All three of mine still work, however, Silver's never the right time. Oh well. As long as they still work, I am a happy camper.

Problems with the internal clock are a telltale sign that the battery is about ready to die altogether. I'd suggest moving all of your Silver pokemon to a different cart.
Pokemon news from the future:
2017: Team Galactic makes alternative energy breakthrough by making car that runs on ground-up Bidoofs.
No ethics complaints whatsoever, supply in Sinnoh expected to run out "sometime after the sun stops burning".

PM me for more news.

I don't have any way to, that's why I went ahead and did everything I could do in the game. It's my favorite, but I also heard that that was not a sign. It just...dies when it dies.

Also, I just checked it. It's perfectly fine, but it thinks it's 8 in the morning when it's actually 7 at night.

My original Gold Version still works great. Playing through it on a reset now.
Same with one of my two Crystals. Both are pre-owned recent purchases.

The second Crystal works well enough. The main problem is the clock no longer works. Basically applies to the morning-day-night cycle. It only just
switched over to morning.

As for my Silver? Dead. Does not keep save files. Otherwise works as long as power is feeding the play source. I'm just glad that Silver is an easy enough game in that 20 hours of play in a speed run can get me to Mt. Silver.

Mine all work, except a few days ago Gold started acting weird, so it's probably around the time it starts deleting the files. But Silver which I've had for about 8 or 9 years, the oldest one of mine, is still working perfectly.

Lol, I own Crystal and Gold, they work perfectly ^^

But sometimes, my game won't connect to another. Odd :\

Heh, the secret is.. I, like, keep them in these little metal things. Keeps it working for me :3

Sads for you :'(

I would give my Crystal/Gold away any day. I'm too accustomed to the 3+4 gen graphics.
