Here's what you likely mean, and the possible solutions:
1. You want the game to progress even when you're not playing:
* This is impossible in Pokemon Sapphire. The game is designed to run in real time, meaning the clock only moves when you're playing.
2. You want to speed up the time in-game:
* No built-in feature: Unfortunately, Pokemon Sapphire doesn't have a feature to speed up time.
* Emulator tools: If you're playing on an emulator (like VisualBoyAdvance or VBA-M), there are often built-in functions to speed up gameplay. Check your emulator's settings.
3. You're encountering a specific game bug where time seems frozen:
* Restart the game: Try restarting your game. This might resolve minor glitches.
* Update the game or emulator: Make sure you're using the latest versions of the game or emulator, as updates can sometimes fix bugs.
* Specific bug: If you're facing a specific bug that makes time seem frozen, describing it in detail could help me suggest solutions.
Remember: Modifying game files or using cheats can potentially damage your save file. Be cautious when trying solutions that involve manipulating the game beyond its intended design.
