    I run all my older games in an emulator, so thanks to save states, I can experiment with glitches without any worry at all!

    I know that Pokemon TCG deletes itself after a certain amount of time.. I beat it and had all the cards and then didn't play it for about a year, came back and it was erased. :(

  • I haven't experienced any harmful glitches in r/b/y yet.. But my Gold has a weird box. Anything I deposit into a certain box number (can't remember, I think 8?) gets nicknamed TPY or something like that and sometimes changes species and ID/OT. I got a Hitmontop one time with OT IAN instead of BRIAN.. I didn't do any glitching/hacking so I don't know why it does that. ;;

    I also had an old Silver with a lot of rares on it and the battery failed so the saved data was lost but when I turned it on a week ago, it could save files again. Evil thing. Not a glitch but great job on leaving me with a level 7 Cyndaquil now. x.x

    Yeah, the old missingno glitch red/blue deleted my game. Though I think I had bad pokemon, so its ok.
    On another note, how long does a gold/silver/crystal battery last? I'm thinking about buying one again but I'd have to get it used and I don't know if it would still save.

    yea they got corrupted becuse of the internal battery it runs dry after about two years.

    oh and charmandertoy in your sig it say golbal warming is a scam if you don't belive it's real just wait till the sea lvl rises 5 feet in the next fiffteen years or so.

  • My game has never been deleted by a glitch even though I have used the item duplication glitch in Red and the Glitch City glitch in Yellow multiple times. Then again, I was never interested in catching Missingno anyways, I just wanted to be able to duplicate rare candies to evolve the Pokémon I caught in order to finish my Pokédex in Yellow. If a saved game was deleted, it was voluntary because I got bored with the game after a period of time and wanted to start from the beginning.

    So this poll is only for old versions????

    Or all the gb and gbc versions?

    In any case the data on my silver version were deleted a numerous times but in blue it only happened once!

    After that it never happened again for a year(I lost my game after that so I guess the battery is over after so many years so the data were deleted anyway again:P ) and I used MISSINGNO quite a lot!

    I bought Pokemon Crystal last summer and I would save it then come back to it and the data was not there. So my dad put a new battery in it and now its working like its brand new.

    I once lost my data on silver a short time after I brought it(around the time it came out.) It was due to the missingno glitch, and me accidently f**king up. That's also the only time I can remember crying because of a game. :D
