Hack description

Here is what the patch does:
-Applies gbata's RTC patch
-Adds a clock to every Pokemon Center
-You can reset the clock at any Pokemon Center
-You can view the time at any Pokemon Center
-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.

Also, for anyone that cares, Emerald gets upset when you edit its existing tiles. The tileset had to be enlarged by 8 and new tiles created to avoid graphical glitches. This fixes the problem of missing and/or corrupt tiles appearing in-game.

Works well for EZIV, one glitch.	Jabodie	2020-02-28	Version 1.0
This patch works exactly as advertised, and is very nice for playing the game on EZIV. There is one minor glitch, however: the interior southwest building in Rustboro city does not load properly, and is effectively inaccessible. There are only 3 floors with a handful of employees for the Devon Corporation that aren't important at all. Simply avoid going into that one building when playing on this patch. I have not run into a second issue with a ~50 hour play time.
