Strange Error Message

[LunarEchoes]

I just started up my Pokemon Sapphire game, which I haven't touched in a few months, and to my knowledge has not been damaged in any way. Before starting up the save file, I got a message that read something like, "Internal battery has run dry, you can still play the game, however clock-based events while not occur."

Will this in any way end up corrupting the game or is it a relatively normal error?

Things like Berries, battles that occur x number of days, specific daily events like the Lotto, and obtaining Pokemon like Espeon and Umbreon that evolve at a certain time are no longer obtainable. Your game is fine outside of that. For now.

Yeah, nothing to worry about, it's been the case on my Emerald since I got it (second hand).

Just don't plant any berries, because they won't grow. It affects the tidal cave too.

You could try replacing the battery or if that isn't possible buying a new Sapphire.
