Anybodys Gold/Silver/Crystal still working?
 
Mine is :D. I haven't even had to change its battery yet. Do they break when its saved for 7 years or just after 7 years that its made?

Sydian September 14th, 2009 3:20 PM

All three of mine still work, however, Silver's never the right time. Oh well. As long as they still work, I am a happy camper.

Apostrophe September 14th, 2009 3:26 PM

Problems with the internal clock are a telltale sign that the battery is about ready to die altogether. I'd suggest moving all of your Silver pokemon to a different cart.

Sydian September 14th, 2009 4:02 PM

I don't have any way to, that's why I went ahead and did everything I could do in the game. It's my favorite, but I also heard that that was not a sign. It just...dies when it dies.

Also, I just checked it. It's perfectly fine, but it thinks it's 8 in the morning when it's actually 7 at night.

My original Gold Version still works great. Playing through it on a reset now.
Same with one of my two Crystals. Both are pre-owned recent purchases.

The second Crystal works well enough. The main problem is the clock no longer works. Basically applies to the morning-day-night cycle. It only just
switched over to morning.

As for my Silver? Dead. Does not keep save files. Otherwise works as long as power is feeding the play source. I'm just glad that Silver is an easy enough game in that 20 hours of play in a speed run can get me to Mt. Silver.

PsychoJigglypuff September 14th, 2009 4:34 PM

Unfortunately, my Silver is broken. The save file always deletes when I turn it back on. I was so excited when I found it again, too. >.<

The Roshi September 14th, 2009 4:45 PM

My original silver died. My brother's gold died. But I have a working silver from my cousins right now. I don't play it though... it's really hard to play after getting used to 3rd gen graphics +

Velvex the Øverlørd September 14th, 2009 4:48 PM

Mine all work, except a few days ago Gold started acting weird, so it's probably around the time it starts deleting the files. But Silver which I've had for about 8 or 9 years, the oldest one of mine, is still working perfectly.

Only my Pokemon Crystal works, I keep Gold and Silver as memorial stuff =)


:t354:TG

Lol, I own Crystal and Gold, they work perfectly ^^

But sometimes, my game won't connect to another. Odd :\

Heh, the secret is.. I, like, keep them in these little metal things. Keeps it working for me :3

My Silver's save got deleted... and doesnt save anymore.
(Yellow is still working though o.o)

poke-ranger September 15th, 2009 2:32 AM

Neither work :( I wish they did

DestinyBender September 15th, 2009 2:44 AM

Sads for you :'(

I would give my Crystal/Gold away any day. I'm too accustomed to the 3+4 gen graphics.

morrison September 15th, 2009 2:46 AM

My originally bought sivler is sooo dead. wont keep any save state .
i bought a silver over ebay and this still keeps it. I havent been far on that tho. I made the mistake to sell my perfectly mint gbc.so therefore the only i can play it on is a first gen gba which has a totally scratched screen(off ebay... didtnt see the scratches and sand on their photo at least... so the picture is dark and scratchy

Tofuu September 17th, 2009 7:19 AM

Gold still works I believe. =D

Can't say the same for Silver though.. It doesn't let me save and deleted the saved file I had. D:

GrassGiant September 17th, 2009 3:56 PM

My Silver's still workin fine

Munch Dog September 17th, 2009 4:25 PM

Only my silver still works properly. The batteries in both my Gold and Crystal died. D:

Atomsk, Rocket Grunt September 17th, 2009 5:02 PM

I just beat Crystal again for the bajillonth time a week or so ago. Hell, I'm still playing it on my original Game Boy Color.

Unknown Entity September 17th, 2009 5:24 PM

I still have my Gold silver and Crystal, crystal is dead, Gold and silver still work fine, for some reason I prefer the old games gfx compared to the new gens gfx. >.<

revelp8 September 17th, 2009 5:58 PM

ArcanineOod September 17th, 2009 10:25 PM

My Gold, Silver and Crystal games do not work any more, no...
It's sad, but that's life. =3 Besides, I can't be bothered to change the battery. XD

duChat September 18th, 2009 10:27 AM

My Silver doesn't work anymore. :< I have a working Gold and Crystal, but that silver was my absolute favorite. I got my first-ever level 100 on that cart.

NationalDex September 18th, 2009 3:03 PM

Found my Gold & Silver about a month ago, Gold worked! So I gave it to my little brother. He's almost at Red XD

mikey September 18th, 2009 3:16 PM
