1st Gen Help! My game just got all mixed up!

My best friend gave my sister his yellow version but it didn't work.
EDIT:I hope my friend's silver version that he gave me doesn't die.

Man I just hope that my Yellow version dosen't die on me, but yeah that's a glitch! i've never heard of anything like it!
 
I think the Yellow version is just trying to tell you that it's starting to die. Does it still save and store data? Even when you restart your game, it continues to act abnormal?

++++====~~~~

This is a true story...

I pressed the START button and turned off my Blue version game multiple times once while trying to do the "Extended Mew Glitch", and when I turned the game back on, my BLUE VERSION said it was the Poke'mon RED! The colors were all red instead of blue, and instead of Squirtle appearing first on the title screen, it was Charmander. I never owned a Poke'mon Red nor have I ever played one on my Game Boy Advance. I'll tell you this, IT WAS SHOCKING.

The gameplay was no different, though. Everything was normal except for the color, which was red.

I've had my Blue version for about... three--four years and it's never failed on me. The only time the data got erased was when I tried to save some things on my Poke'mon Stadium game. I was just reorganizing the 123 Poke'mon in my PC boxes... (I must have been pretty stupid to do this, despite of what the warning says in the game, after the Title screen). The screen that said "Without turning off the N64, carefully REMOVE the GAME PAK and then place it back into the Transfer Pak," appeared. (Or perhaps--now that I think of it--I read the message wrong... I don't quite remember what the warning actually said when it came up)

Anyways, I did as it told me, the game said it was saving, but then that same warning popped up. My heart started pounding. I turned off the N64 and put the Poke'mon Blue back into my GBA. When I got past the Title screen, it said, "The save file was destroyed!". My heart just sank. All of that effort into getting all of those Poke'mon... it's all just virtual trash now.

But I'm okay now, because I've already got 85 Poke'mon, including all three starter Poke'mon.

[I know a little secret on how to keep your all Poke'mon, even when you restart your game, but I suppose that's not important right now. Plus, you need a Transfer Pak and any of the Poke'mon Stadium (1-2) games.]

Did that affect the Pok?mon data (Oddish being available, Porygon being 9999C, etc.)?

Don't suppose that involves transfering them to Stadium, reseting the game and then taking them off again?
 
Heh. You guessed it. :\

But it helps if you didn't succeed at catching a certain Poke'mon (such as a Mew, Articuno, etc.). You can still have all of your previous Poke'mon, and catch those you couldn't before.

And no, even after I saved the game as my Blue version was acting like the Red version, it all solved itself when I turned the game back on. In other words, it was all back to normal, so I couldn't really find out what Poke'mon from Red version could be caught, unfortunately. Besides, I thought that the game was going to start freaking out and reset itself.

Whoa, this kinda stuff is really weird and freaky and has neva happened 2 me, except 4 deleted data in the process of cloning. I've had Gold Version 4 almost 5 years as of Sunday (Christmas Day, yay!) and I am approaching 400 hours of Gameplay and it hasn't acted up at all. Except 4 the 1 time I tried to clone my level 100 Typhlosion, my star player on the game I couldn't go on without, and instead I deleted it off my gamepack. I was young back then and I cried for hours. I kinda wish it deleted the whole data so that I wouldn't hav 2 suffer. I'm still trying 2 get ova it, but I guess I deserved it.
 
Sure, of couse Gold, Silver, Crystal and all other games after that are going to "stay alive" longer because they've had improvements and better programming.

Good game programming is to never crash when an unexpected error occurs.

[And this kind of explains why MissingNo./'M Block appear, and that they can possibly destroy saved game data when caught. The R/B/Y are only made so that they program what they're supposed to. Maybe you caught some kind of in-game bug? You know, through in-game trades. But the idea of the game itself dying is a reasonable idea.]

I played my Blue version and it did the exact same thing (it trying to act like PKMN Red), but I turned it off because I got tired.

I don't know what it could be ^^; Yellow tends to glitch more than the other versions, due to the fact that there's so many cheats and all. Um, all I can think of are the cheats where Missingno. comes and all. Um, restart...play through like normal, catch Mew. That's good...Mew seems to be immune to all glitches. Well, the way I played it ^_^
 
Weird, i got my yellow 1 month after launch and it still works perfectly.
 
Game Pak Aging(?)

What I feared is proably starting to happen, finally. I think my Poke'mon Blue is beginning to "die". That or the GBA didn't read the game pack correctly.

There's a total of 154 super glitches, all varied and different. It's very possible that some of you--including me-- have caught some these glitches through in-game trades or other activities and that they're staring to eat away at the game's internal storage system(?). Different combinations of these super glitches can affect different parts of the game, such as:

Saved Memory Files
Poke'mon Slots
Item Slots

I don't know exactly what causes games to crash suddenly without warning, but it could be a great number of things. The cartridge got dirty, there's alot of dust collecting iside the game pack, etc. Most likely, the game is just old. Nothing lasts forever, even if it's dear to us.
