2nd Gen Is Gold/Silver dead?

[Zesty Cactus]

My Silver and Crystal's batteries work fine (the clock is a little slow in Silver though), but my brother's Crystal clock only runs while he's playing. The clock battery for my Ruby is dried up too :/

My Pokémon craze came back to me since January.
And talking to people how Silver is the best pokémon game out there, made me wanna boot up my cartridge and waste hours on it, only to find out it's saveless. As well for my boyfriend's Gold AND Silver copy. And same goes with many people it seems, and even used game.

Yet, Red/Blue/Yellow is still kicking proudly. Fnck up.
Is the battery dead for you guys too?

The question has been buzzing around my head for the past month.

The batteries in my Silver, Gold and Crystal versions never died. I can't still load up my old games and play like I did five or six years ago. I don't know why, so don't ask.
