I run all my older games in an emulator, so thanks to save states, I can experiment with glitches without any worry at all!

I haven't experienced any harmful glitches in r/b/y yet.. But my Gold has a weird box. Anything I deposit into a certain box number (can't remember, I think 8?) gets nicknamed TPY or something like that and sometimes changes species and ID/OT. I got a Hitmontop one time with OT IAN instead of BRIAN.. I didn't do any glitching/hacking so I don't know why it does that. ;;

I also had an old Silver with a lot of rares on it and the battery failed so the saved data was lost but when I turned it on a week ago, it could save files again. Evil thing. Not a glitch but great job on leaving me with a level 7 Cyndaquil now. x.x

Yeah, the old missingno glitch red/blue deleted my game. Though I think I had bad pokemon, so its ok.
On another note, how long does a gold/silver/crystal battery last? I'm thinking about buying one again but I'd have to get it used and I don't know if it would still save.

My game has never been deleted by a glitch even though I have used the item duplication glitch in Red and the Glitch City glitch in Yellow multiple times. Then again, I was never interested in catching Missingno anyways, I just wanted to be able to duplicate rare candies to evolve the Pokémon I caught in order to finish my Pokédex in Yellow. If a saved game was deleted, it was voluntary because I got bored with the game after a period of time and wanted to start from the beginning.

So this poll is only for old versions????

Or all the gb and gbc versions?

In any case the data on my silver version were deleted a numerous times but in blue it only happened once!

After that it never happened again for a year(I lost my game after that so I guess the battery is over after so many years so the data were deleted anyway again:P ) and I used MISSINGNO quite a lot!

Im going to explain this predicament now. Old games, from 2nd gen and previous, run off of internal batteries inside the cartridge when it comes to saving. Since these games were made back in 2000 they've long expired. This means save files often run out. Fore more info on buying replacements go here for compatable batteries.

As for the glitches, I have no idea. I myself used to sell clones of pokemon at school and did it hundreds of times on both versions, so I dont think it's that.

Thankfully, all of my old games have no problems.

I did do the Missing No. cheat in Red and it screwed up my Hall of Fame, and now I've done the Mew glitch, but no harm done.

So I'm good.
