2nd Gen Has your internal battery died yet?

SnowRaven said:
I only ever owned Gold, but through trades and luck (no cheating at all) I had managed to get every pokemon. I lost it all when the battery died. I changed the battery and it works fine again, however I understand that there aren't enough people who play G/S/C anymore for me to repeat my accomplishment. I play it occasionally for nostalgia. It had my favorite storyline so far, and introduced some of my favorite pokemon, Octillery, Ampharos, Houndoom, Heracross, Lanturn, etc. Ahh...The memories....

There are plenty of people who still play, aren't there? I see people with RBYGSC all the time at sanctioned TCG events. You just have to look for them, I suppose. although... Why bother refilling that dex when you have a new dex to fill? =P
 
My Gold and Red still work fine, it's Sapphire that died for me. I don't know how but the battery became dislodged when I was playing it with a friend in the car and now it will not even load due to the battery being completly removed. I almost cried as well as I had just seen Latias :(
 
Mwahahaha I just got a CycloDS so I don't need an internal battery!
Real time save FTW!

But yer my gold died a while ago
 
My Silver version worked just fine after it got wet (Along with my GameBoy, there were water droplets inside the screen but it worked perfectly). I lost it a few years ago, but I still have a working copy of Gold.
 
Had it since '01 and still she's still working as if it was brand new. If it does though, I've already planned it anyway, JUST IN CASE (lol).
 
NONE of my games has had the internal battery die out yet I THINK, my blue version from 1998 still loaded my original save when i tried it a few weeks back, which im proud of lol
 
My silver's battery died, guessing about 50-100 hours playtime on it, sucks :S

I think I bought it used though, so that might explain it.
 
Nope, it hasn't!
I have Gold and Crystal.
 
My battery on my Crystal hasn't died yet...but I don't play it much...heh heh heh.
 
All the internal batteries on my pre-third gen games have died...except my Yellow. Funny story, though, if you experiment with glitches a bit too much you're save file will not only be deleted, but the entire cartridge will blow out. At least I have Emerald and Diamond...
 
My Silver died, but my Gold and Crystal are still good as new. I don't really care about them anyway, though. And when I got Silver, the battery was alredy dead. Gamestop ripped me off!
 
my gold and silver died, but i replaced them. 8]
i didnt even use a soldering iron (cbf'd) i just used medical tape. *retard smile*
my crystal hasnt died yet.. im thinking it will soon.

do the r/b/y games die?
cause ive had my red for like as long as its been out and ive used it so much the label is barely readable.
and it hasnt died.
 
My silver is a little hard to start up, but the internal battery is still chugging along :)
 
Red, Yellow, Crystal (currently missing) and Pokemon Trading Card game (the gb game) still work.

My gold is long dead but not because of the battery since I can still load it up and make a new game.. just no saving and no professor in the intro talk about pokemon..

I've had them since they were originally released so.. not bad lifespan
 
Gold and Silver died a while ago but I still have crystal, although I suspect it won't last for much longer.
 
Other than my gold deleting itself again, my silver and crystal had no time when i loaded them. Other than that, the IB works perfectly after 7-8 years.
