Is Gold/Silver dead?
 
My Pokémon craze came back to me since January.
And talking to people how Silver is the best pokémon game out there, made me wanna boot up my cartridge and waste hours on it, only to find out it's saveless. As well for my boyfriend's Gold AND Silver copy. And same goes with many people it seems, and even used game.

Yet, Red/Blue/Yellow is still kicking proudly. Fnck up.
Is the battery dead for you guys too?

The question has been buzzing around my head for the past month.

It's the internal battery my young padawan. You can get it replaced someplace.

I'd rather just save money for a DS (unless you already have one) and Platinum, when it comes out later this year. Gold, Silver, and Crystal serve no further purpose. In fact, all we're missing from those games is the Apricorn Balls. That's it. And at least two of them have been replaced by more modern versions, such as the Friend Ball being replaced by the Luxury Ball.

There was an issue with early versions of silver, they're internal batteries die.

You just have to write to Nintendo, and send them the cartaridge aswell.
they should repair it, and send it back in no time :)

I hear they don't do that anymore. And well, i can't blame them, it's 10 years old.

Sydian May 27th, 2008 11:29 AM

I didn't know I died...

No, they're not 'dead'. A lot of people still play them...like me.

Same with the oldies.

SilverSmeargleSplatter: I think she means has the internal battery died. Not that no-one rarely plays it anymore.

Anyway, I gave my silver to my friend and my brother gave his gold to his friend XD. I think silver stopped working though, not sure about gold. Crystal (which I still own and am playing it right now.) still works :D

feffeowns May 28th, 2008 10:24 AM

red is gr8 aswell,
Old school power.

Ah, gotcha. And you can just call me Silver. ;D

On that subject, m GSC games are in perfect working order. But, my brother's Gold won't save...so some of them out there still work, some don't.

Captain Arcane May 28th, 2008 10:54 AM

wow, I never heard of this happening, and I don't even know the last time I turned on my silver....I say 4 years ...maybe 5!!! I should probably see how its do'n i guess.

st.jimmy May 28th, 2008 10:58 AM

i love it but havent played it in years!

.Socks May 28th, 2008 11:06 AM

Ugh, I really hope this doesn't happen to my Crystal. ]:

finleymon3000 May 28th, 2008 11:45 AM

My Gold has gone and that was my favourite game ever!:( This is why it is vital for a G/S remake, 'cus they are dead and everyone knows it!:(

Gold, Silver and Crystal, trapped in time...

We never planned for this!:(

EDIT: If somebody knows where I can get my Gold repaired, either PM me or post it here!

Dr.Ray Quaza May 28th, 2008 11:51 AM

my yellow became saveless :(

i sold my gold to a friend because i know it's about to die but i think they shold make a remake of gold and silver because i think they are awsome

Legobricks May 28th, 2008 2:32 PM

Silver, Gold and Crystal all use batteries for the internal clock, if that dies, the game save tends to as well.
Now, batteries die after time, no more can be said about them. They are some form of button battery, similar to those you can find in watches. Said batteries can be replaced in the game cartridge, though I don't know where/how to get the specific ones used by the second-generation games, and I've heard there's soldering involved.
Moving on: Red, Blue, Yellow etc. don't have this problem since they don't have a real-world time.

Lastly, Crystal is actually the best. :P

Zesty Cactus May 28th, 2008 3:59 PM

My Silver and Crystal's batteries work fine (the clock is a little slow in Silver though), but my brother's Crystal clock only runs while he's playing. The clock battery for my Ruby is dried up too :/

clixier May 28th, 2008 4:19 PM

lol yea...their going to die!

Houndoom666 May 28th, 2008 4:47 PM

Well, Crystals battery is screwed up and all the others appear 2 b workin fine.

The batteries in my Silver, Gold and Crystal versions never died. I can't still load up my old games and play like I did five or six years ago. I don't know why, so don't ask.

Dukey May 30th, 2008 2:24 PM

yer my gold is dead

its the best game out there though so I'm really dissapointed
