Hi guys,

something terible happened, I was playing on my fire red, saved it to eat and put the ds off, when I started the game after diner, my save file was deleted!!
Now everytime I save a new game, and then shut off my save gets deleted again!

Does anyone know what causes this and what to do to fix it?

(hopefully) thanks in advance

Maikel
 
Did you turn it off before it finished saving? If so, that might have caused it to do that.

I know how you feel, I have this same problem with my Silver game.

But I don't know WHAT causes it to happen though.
 
that happen to my friend who now hates pokemons red you got glitched try returning it and getting a new one
 
Maybe the internal batery died like in the GSC series, but then again I dont know why type they're using for LG and FR, and besides I dont think they woulf keel over in just 3 years, did you try a cheat or a glitch?

No I didnt cheat, sure i saved before i turned the ds off, and its a legal one for sure.
This totaly sucks because i had a shiny weedle on it!

But no1 knows what could have happened besides that the internal battery dried(can this be fixed?)?
 
the internal battery would never die this quick, what colour is the cartridge
 
Pokemon FR/LG has no Internall battery.
 
^yep, excellent point the game has to be fake or you used a cheating device
 
why black or grey?

i mean maybe its just a really bad glitch or just a game he dropped into the floor or something then something could happend!;munchlax;
 
^that can't be the reason either because if that was the case there would be thousands of threads complaining about this, because many people play there 3rd Gen games on the DS because of the better screen clarity
 
The death of an internal battery wouldn't break your save feature either.

And as stated before, the battery is absent in FR/LG.

Fake/cheater/or possibly turned off while saving and caused permanent damage.

Sorry to hear about your weedle though =/
 
The GBA games I believe use Flash ROM to save. In theory that Flash ROM (as I understand the technology) will eventually fail, but unless it's defective I doubt it would happen this quick. More likely in my opinion is some sort of glitch or a bootleg game.

The R/B/Y and G/S/C games used battery backed up RAM (along with many other cartridge based games all the way back to NES) and on those games if the battery died it would lose the ability to save.
