with the game's clock and daily events. I don't do so well with wait-and-see problems like this (probably because of my anxiety issues), so I went ahead and tried what I saw in that video. At first it seemed to work, but then by the days end I was back to having the same problem as before.

For all I know, I've probably only made things worse. The save file is now likely corrupted or something. I guess the only thing to do now is just put the game down and walk away, at least for a while. In a few days I may turn it on again and see if the game still corrects itself. If it doesn't, then I'm really at a loss as to what to do.

Still, it's probably just as well that I put the game away for at least a while, since not only is it now frustrating me a bit, I feel like I might've gotten just a little too wrapped up in it. In fact I hesitated from getting the game because I was afraid that just such a thing would happen. Of course I also really wanted to give the game a try in order to do research for a Pokemon fanfic I'm thinking of doing later. Well, I think that about does it for this post. Thanks for "listening" everyone.
