first time i hit my delay i miscalculated...
I opened my journal and it didnt have a caught pokemon so i was like shit, i guess when i changed my target time it changed the opening journal entry...
counted 395 flips...got a shitty cress...
so i realized that my opening journal entry DID have that caught Ledian on it, and that when i went to the journal in my key items it simply opened at a different page from when I started my game...
So the second time i hit my delay i counted 1 from the initial opening, and then the second time, when i went to the Journal in my key items...after than i flipped 393 times and finally got my flawless Cress =)
