    It seems as if everyone who owns Pokemon Crystal, including myself, still have their saved data. Is there any reason for this?

    Yeah, now that you think of it one time I played my Crystal for about 1000 hours and it still works. I was addicted to it at that time (and still play it today except I made a new date :()

    I still play it every now and then. I never had any save data problems.

    I still play from way back then, I randomly restart it or my cousin lends it. It's very addicting and I rate it still the best out of all the games.

    -_- I made this thread to know if the deta problem that exists in Gold and SIlver exists in Crystal, because I have yet to meet someone who's had problems with it.

    There's actually been reports on the 'net that, yes, it does eventually go bad. (Mine has yet to do so, personally, but then again, my copy of Silver lasted pretty much until last year, and even after it deleted its own save file, it still saves without a problem for one weird reason or another.) Crystal uses the same type of internal battery that Gold and Silver use, so it's logical that it might actually happen. It's just that it's difficult to say, as there's no specific set time for a battery to expire -- just an estimated time.

    Yeah, it goes bad. Mine went bad in '06. Of course my Crystal Version was primary GSC game (actually my favorite of the entire series!), so I'd upload your save file while you can and download a ROM so that you don't lose all that data you worked so hard to get.

    Lol, Crystal dies so easily. Gold never died on me. For 9 years, in the washer, in a pool, not once did it die.

    Watch you drop it on your bed and it dies. xP

    Crystal, Gold, and Silver all all dead. Silver unnaturally; the washer. Ash for the other two, they just died. Never saw a point in restarting them.

    My ruby died before my gold\silver did, and my friend's gold died soon after he gave it to me.


    >How do you fix the internal battery problem in ruby? I have an emerald and have tried the glitch fix using link cable, with no success.

    My red died 2 and i restarted (have had it on for 224 hours on sp plugged in)

    My Crystal seems to have died. I found it the other day and it has no save file. So I started again, played for an hour and saved. I turned it back on the next day and it was gone again. -_-

    No. My Crystal, Silver and Gold versions haven't got their saves erased since I got them back in two thousand or two thousand and one. I'd say that Crystal can get its file wiped as it runs on the same internal battery.
