A Big Problem!!!

[Flakey J]

It was one of those normal days, and when I was about to play my Pokemon Emerald, a message like this appeared.

The inner battery has run dry. Game can be played. However, clock-based events will no longer occur.

I have two questions:

What will no longer occur, as said by the message in my game?

And how can I fix it? (if I can't, what can I do?)

 

[D-Man]

if you are playing emerald game on your GBA try changing the battery

 

[Blazichu]

This means that you can't grow berrys anymore. Try changing the battery.

 

[Flakey J]

But changing the battery will erase my game or not?

 

[D-Man]

i don't think so look your saves can't go on BATTERY?!?!

 

[Freeze Knight]

You'll have to send your game to nintendo in order to fix it... Your saved file will be erased though...

Don't forget TV events, apprentice and the lottery.

Thank you. T__T *sarcastic*

Yeah, I guess I'll have to do that. Too bad I live very far away of wherever is Nintendo located. I live in Chile... I guess I'll have to live with that.

Does this mean the battery in the game? Or in the GBA?

In the game...

It's the battery located in your game cartridge. You can change it yourself but it usually isn't recommended. Find your local nintendo website and email them for info on sending it to them. As for what events... well you can't grow berries, you can't get the sale-out tv shows, swarms either.... anything that requires so much physical time to pass.

 

[Espeon POWER!]

Will the list include Espeon/Umbreon.

 

[ko-koro]

you will only be able to get te eeveelution that is avaible on the time the clock freezez

 

[water types rule]

When does the battery run dry? Is it after some-odd hours?
EDIT: yeah, I know what you mean Poke King, it's kinda scaring me too.

 

[Poke`King]

Yeah this is scaring me.. That has never happened to me.

Unfortunatley this will happen, the game's clock runs on a battery, and they all run out some time. I don't know exactly how long it takes for the battery to run dry, though.

I believe that if you send it to Nintendo they will just send you a new cartridge, but if you do have a gaming store in your area you may be able to have them change the battery without having to erase your save file.

 

[Flakey J]

Okay thanks everyone. I'll try to do what TRJessie579 told me.

THX for the help!!

Don't worry just turn it off and then turn it on. It happens......or you did something wrong and screwed up the clock thing(like me when my mom washed it...).

Ratiosu381, have you been reading the topic at all? Several posts in this topic indicate that is not the problem, particulary Jessie's post right before your own.
