Mmhm. Well.
I doubt this makes sense, but...I was playing my Fire Red about two second ago. My Togepi used Metronome. It used Ice Beam, which in turn froze the enemy Pikachu. I was like, "YAY!". So I took a chance, and used Metro again.

...

"Togepi used Thunder Wave!"
-animation effect-
-buzzing sound-
-game locks up-
Me: "What the hell...?"
Me: -turns gba off, then back on. Goes through proceedings, and goes to the opening menu wheeeennn....-
Game: "The save data was corrupted. The save data was deleted." (Or something like that)
Me: OAO WTF!? What just happened?!
Me: -turn off, restart...gets same message.-
Me: OAO'' Oh...Oh crap.

Yeah, I've heard about the RS thing, but haven't heard about it in FRLG. It's never happened to me, but I have "lost" my save file before. If you haven't started a new game, try turning on the game once again and seeing if it's still there. My Sapphire told me that the save file was deleted, and I freaked out like you wouldn't believe. At the time, my Sapphire was storage, and it had Pokemon that were at least three years old, so you can only imagine. After a while of screaming and crying, I turned it back on to see if my eyes had decieved me, and there was my file. I never took it for granted after that incident. I think I started saving every five steps...

Ouch! What a bummer! Jeez, this sort of thing happens to GBA/DS games a lot, huh?

For instance; on my Diamond, I hadn't played for ages after restarting my game. I decided to get up to the Elite Four, because I was extremely bored and I was only up to the, what... 6th gym? Anyway, I trained my Torterra, Infernape and my Staraptor like crazy and got them both up to about lv. 60, which was, IMO, enough to beat Cynthia. So I get to Victory Road, spend about half an hour fighting my way through that, then I get through the tunnel, into the Pokemon League and start the battle with Aaron, and guess what? MY GAME FREEZES. It happens all the time on my Final Fantasy 3 as well. Argh... :(

>>;;;; I found out the cause! Apparently my friend'd been screwing around on it with his action replay.

Go figure.

Togepi used thunder wave on the cartridge.

The only logical answer.
And of course , the game became paralyzed .So comic when you think of it , also on my Sapphire something simmilar happened . And I wanted to see Sheer Cold's animation and I used Metronome w/ a Clefable : Wheeeee SheCol hits ! Game freezed , then I lost my 4 hour unsaved progerss ;_; .

My leafgreen kept on freezing and I was training my weedle to level 9, let it evolve, then level up once and let it evolve. I got it to level 9 and the game froze. I got really frustrated because I didn't save. Next day I got him to level 10 and got a beedrill (Yes I kept on saving after every battle) and played through the story. I got to the SS Anne and when I got to the part where you battle Gary, it froze and froze, over and over, time after time, repeating and repeating, get the idea? So I took it back to Gamestop and exchanged it for my Firered and I haven't had any problems with it.
:chu:

Finished the FR/LG monotype a loooooong time ago. Not that anyone cares though.

When I was playing Platinum yesterday, for kicks I decided to ride around in Jubilife. I spazzed out on the D-Pad and my game froze for several seconds (to my surprise) and the screen went white, which completely locked up the game. Since I had saved before doing it, I restarted the game, and an entire portion of Jubilife was in an unwalkable void (which completely surprised me, as the void isn't supposed to be accessible in Platinum, much less without doing anything). Leaving to Route 204 and coming back in fixed the problems.

I know that was Gen IV, but it still applies (somewhat).

This.

It really is a coincidence that an electric attack managed to trigger it somehow.. xD;

Sucks that you lost your game file, though. D: Really.

It's so weird, though.. I always read posts/stories about how that happened to people during game play so randomly, and to quite a few people who have played the games. Yet out of my 12 years of Pokemon playing, I've never had that happen once.. >_>; not even a lock up without file corruption. ..of course I probably just jinxed myself, but yeah. Weird stuff. x_x;

That happened to me once!

I had just gotten back from the pokemon 10th birthday celebration (best day of my LIFE!!) and I played one of the games I got loaded up with awesome pokemon (happened to be the one I had celebi on) and 'poof' it all goes away.

Like any ten year old, I go to my mom and say, 'mom, my game went away, can you fix it?'

Sorry buddy ):
You've never known crazy until you've spent time with two fifteen-year-old pokemon obessed girls.
