Gold & Silver
 
So, is it just my luck or has anyone elses Gold or Silver versions just erase for no reason? I own the U.S. version of Silver which erased for an unknown reason and wont save any new games and the Japanese version of Gold which also erased for an unknown reason. Is this a flaw in the cartridges or is it just my luck? I was pretty mad since their my fav. versions of the whole series :(

Rioku_Zanketa June 26th, 2006 7:25 AM

yea..my silver was erased by itself for no reason at all as well..but then again...I think it was because I haven't played it in a while....when was the last time you played yours?..

Alistair June 26th, 2006 7:39 AM

Ya, that happened with my Silver too. But this belongs in the Metal/Color Generation thread.

RichterB June 26th, 2006 7:56 AM

oops, my b i didnt see the other thread, but yeah i actually played it alot last july and it was working fine, then one day i just turned it on and said new game without a continue, my heart dropped because a few days earlier i completed my pokedex :\

Wow dude...same exact thing happened to me. I fired up my Silver to find no File there at all. Probably because I haven't played in about 2-3 years...but I'm still upset because I had like 10 lv 91 Articunos...and a lv 80+ Umbreon I hand trained which took me forever..to get it to evolve at the right time. :disappoin

lol then your very lucky but dont jynx yourself XD! i was thinking about buying a used one cause i seen a few around but im afraid either its just going to die on me again or their already dead and ppl traded them in anyway. why do my fav games out of the whole series have to be the ones with the problems?! :[

Exokriz June 28th, 2006 5:57 AM

I wonder if there is a way to fix this problem....

(No wonder people havent been answering my thread, they've all been answering yours =P)

After you play a Pokemon game for a certain amount of hours, you're internal battery dies. It seems as if yours died also. There's no way to get it fixed either, I think, so you're just gonna have to go buy yourself a new copy. =/

.......what are you talking about? Game Cartridges don't have batteries.....

dnt-worry-im-from-the-net July 1st, 2006 3:45 AM

yeh i agree with green bulbasaur the most likely answer is your internal battery has died, you can send it to nintendo and they will replace the battery for free, but you must pay for shipping etc. or the connectors in your cartridge or game boy could be dirty and you could fix it with a cleaning kit, or if they are very dirty you could send it to nintendo and they could clean it for you.

Red1530 July 1st, 2006 4:29 PM

This happned to me because of dirt in on the cartrige.

Aust77 July 1st, 2006 4:53 PM

Does Nintendo still clean and fix cartridges??Same thing happened with my gold version.Sadly,I had Raikou,Umbreon,Espeon,Feraligatr and many other good Pokemon.Also my brother has had Red version about 6-7 years and it still works and i've had gold only 2-3 years.....I hope this won't happen to the blue version i'm getting next Thursday.

Yes they do. The internal battery is what holds all your savegame data. If that dies, then so do your savegames.

I think the save's saved as a seperate file on the cartredge, I'm pretty sure on that, the battery in G/S just keeps the clock running like a PC's battery does, but yah, my gold erased once randomly, I had like 3 level 100's, a lugia, typhlosion... and... something else... it was like 4 years ago so I don't remember exactly, but I started up a new game after and it's been going fine sence.

Pokemon Master 4ever July 2nd, 2006 7:12 AM

I usually leave my games in the car,on my dresser or even in the DEN,most time my saved game is ereased.I look in the part that goes into the GB and see crums or dust and blow it out.
Hint:Don't leave the game cartiges in your pants or shorts you may not even remember it was there until it gets washed and the saved file is gone for good.

I had a level 100 Typhosion,Meganium,Feraligatr,Lugia,Ho-Oh,Entei,Raikou,Suicune.

RichterB July 4th, 2006 11:45 AM

well good news, my friend was searching through his games the other day and found his silver and knowing that mine died he just gave me his! :shocked: i fired it up and found that yes indeed the save feature still works :D

~Patrick~ July 4th, 2006 12:40 PM

Hmm I wonder if I sped up the death the Internal battery, from the number of times I abruptly turned off the game while saving while using the cloning trick...

I abused that cheat alot..must've done it about 100 times.

You think that might've contributed to the death of my internal battery?

RichterB July 4th, 2006 1:42 PM

yeah maybe, at this point im guessing its a problem with only the GSC versions because mine and everyone elses RBY still work fine and thier even older cartridges. i hope this problem wasnt continued though with RSE and even future games :nervous:

oni flygon July 4th, 2006 1:58 PM

The internal battery keeps the time of the game. So when the battery dies, the game is unable to keep time, thus it says that there is no time set and that the file is corrupted. Sadly, my Gold version of six years died... I'm sure my brother's Silver version is to follow and I'm replaying my Crystal just to get as much fun from it while it lasts. Sad, because I believe that the Gold/Silver/Crystal generation was the pinnacle of Pokemon gaming.

Ok
Im new 2 this Forum thing and yer...

Red1530 July 6th, 2006 6:16 AM

The only way to get Celebi in the GSC generation is to use a gameshark. The codes for Gold and Silver can be got here. The codes for Crystal can be got here.

Aggron-x-Ryder July 6th, 2006 5:28 PM

hmmm.... ok
i dnt hav game shark... lol tho i was gonna getr Celebi on one of those Westfield things where they hav those machines.... oh well, thanks anyways

lucifer_666 July 11th, 2006 3:50 PM

That happened to my Gold verson once, but i'm pretty sure that was because I dropped my game boy down the stairs whilst playing it :/ lol

Shiny July 12th, 2006 2:43 AM
