Well this is an interesting topic. The problem all Poké fans dread. it's the horrible internal battery. Has yours died yet?

I bought a copy of Pokémon Silver off a friend and I took it home. I got really far into the game and I saved it. Later I came back and the save was deleted...I'm still planning on getting the battery replaced.

Has anyone else had their internal battery die yet?

Omgoodness! Don't even make me think about that- it's such a sad fate for all my pokemon games ( I was reccently given Red, Yellow, Gold and Crystal - which is cool cause i had blue and silver) and NONE of the internal batteries work. Makes me so sad that when I do want to play I can't (well technically I can) use my original copies.

I don't use "uber" Pokemon, I don't calculate stat values,
I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about
natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them
like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this
philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature.

You can't really replace the internal batteries. You can always try to leave the gameboy on for a few hours without doing anything, as this can help to kick some life into the battery, but's not terribly effective.
Funnily enough, the internal battery for my Gold is still fine.

Mine did a while ago with my Gold copy I got the 1st month gold came out quite a while ago, I already duped and traded most to my silver version which still works though.
I don't use any pokemon past those that were in: Red,Blue,Yellow,Silver,Gold and Chrystal versions.Mainly cause I don't even count the Pokemon after as they got very stupid.

Unfortunately, mine has died. I had pretty much beaten my entire way through Silver. I even had a Celebi (used a friend's Gameshark) that was deleted and it filled up my brother's Pokedex. My brother's game is still strong. He has a Shiny Golduck on it so he needs to grab some pictures and video of it before the battery dies.

I played Silver to death so consequently the battery has run dry. It's a real shame, but my Crystal version still works fine... I think *goes to check save game...*

Okay, I've got a Crystal Version with at LEAST 500+ hours! Yeah, I used to play it a lot....anyway, it still hasn't died! It's a miracle! I also have a Silver Version with a lot of hours on it that hasn't died yet.

I figured they would by now, but hey, I'm not complaining!

I can't imagine all the problems people will have when their Pokémon Diamond and Pearl games Internal Batteries start to die.

Looking at my Diamond cartridge, It looks like something you wouldn't want to open unless you were really desperate to fix... It has no screws. Looks like when the internal battery runs out. Your screwed. Buy a new copy. But thats just my guess.

Lets hope it dosen't happen for a very long time..

I stopped playing silver 'cause I didn't want the disappointment of trying to play it one day and nothing happens, but i caught a mareep and named him electroman, and I'm midway through getting a quilava on diamond, so my team'll be complete, with added glaceon!
