Hack description

Here is what the patch does:
-Applies gbata's RTC patch
-Adds a clock to every Pokémon Center
-You can reset the clock at any Pokémon Center
-You can view the time at any Pokémon Center
-The font has been changed to the one used in Pokemon Emerald
-The size of textboxes has been altered to the size they are in Pokemon Emerald, to accommodate the new Emerald font (however, Ruby/Sapphire colors are still used)
- The location of some clocks were moved for the sake of consistency across all versions and for aesthetic purposes.
- A script event was added to the clock in the Pokemon Center of the Battle Frontier.
- Clocks are now color-coded for each version; green for Emerald, red for Ruby, and blue for Sapphire.

These patches were tested on the VBA-M emulator and GBA hardware with an EZ-Flash IV.

All editing was done in Advance Map and consisted of creating a new palette and editing/moving/creating tiles.

The font that came with Pokemon Sapphire, is, in my opinion, UGLY AS SIN. It's the only thing that keeps me from replaying the game. Replacing it with Emerald's more palatable font makes this hack the definitive way to play the game. I don't even really care about the RTC clock part of the patch, I got this patch SOLELY because the Emerald font it uses is far superior. If you ever want to replay Pokemon Sapphire, do it with this patch.
