Ok guys, I was impatient so I played with pokesav a bit..
I took my original save file, which was 5 minutes into the game
load up all my pokemons from when I beat Whitney, entered the location I was at, and went straight to play
So there I was at the goldenrod city again, and everything seems to work fine! No more freezing every 2 events
I went on to the next route, fought some trainers, talked to some people, everything was fine.
So now the problem is the badges.. is anyone knowledgeable about hacking, or pokesav?
All I need right now is the badge hacking system..
I think as long as we avoid Whitney, the game will still be somewhat playable
then we can all still be happily playing, and just wait for the patch to come out, then go back to kick whitney's ass.
