My Red, Gold, and Crystal still all work fine with their original battery.

I find this very interesting. Christmas 1998 I received Blue version. 101 hours logged over 10 years and the battery is still kicking. Sometime in 2001 I bought Silver. After about five years and maybe 50 hours the battery died. I bought a Red version from a friend when I was 12, but the battery in that was dead when I got it. I plan on replacing that soon...

.MurkyBurning. April 15th, 2009 2:46 PM

nope.
my crystal has been doing fine all these years :)

cuplampghosthunt April 22nd, 2009 10:27 PM

My Gold's still going strong afer fifty hours, and none of my game's except silver have run out of battery.

As for Silver? I got a used copy of it for my birthday. The internal battery was already dead.

The battery on the Silver I bought late last year has died, but the yellow i got at the same time soldiers on! woo. I wonder how long for! :(

Virtual Chatot April 23rd, 2009 12:06 PM

Gold died when I started it up yesterday :(

xxFrozenFlower April 23rd, 2009 12:36 PM

Man... I haven't checked my Blue in a long time. RBY can really die? =x
As for GSC, I bought them in this order:
Gold, Crystal, and then Silver (I don't know why... XD).

I checked them out like a month ago... Gold is dead, lol, the save file is gone. Crystal is still there, but I played Crystal more than Gold so I'm too afraid to touch it... XP
I actually restarted a game in Silver at that time and started to get really attached to it but the whole internal battery thing frightened me... so I stopped playing it. ^^;;

I don't know where you find those batteries... or who can replace them for me... ): Boo.

.Fenris April 24th, 2009 6:55 PM

Not that I know of.

I stopped playing my Gold riiight when I started hearing about this.

pokerus34 April 24th, 2009 7:04 PM

My first game, Pokemon Yellow, died today... :(

In memory of Pokemon Yellow...

Bought: February 11, 2003
Dried: April 25, 2009

A loving cartridge and a good game...

P.S. = Well, go for Platinum! :)

.:Kanto:. April 27th, 2009 1:25 AM

wow.. someone remade my old thread o_o

anyway.. I've had Silver die on me, and when I bought Gold, the battery was dead! :(

but the nice guys and good ol' Gametraders repaired both of my games for a small fee of $10 per game :)

And my Crystal is still running fine :)

SPEEDIE April 27th, 2009 1:57 AM

Both My Gold and Silver have died
but Yellow and Blue are still working

Dunsparce April 27th, 2009 5:48 AM

My Memory Battery Conditions:
Blue - Working
Yellow - Not Working
Silver - Working
Crystal - Working

I have 2 GBC Gamesharks that each have a Save of my Crystal Data on them, so If My Crystal ever dies, I replace the Battery and upload my Data fromt he Gameshark to the cartridge so I have everything back again XD

Armando The Mexican PokeTrainer April 27th, 2009 12:16 PM

I am amazed that my yellow is still alive (i had it since it came out ^_^)

Silver and Gold are still alive as well ,i've had those since 2003 and i bought them used

Underoos April 27th, 2009 12:33 PM

Silver-Good
Gold-Good
Yellow-Good
Red-Good

And I've had them for a while, too. I'm surprised that they still work.

Rubber Ducky April 28th, 2009 1:38 PM

Silver died, Gold still works, Crystal isn't dead but I can't save for some reason, so it may as well be.

SoulRed12 April 28th, 2009 5:53 PM

My gold, silver, and crystal all refuse to save their data. I don't know if that means the batteries are dead, but I'm bummed cuz I can't play the best generation of pokemon games ever made =/

Cham April 29th, 2009 5:31 PM

Yeah, my internal batteries for G/S/C all died almost 2 years ago. It was weird because they all died within the same couple months even though Crystal came out so much later than the first two versions.

warudo.kun! April 29th, 2009 6:33 PM

Yellow, Blue, Red, Gold, Silver still work. But Crystal will not save. And Crystal is my favorite game too! :C

That's a lie. My emerald's internal battery is dead. "The internal battery has run dry. You can still play the game, but clock-based events will not occur."

lolwut April 29th, 2009 8:49 PM

thats completely untrue, ive had my silver for 10 years and its still running strong and ive played it so much its not even funny

giradialkia May 3rd, 2009 12:41 AM

My Silver is dead. *sad*. Although my Yellow has been going strong for what, 9 years? Also my Gold was working the last time i played. About... 6 or 7 months ago. Crap.
Erk, i'm terrified it'll be dead, so i'll leave it. My dead Silver is still in my drawer. I couldn't throw it away..

Lukar May 11th, 2009 8:33 AM

The last time I saw my copy of Crystal was a couple of years ago, and it worked just fine. :D

Apathetic_Yen May 11th, 2009 10:06 PM

unless it died this past week, nope. I've had it since 02? not sure, but my friend gave it to me after my last silver version crashed cuz I spilled mountain dew on it. Yeah, soda kills...

.Wolfie-kun. May 12th, 2009 7:05 AM

My Silver currently still works...but I think it's starting to die

It asked me to reset the timer when I clicked continue the other night, but when I had the chance to change it, the clock and day were exactly right by default, so I set it and played for a bit, saved and it seems to be ok again.

Are my fears true? Is my fave Pokemon game now beginning to pass away?

Pokemon12345678901 May 12th, 2009 1:33 PM

Yes it has so I'm looking froward for the remakes.
