Finished the Diancie quest and it does not let me start the encounter, it just gives me the message as shown in the screenshot attached.

When I got to Olivine I went to buy the super rod only to realize that my good rod had disappeared from my inventory, is there any way to get another one whilst i am stuck in Johto?

I had the good rod in my shortcut interface slot number one and when I removed it from there I couldn't find it in my backpack anymore.

When i change location (not sure what to call it, when i walk in and out of buildings, moving from one route to the next or to/from a city, etc) my trainer freezes in place and I can't move anymore, I can do anything else but I just can't move unless I close the game and reopen it which has become almost unbearable now because it happens I'd say almost 1/3 of the times I travel to another part of the map, any ideas as to what could be causing this? Edit: It has stopped happening now

I just merged accounts and now I have a lvl 5 hoothoot from the kanto region locked on my team and I am in the Johto region. Edit: I just decided to release the pokemon since it wasn't good anyways

I haven't been on this game since 2017 and a lot has changed since then including the servers which used to be three (blue, red and yellow) whereas now there only are two (silver and gold). I downloaded the latest version and entered my account details but I wasn't able to join the silver server and the gold server only loaded my old yellow server save but I would rather have my blue server save over the yellow if I had to choose one. Any way I can get my old blue server save back? Also, why can't I join the silver server?
