And that's what I'll do, Anon. The Pokéblocks colors are pretty confusing, but I'll do my best to get that fucking Feebas and complete those fucking Contests.

What? You replace the battery and that's it the clock will run... If I is not then the contacts are not touching, with duck tape you can secure it... Look up on youtube how to replce them...

Yeah, but the RTC value in the save will be wrong, meaning you'll need to wait for years for the time to start ticking again. You can fix it by starting a new game or modifying the save file with 3rd party tools.
Besides that, you also have the Berry Glitch to take into account...
