chilhaps

I wasn't using any cheats. I also tried running in DS and DSi mode, and both had the same issue.

I am using a Japanese 3ds, if that makes any difference. I also tested HeartGold, and it has the same issue.

Sorry, I just checked this thread again. Yes, I'm still having the same issue. Since my last update I've tried applying an AP patch as a cheat within Twilight Menu....

I can try that, is there any particular emulator that would be the best for testing? I've tested with and without AP cheats, but neither fixed the issue.

I just copied both the rom and the save from my 3DS to my PC. The game started in melonDS and loaded the save without any issues.

I'm sorry, I don't have any DS cartridges on-hand. I owned a copy of SoulSilver, but I've lost it.

Will any DS game work, or does it need to be SoulSilver?

Does that include reproduction carts, or only authentic ones? I can try to pick up something to test with.

I tested with an IR cartridge, it did not fix the issue.

I just discovered that Pokemon Platinum has the same issue.
