Flashbacks fail to launch

[Pikmintendo]

Try playing from an earlier save in combination with turning off/lower all the graphics for this section. If that does nto help, then don't pick the note as it is not needed to progress in the game. You can see the sequence you are missing on for example youtube.

No, The note I do not need; I've already established that that is optional and I've skipped it, the real problem is that I am now trying to pick up a chemical NEEDED to progress in the game that triggers an event including a flashback, which doesn't launch, therefore preventing me from progressing further. I would like to know if I can fix it and make the flashback launch in any way; Toggling a specific option or set of options, reinstalling the game, etc. As for your booting from a previous save idea, I already tried completely starting the game over, and It still hasn't worked.
