Corrections/complementary info section:
* The playing sessions length is due to the sessions of frogs catching I did each time before saving. The routine consisted of visiting the four ponds, to catch all the frogs but the golden frog (which is female in my file) and two male frogs in the pond of Lanar Island (to prevent the golden frog from being wiped out by the 8th slot bug), and to catch all the frogs but a male and female frogs in the three other ponds (except when I make the mistake of not leaving a couple, in which case I catch all frogs in the pond). I do not know if it is more efficient to leave a couple of frogs or to catch all frogs, or to alternate between leaving a couple and catching all frogs, and this is not very important, because the main frogs catching task will be done anyway after the clock resets and in another more optimized way. The counter of frogs captured was raised from 513 to 921 during this episode.
* Note that the ingame clock is slightly slower than a normal clock.
* Note that if it ever turns out that the clock resets (with confirmation from the emulator test for example), and I notice that there is something missing regarding a characters stats or an items quantity, I would resort to using a gameshark code or so, because I know I won't have the patience to restart the playthrough from the beginning.
