    My Gold and Crystal games died several years ago, but my Silver still works. I've been surprised by how much of a range there has been on the lifespans of the internal batteries.

    Both my Pokemon Crystal and my Pokemon Silver still work. I think the day they stop working I'll bawl my eyes out.

    I also have Pokemon Gold, but weather or not it's still working I wouldn't know as it's somewhere in the house.

  • Last I checked (maybe a few months ago?) all of my 2nd gen games still work, even my R/B/Y games. They've probably survived because I only played them during the time they were current, meaning as soon as 3rd gen came out, I hardly played them anymore. Besides, I've heard you can just take it apart and change the little watch battery inside if it stops working.

    Yep, I actually change internal batteries for a hobby, I like doing handy crafty stuff when I can. Right now my Gold Version cartridge is just being used as storage for a crap battery and some plastic seals though XD

    None of mine work, but I kept my Crystal even though it dosn't, It had all 251 Pokemon, including legit Celebi and Mew from Japan, good times.

    Silver: Won't load.
    Gold: Will load. Graphics glitched. Easily freezes. Won't save.
    Crystal: Will load. Graphics perfect, except for map. Never freezes. Will save. Won't load save game.

    I have a rom of Crystal on my r4, so I can still play it, and save. :)
