It would of made sense to make the battery longer than 6 years.

I don't know about that. It makes sense on a certain level in that Nintendo had the foresight to know that eventually, the GBC would be just as obsolete as the original Gameboy, so people would tend to be more interested in the newer consoles and games that came out every few years, before the games played on the dying console blink out due to age.

Also, yes, emulators are fine for GBC games. For newer games, you may run into problems, like fog-filled areas in Ruby/Sapphire being nearly impossible to navigate through if you don't know the layout already or DS ROMs simply not saving. Depends on the ROM, I suppose.

thanks everyone so i should use eather that or that

My Gold Wont Save Either :'( Must Be The Battery!!! lol

Such a disappointing flaw to an otherwise great set of games.

Interesting that Red/Blue/Yellow never went through the same problem... at least not on my end. I don't know if any recorded cases for those have happened like with Gold/Silver/Crystal.

I've bought the battery for my Crystal version... but still haven't gotten around to putting it in. It's easier said then done.

This is happening with my blue.And the battery is fine i mean it still worked after 6 ithink about 8.That's when i heard of Missingno. and 'M,showed my friend,he catches them on my game,now eternal battery save memory busted,it only works if i save every 2 minute and don't get any badges,and now the slightest bump will freeze it.

Actually, that might be because you screwed around with Missingno. A drain on the internal battery doesn't cause the game to freeze, and Missingno has been known to mess with save files on some occasions.

But if it's a new game, it might also be something else with the cartridge itself. As in, you may have actually abused it too much (because, as I've said before, the game shouldn't freeze if your internal battery is messed up).

Oh,i not saying the memory thing is causing it to freeze.All is it's seriosly messed up,than an normal gltch,or battery would occur.And it murdered a metapod when it froze(it got cut up like100 times).And the thing with it being plugged in is known to work,in an old forum some one showed it working when it's plugged it for 100 hours on a new game(even if you save it gives you back your old memory).Just don't shut it off.And if it was to happen on RSE,theres a 100000 to one chance of finding Celebi on a certain route(just a legend but weird since he's the pokemon of time),it was either the memory or time function.

hmm i havent seen missingno at all so yeah i know it wasnt that

I've heard fakes have batteries that don't last very long. Can you get a fake Pokemon game working like a normal if you insert a better battery.
And one more thing, if you remove the cartridge while playing it can damage the game right? Or just the battery?

the same thing happened with mine and my bros games i tihnk it was a manufacturing error
