    The one for my Gold version died a long time ago...I'm glad my Silver is still fine though, after 8 years^^

    But one of my friends has Emerald and he had EVERYTHING- as in all the Pokemon, all the items, EVERYTHING AS IN 100% complete. And then one day while I was talking to him on the phone and he suddenly started crying, and when I asked him what was wrong...well, I think you can fill in that blank...such a sad story....

    My pokemon Gold's battery has run out.

    My little brother's Silver Battery has been dead for 3 years :(.

    ...My pokemon Crystal Battery life is still alive. Maybe I'll go play it again one day :).

    Yeah, it has. We replaced it with a watch battery and now it works fine.

    Except for one weird moment where I got stuck in a wall and had to reset. (Lesson learned. Save more often then every 2.5 hours. You never know when a wall will eat you.)

    I don't care about any before Crystal...everything on them was transferred to Crsytal.

    Crystal died off, and the file was gone. Really strangely, I checked it again like six months later to start a file for fun, and the file was back. Strange...

    My Silver cartridge is the only one I have that's dead, as it's the only one that I've owned since it was originally released. I lost both my old Gold & Crystal cartridges, but the used ones that replaced them still work.

    Strangely, all of my R/B/Y cartridges still work, even though I've owned them all since '99.

    What happens if your internal battery dies? Its a bit of a nooby question but i want to know how i can prevent it from occurring.

    It could mean a game getting deleted after saving, that's my vote. That and ones that keep time (Crystal) wont keep it correctly.
    How you can prevent it? Sadly I dont think you can.

    I've had the same problems with G/S/C, further reading on the web revealed that others have left the game running for 24+ hours on a sp. Doing so can recharge your battery.

    Recently tried with Crystal, after 24 hours tried saving and have since continue to magically save. Thought this advice might be useful, as i would have loved to known before i threw away an old copy of Gold.

    The Gold version of my game died after not too long. I never got into it when I had the chance.

    Where can I buy a new battery and how do I install it? And if you use the recharging the battery by playing the game on the sp, how long is the battery expected to hold the charge.

    I just bought myself a pokemon silver version off ebay, but when it arrived it wouldn't save. So I want to replace the batteries, but don't know how. Until today I didn't even know these batteries existed, that's actually how I found this site.

    Well this is an interesting topic. The problem all Poké fans dread. it's the horrible internal battery. Has yours died yet?

    I bought a copy of Pokémon Silver off a friend and I took it home. I got really far into the game and I saved it. Later I came back and the save was deleted...I'm still planning on getting the battery replaced.

    Has anyone else had their internal battery die yet?

    The exact same thing happened to me! But this time, I had Pokemon Crystal.
