Thriller

Its almost time
I recently got the urge to fire up GSC so I dug out my Gold game and noticed I had no saved game. So I play on till I get to Violet City and get a Dunsparce in the Dark Cave. I save and go to sleep.

The next day I played again and noticed I didn't save my game... I flipped out and decided not to play anymore. I took that back and played again. This time I KNOW I saved but when I set up again... No save file...

I have heard on the internet about save batteries die, did mine?

Now I gotta dig out my Silver because I'm NEVER going to replay my Crystal (Too many power houses, shineys and dex pages).

I don't care much, that Gold game has caused me plenty pain. I had a shiny Golbat I sent from Crystal and the game got corrupted and its gone.
 
Your game's internal battery died. Sorry to hear that. It's happened to almost everyone now.
 
So I guess my Crystal will die soon... The first non-Gyrados Shiny I ever caught is on that, along with a level 80+ Feraligatr that I trained with no rare candies, a Hitmonlee with Mind Reader & Dynamic Punch and a kick arsin T-Tar.

I'mma gonna go emo.
 
A tip- Get Pokemon Stadium 2 if you don't have it already and clone your most precious Pokemon and put them in there. PS2 uses a much longer-lasting form of memory, and your things will be safe if your other games die.

Man, all these threads make me scared to play my GSC games, because I know in the back of my mind that it will happen to me one day, too.
 
Just like everyone else said- your internal battery pooped out on ya. :/
You can probably change the battery by yourself- but it might be soldered into place. Just buy another cartridge.. but who knows how long that'll last. :(

I'm gonna dread the day my G/S/C cartridges die.
 
Wow thats wierd i have had Red version since the day it came out and my lil sis plays it all the time but it hasnt died yet....

Thats what I'm going to do, put them in the Stadium Box. Meanwhile I'll use up whats left of my battery and keep trying to get more shinies with my shiny Ditto.
 
Thats odd, how come my spphire internal battery is dead but the game data has never been lost yet?
 
*never knew about the internal battery* DEAR DUCK NO! o@;;;;;;;

I don't even KNOW when I first got my Pokemon Silver... 2001? 2002? *frantically tries to save her most precious Pokes*
 
My red, blue, and yellow still work, yet but my gold doesn't work, that really angers me. I pray my silver doesn't die, I'm about to restarts it. Wonder why my red, blue, and yellow still work if my gold doesn't. Any ideas.
 
I know! I don't want to lose my games:( -sob- That's what ROMs are for, I guess, but I can't find anywhere to download them from... I mean, Google brings up a ton but I don't know which ones are virus-safe.

So, yah. Your battery died. And I don't have the right game system for Pokemon Stadium 2 so I can't use it. So some day I'll lose all my beloved Pokemon who I raised from level 2... I wanna at least beat my Silver before it goes, but I've had it for about four years, so any day now... -sniffle- I just can't bear it!! WAHHH!!!

Um, yeah.

I think it depends on how often you save and how often you played it, so you may have used Gold more than RBY. I personally think that the GSC games had much weaker internal batteries because they had to save all the day/night features and keep a clock going so, it stressed them more. That would mean that, eventually, all the GSC games would be dead because they always keep a clock no matter what.
 
Not really my Silver kept a game for 2 years of inactivity, but lost the clock. And I played my blue straight through my batteries on my GBC more than a couple times. The clock thing most likely is the cause of the death of our G/S/C may they rest in piece. Hope nintendo makes a remake soon. Thanks for the info.
 
Oh my, I read this rhead yesterday, and what happens at night? Silver is all gone. All gone... Everything, all gone, I worked so hard on that game, I had good Pokemon, and the batteries defiently died because I started a new game and when I turned it off (Sabed it first at a PKM Center) and switched to Pokemon Stadium 2 so I can train a Rattatta in a sneaky way 9Like Pokemon blue unlimited rare candies etc cheat) to bweat Faluker because the new chickorita in the house wouldn't able to..

And it was erased, it qwas the batteries, the funny thing is I had blue for even a longer period and it still working.. and I think Silver may have been played more then Blue. And even more funnier, is when I read this thread, I thought like what CED did two posts above ,and thought mine might be awhile and it died today..

But something equally weird happened to Gold, see I caught every Pokemon execpt Celebii on Silver (Mew came from the Blue glitch cheat), but now Gold is saying I caught all the Pokemon, and the Pokemon I could have sworn was on Silver are there.

And Gold was just like Pokemon Red/Ruby/Yellow/Crystal, when I want to restart a game, I restart that partiuclar game while Sapphire/Blue/Silver was the main one...

And Oh-ho again, I think my shiny pink butterfree may have been on that cartirdge, I may have used the Silver used to mutiple them and transferr a couple to Gold/Blue, but I am not sure. Which means the only shiny I have now is Golbat in Sapphire.

And, I beileve I accidently killed another shiny Golbat in Sapphire, erasded a Lioone one in Ruby, not sure why, and now my shiny butterfree may have suffered the same fate.

How do I fix the batteries of the cartridge again?
