Hey I just checked all my games not that long ago. The only one that had died was Gold. I was surprised that my Red still worked, it must me over 10 years old.
I just beat the Elite 4 and I thought it was pretty easy. Had early level 50's and some revives and some potions. I'd say try and go for more pokemon in your party.
