Both my Pokemon Crystal and my Pokemon Silver still work. I think the day they stop working I'll bawl my eyes out.

I also have Pokemon Gold, but weather or not it's still working I wouldn't know as it's somewhere in the house.

Last I checked (maybe a few months ago?) all of my 2nd gen games still work, even my R/B/Y games. They've probably survived because I only played them during the time they were current, meaning as soon as 3rd gen came out, I hardly played them anymore. Besides, I've heard you can just take it apart and change the little watch battery inside if it stops working.

Almot all of the Pokemon games I have had still work, except for Crystal, that was my favourite too!

I have a working Crystal and Red Version, my Gold doesn't work anymore.

sCam March 10th, 2010 10:02 AM

I still have silver, but it dosent save anymore. so considered it dusty v_v

TheGearofWar March 10th, 2010 11:18 AM

Yep, I actually change internal batteries for a hobby, I like doing handy crafty stuff when I can. Right now my Gold Version cartridge is just being used as storage for a crap battery and some plastic seals though XD

Sudeki March 10th, 2010 12:29 PM

Yup, Still got my Gold/Silvers working :P, Although I havn't been actually able to use them for a few months now.

gkenzx March 10th, 2010 1:31 PM

my gold and silver both work, my crystals battery is fried however...so sad...crystal was the best :)

spike6958 March 10th, 2010 5:40 PM

None of mine work, but I kept my Crystal even though it dosn't, It had all 251 Pokemon, including legit Celebi and Mew from Japan, good times.

Silver: Won't load.
Gold: Will load. Graphics glitched. Easily freezes. Won't save.
Crystal: Will load. Graphics perfect, except for map. Never freezes. Will save. Won't load save game.

I have a rom of Crystal on my r4, so I can still play it, and save. :)

My brother's Silver version is still working fine.

Cresselia March 13th, 2010 3:31 PM

My Silver Version died. D; Fortunately, my Red and Blue still work!

Chloroform Girl March 15th, 2010 7:12 PM

I have 1 silver and 1 gold, and my brother has Gold too

Lord_Sesshoumaru March 17th, 2010 6:45 AM

I don't know if my Crystal Version still works(I lost it about a few years ago) but my Red Blue and Yellow versions still works..

Soul.//Silver March 18th, 2010 6:23 PM

Up until 3 days ago, my Crystal was still working...and so, after 9 years the battery finally died. Last time I checked, my Silver was still working *hides in a corner and bawls*

Astro*Zombies March 19th, 2010 12:16 PM

My silver version still works.

fluffyfishy March 19th, 2010 2:21 PM

I have Gold and Crystal and they both still work! It's pretty fun to play whenever you are bored.

Chrisbob78 March 19th, 2010 4:52 PM

My Silver and Red work. My Blue had a Mew but it is dead.

curiousnathan March 19th, 2010 5:04 PM

All of my games still work. My Crystal, Gold and Silver all work perefectly considering that I have had the for a couple of eyars now. I think 5.. or 6.

Dark_Espeon March 20th, 2010 4:44 AM

Same here, all of my games work, even Red/Blue (though they tend to be glitchy). When you consider how many hours of gameplay they must have racked up since, it's pretty incredible.

GlitchCity March 20th, 2010 6:12 AM

My Gold version died many years ago because I left it in my pocket and it was put in the washer. But the good news is that my Crystal version still works.

Lucariotoes March 20th, 2010 6:40 AM

Just bought one. Silver, to be exact, since I cannot afford SoulSilver.

.hack March 20th, 2010 6:51 AM

2nd Gen: I have 3 Silver games and one Crystal and none of them have died on me. But for some reason one of the Silvers corrupted when I took it out of my Gba and put it in my Gbc. I noticed that it corrupts every time the console played on changes however it won't corrupt using the same one so it now has a perma spot in my gbc. The other two silvers are fine to my knowledge. I played one recently and it was working fine. The other one was working last time I played it but that was a while ago, infact I'll check on it soon. Crystal is great, when my Red was dying due to MissingNo. I traded a load of pokes over to Crystal (Not MissingNo. obvly) and I figured it'd most likely corrupt having loads of pokes from a glitched game but it didn't and still works to this day very well. I was given a Pokemon Gold for free which broke within a month of getting it.

All my first gen games work fine as long as I refrain from purposefully glitching them.

BHwolfgang March 20th, 2010 6:57 AM

No, all of them either had a corrupted save file or just died on its own. It was a shame, though. I put so much work into each of those games...

... Well, at least I have SoulSilver to satisfy me.

Tsutarja March 20th, 2010 6:17 PM

I have all GBC games (with 2 Golds and 2 Yellows). All but one of my Yellows work, and I can't get my Red to read without having it pressured (holding onto it). And I lost the Yellow that works. >_>
