So, is it just my luck or has anyone elses Gold or Silver versions just erase for no reason? I own the U.S. version of Silver which erased for an unknown reason and wont save any new games and the Japanese version of Gold which also erased for an unknown reason. Is this a flaw in the cartridges or is it just my luck? I was pretty mad since their my fav. versions of the whole series :(

Wow dude...same exact thing happened to me. I fired up my Silver to find no File there at all. Probably because I haven't played in about 2-3 years...but I'm still upset because I had like 10 lv 91 Articunos...and a lv 80+ Umbreon I hand trained which took me forever..to get it to evolve at the right time. :disappoin

After you play a Pokemon game for a certain amount of hours, you're internal battery dies. It seems as if yours died also. There's no way to get it fixed either, I think, so you're just gonna have to go buy yourself a new copy. =/
.......what are you talking about? Game Cartridges don't have batteries.....

yeh i agree with green bulbasaur the most likely answer is your internal battery has died, you can send it to nintendo and they will replace the battery for free, but you must pay for shipping etc. or the connectors in your cartridge or game boy could be dirty and you could fix it with a cleaning kit, or if they are very dirty you could send it to nintendo and they could clean it for you.

Does Nintendo still clean and fix cartridges??Same thing happened with my gold version.Sadly,I had Raikou,Umbreon,Espeon,Feraligatr and many other good Pokemon.Also my brother has had Red version about 6-7 years and it still works and i've had gold only 2-3 years.....I hope this won't happen to the blue version i'm getting next Thursday.

Yes they do. The internal battery is what holds all your savegame data. If that dies, then so do your savegames.
I think the save's saved as a seperate file on the cartredge, I'm pretty sure on that, the battery in G/S just keeps the clock running like a PC's battery does, but yah, my gold erased once randomly, I had like 3 level 100's, a lugia, typhlosion... and... something else... it was like 4 years ago so I don't remember exactly, but I started up a new game after and it's been going fine sence.

I usually leave my games in the car,on my dresser or even in the DEN,most time my saved game is ereased.I look in the part that goes into the GB and see crums or dust and blow it out.
Hint:Don't leave the game cartiges in your pants or shorts you may not even remember it was there until it gets washed and the saved file is gone for good.

I had a level 100 Typhosion,Meganium,Feraligatr,Lugia,Ho-Oh,Entei,Raikou,Suicune.

The internal battery keeps the time of the game. So when the battery dies, the game is unable to keep time, thus it says that there is no time set and that the file is corrupted. Sadly, my Gold version of six years died... I'm sure my brother's Silver version is to follow and I'm replaying my Crystal just to get as much fun from it while it lasts. Sad, because I believe that the Gold/Silver/Crystal generation was the pinnacle of Pokemon gaming.
