I recently bought another game boy advance sp, so I could get the official recharger that doesn't heat up as much as a car recharger. I also bought it because I have a link cable and two copies of pokemon gold, one of which doesn't save properly due to magnetization. I think that the linking process wouldn't be damaged by that. One of my gold versions had beaten the elite, and the other had just started out.
However, when I tried to link them up, one of the gold copies delayed a bit, while the other one didn't, causing the one that didn't to say that there was a link error, while the one that delayed kept on trying to link back up. Then, it errored as well. I tried to switch the link cable, and the same thing happened, except reversed on the consoles.
I had also tried to time travel with a friends Red version back in the States with the gold version, and it did the same thing. Is this a fault with the linking version on my gold, did I do something wrong, or do I have to beat the elite four on both games in order for the linking to work properly?
