  • Strangely enough, no, I never did either, I did however, play Gold alot when I was a younger kid, but it wasn't mine, it was my friends. I hope I can someday pick up a copy of Gold/Silver/Crystal, and they work.

    I bought Gold, and it still works fine. I even glitch it with the BrainBoy and never had a probem.
    Crystal I found at a McDonalds on the ground stick to gum (WIN). Still works.
    But my Silver my friend gave me doesn't save.

  • Mine are tucked away in my desk cabinet somewhere.

    Usually test them from time to time, but they still save

    I replaced the batteries in my Gold, Silver and Crystal. Because of the busted batteries, I still haven't beaten crystal. I swear it died on me everytime I got to the E4. One time I got to Cerulean, but I turned it on the next day and it died. With this new battery, I will achieve the dreams I lost 10(or more) years ago.

  • It's weird, my Crystal version stopped working, but one week, I decided I wanted to play it and complete it one more time, so I thought I would leave it on all week plugged into the charger. After I beat it, I saved out of habit and turned it off. A few days later I turned it back on, just to see on the off chance that it would have saved, and lo and behold, it saved. I have no idea how or why it decided to work again, but it did. And it's still working. Odd.

  • Yup! I have working 2nd Gen games. My first gen games have battery failure though, which makes it so they don't save.

    I have the same problem with my game, PkMnTrainer Yellow, just with my Silver. It really sucks because I love the classic 2nd gen games.

    Good times.

  • My Pokemon Gold along with blue (1st gen) still work. If they do die, I have my saves backed up, and save batteries ready to be put in.

  • My cousin gave me his Gold Version to play back in 2003, It has never stopped working. Mind you I think it will soon because it forgets what time it is and stuff.

  • I have two Yellows that still work and my sister's Blue, one of the Yellows has been used since it came out! :P I have silver and my sis has gold and they still work, but my Crystal's internal battery stopped working a while ago :(
    Hopefully I'll get a new one soon.

  • My Yellow, Red and Blue are still alive and working, but I think before I lost my Crystal, it died.

    My pokemon Blue, Silver and Yellow have all died. although I used to play them constantly every single day so I guess its my fault. I feel quite unlucky reading how most peoples still work. thankfully I have an emulator! :)
