    Are you sure it didn't just drop on the floor somewhere?
    Or maybe your parents took it away. ^^;

    No, it's never happened to me before, I'm especially careful of where I put my games before leaving them 'alone.' xD

    Oh, I thought you lost the cartridge. xP
    So, do you mean your game was deleted? Or did your DS black out?
    I remember my Ranger game not showing up when I tried to start it, maybe you should just take it out and put it back in. And try starting it again.

    I'm surprised your still using AR. I quit using it. Even though you could do whatever you want, it's a lot more fun to train w/o cheats. I'd only cheat to get infinite BPs for EV training items, and get the event Pokémon Items, and that's it.

    Back on topic: Yes, it has happened to me. On anohter game though. I got bored one day and wanted to play some more Pokémon Gold, and I had to start a completely new game. Now, even though I haven't played it in years, I still remember I saved my game. When I restarted, I saved. Turned it back on and the file was deleted again. It really pissed me off.

    Nope, that never happened to me before.
    The cartridge might be fake or your game might have been corrupted.
    Using an AR can ruin your game.

    Correct, happened to me before. My game was corrupted after using the AR too much. >.< I learned my lesson to not use it anymore.

    Nope never happend to me though i did have a crystal version that would save right and then lose the save file over night. if i put it under a heavy object it would keep the file, go figure :\ I dont bother with AR i only use it to get all the TM's ive seen to many incidents with corrupt games and i dont want it to happen to me

    nope not all except after I got my Regigigas after i started it up the gamwent to the new game thing and i restarted it and my save came back

    I've used my AR to walk through stuff and train Pokemon for Revolution and maybe caught Shaymin, Darkrai, and Arceus where they were supposed to be (Flower Paradise, Newmoon Island, and Hall of Origin)

    I really screwed with EVERYTHING like at varlor the lake was normal but the commander was in the cave and those two grunts in veilsone refuse to budge
    do not try to help me
    sorry for kinda bein off topic

    maybe you closed it by mistake when it says "saving, do not turn off power"?

    since you own the game, IT MIGHT BE legal for u to download it from the net.

    If your Emerald game was a fake, then Diamond/Pearl will delete the file if it detects it to prevent forgeries; I had a fake Emerald and the same happened to me. Now, I just trade anything from my Emerald to my legit Sapphire and PalPark it from there.

    Fake as in ROM right?
    How would you trade your pokemon from
    emerald to your sapphire? O_O'

    ONTOPIC:
    Are you serious? D/P/Pt can actually do that o_o'
    That seems a bit far fetched... Are you sure it wasn't
    sheer coincidence that he migrated the pokemon before it got deleted?
    I mean, the same thing happened to me with Mother 3...
    It saved fine and I even double checked (turned it off and then on)
    but once I turned it off for the night, it got deleted the next day.

    Something's watching us... O_O
    Anyway, this hasn't happened to me (yet, probably)
    I'm planning to migrate my unauthentic emerald
    pokemon to Pt when I have the chance (i'm only
    at the first gym with a level 18 Combusken and
    16 Lombre so not enough pkmn yet T-T)

    I'll try this when I have the chance, but I'll back up
    the .sav just in case..

    i'm certain my Emerald isnt fake unless Walmart has started selling fake copies of pokemon games =x

    i bought my platinum used from GameCrazy (holywoodvideo's equivilant to gamestop) and there pretty good about the quality of thier games (bought my Diamond/Pearl there to) but i guess if it happens again i'll need to exchange it =x
