My leafgreen one has been ruined.... I don't know how to fix it either. I wish i did i read about it everywhere :(

.Ozymandias April 7th, 2009 11:04 AM

All the internal batteries in my games are still working, thankfully! I'm rerunning through Crystal and Yellow, and both are working fine - I assume the others are too. I head you can send them to Nintendo to get fixed, but that could be wrong.

My Silver version died a few years ago but my Gold version still works.

Starom April 9th, 2009 9:37 AM

My Silver version has gone completely :( If I want to play on it now, I have to leave the thing constantly turned on. If I turn it off once, it loses track of everything and if I leave it off, the save data disappears :(

The first Pokemon game I ever got was Gold. And it's dead ;-;


Waaaaaait, Diamond , Pearl, and Platinum have internal batteries? I thought they ran based on the DS clock.

They do run on the DS clock. (Mightily useful when you're trying to catch something that only comes out at morning/day/night. <.<) But they have to save and everything...

I Never knew the Pokemon Games have internal battries in them?
what are they used for?

La Foudre April 10th, 2009 11:18 PM

Quite sadly, Crystal and Silver are both dead. D: Blue&Gold are still good so far, and I'm not sure about Yellow, didn't try.

muckers April 11th, 2009 7:29 AM

My UK versions of Gold and Silver both died, but I replaced their batteries so they're good to go again. My Japanese versions of Gold and Silver are still going, as is my UK version of Crystal and US version of Silver - though they might give up the ghost quite soon. :S

Haven't checked my UK Red and Yellow, or my Japanese Blue and Green but I assume they're still working.

I've just found out today that the internal battery will dry out in GSC and RBGY games, I thought it only occurred in RS games (well for me my Ruby games only)

My internal battery for my old crystal ran out.

so i went and bought another crystal! and the internal battery works!

yay!

Pink_Marshmello April 11th, 2009 7:41 PM

I've gone through 3 Gold versions and two Yellow versions, but my Silver and Crystal still work, thankfully.

Eureka1 April 11th, 2009 7:54 PM

Would everyone here sell me their old carts?

Because a 30p battery will make them full working again and I could make a huge profit on eBay. :|

Seriously though, it's not that hard to pry your cartridge apart and shove in a new CR2027 or CR2032. On my Gold I didn't even solder it in, I just used tape and it's working great so far.

Pokedra April 11th, 2009 11:07 PM

Mine died ages ago, now I can't play my Gold :(

Eureka1 April 11th, 2009 11:31 PM

Heed my call guys, save the carts!

giradialkia April 12th, 2009 3:19 AM

My Silver died...
Well it was put in a washing machine anyways... But i think it just drained the power from the battery faster than normal.. My gold was working the last time i played it.. But that was months ago. Its most likely dead now. But i have them as ROMs, which is good.

Haz April 12th, 2009 3:54 AM

Nope, my Gol and Yellow r still going strong. I play Gold regually but not my yellow. And thier both pre owned- Gold by my older friend who's now 19 and Yellow by some guy off eBay.

Wyyrlokk April 12th, 2009 5:55 PM

All my internal batteries still work... my oldest game is a Blue edition from 1998 (I think), so you can think what quality it is. And yes, I played this edition excessively, still up to today. I wonder how long this battery will be operating.
I think of buying a new Red or Blue edition on amazon or elsewhere, so that I don´t have to kill that old one.

{Swan} April 12th, 2009 6:01 PM

I bought my Silver copy when it first came out and it's still going strong! I have another one from a friend which is also still running. I guess I'm just lucky, eh?

Missingno.7-4468 April 13th, 2009 12:00 AM

Red:No
Blue:No
Yellow:No
Gold: Yes
Silver: Yes
Crystal:No
My Gold and Silver are so bad that I can barely turn them on.
But other than that, all my games are fine.

Vie April 13th, 2009 12:13 AM

nope...I never had that. though I play a lot. oO

Jarin April 14th, 2009 6:03 AM

My Blue and Crystal's internal batteries have died, but not my Gold. I've had that one for 8 years so far and he's still going and going :P

Silhouette April 14th, 2009 12:39 PM

My Crystal and Gold died, but Silver -- my favorite of GSC -- is still working.

Finnel April 14th, 2009 8:45 PM

I've had my Crystal now for... I don't know, years, got it when it was first released, and the battery hasn't died yet. Even though I play it a lot.

Makes me happy and sad at the same time, happy that it hasn't died yet and sad knowing that it will eventually.
