So the game was running just fine before. After turning on the game now I'm suddenly brought to this screen. I saved by the Excadrill in the Dreamscape since I was trying to do the Drilbur encounter (which I still have no idea how to do in all honesty). LastSave.dat

Apologies in advance, but I just wanted to get this sidequest done. I know it isn't a major thing and Spiritomb isn't the best mon in the game but i'd rather get this done so I don't have to worry about it. I've never really had to ask for help like this before so I added a picture of the issue as well as the last save data. If there is any other file I was supposed to upload rather than the one I included or I uploaded this in the wrong place please let me know. Thanks in advance. LastSave.dat

I've noticed that a few have had this same issue throughout the various versions without any definitive solution besides talking to 30 people and it being night within the game. However, even with the requirements met, Spiritomb still doesn't appear. Is there any surefire way to make sure it appears?

Hi everyone, i've just beaten Adam and decided to do some sidequests before continuing with the story. Problem is, I can't seem to get back to the GDC tournament arena or GDC at all due to the story events. I've heard that some are able to re-enter using mods or debug mode but I personally don't know how to install them. Is this a softlock that leaves me unable to progress with the main story at all or is there a way around it without me having to worry? If I do need some sort of mods or debug mode, how can I properly install them and what would I have to do once they're installed?
