I'm playing an incredibly scuffed playthrough of HeartGold. I caught an Onix and Slowpoke I plan on adding to my team as Steelix and Slowking, but can't be bothered to train them to match my starter. So I had the bright idea to trade them to Platinum, where I could send up cloned Pokemon from Emerald holding rare candies and TMs, and then train them and send them back. But then I realized I wanted more TMs to complete my TM collection in Platinum anyway, and figured if I'm sending up mons I might as well send up 20 star pieces to trade for shards for the move tutors too, but my Emerald didn't have any star pieces and I couldn't find any at the listed locations, so I found one in FireRed and traded it to Emerald to clone, then prepared to send them all up.
But when I tried setting my time forwards and syncing with FireRed to bypass the limit on Emerald I got hit with the 24 hour limit, so I waited a day and tried again. Except it didn't work, so I looked more into it and apparently I have to resync the time with Emerald before it'll work again, so I had to wait another day.
In the meantime I grinded out about 2 million Poke in Route 212 to pay for the TMs I wanted from the Veilstone Game Corner and the Resort Area furniture, got called out by Dawn as a TM collector, then learned I need to grind out the Elite Four ten times, play one round in every Battle Frontier facility, and win a silver print to buy the last missing furniture. I'll do that later.
So now I'm just at work with my Togepi from HeartGold in my Pokewalker. So many plans, cockblocked by time.
