    hey guys! i'm in need of some help! I'm a old school pokemon fan. I happen to love pokemon blue. I want to save the games but the game no longer saves. I've recently found a memory card on ebay. Can I save the game on that card without it working on the game? and if I can't can anyone tell me a way to save my pokemon blue game! it was my first game ever! i enjoyed it more than any other game i've ever had. thanks for all the help!
     
    Call me stupid, but when could you use a memory card for a GB game? o.0 Never heard of it.
     
    A memory card for Pokémon Blue, that doesn't make sense. And it doesn't save anymore, shouldn't it still save as long as you get rid of an existing file. Well, if you don't wanna get rid of an existing file on your cartridge and aren't willing to a get a new one then emu it.
     
    Are you sure you are talking about the right game here? Not any of the pokemon versions have a memory card you can buy for it. Seeming you said 'an old school pokemon fan' you could have mistaken the GBA game for a pokemon game on the Nintendo 64 like pokemon snap or stadium, if not then i have no idea what you are talking about. XD

    The internal battery in the cartridge is dead. It's what cartridge-based games used to save data on, in place of a memory card.

    So, you/your friend/the original topic starter/whoever will have to open the cart and change the battery. This is difficult, as Nintendo carts have custom 'flower' screws in the back, that are hard (but not impossible) to get open without a Nintendo screwdriver. I had my brother get mine open with a little pair of plyers (sp?). Anyways, once you get it open you'll see the battery inside, and it *should* have a model number written on it. Take the battery with you to your local hardware store/Radioshack/wherever, and find a new one. The one I bought for Gold Version was $3. Replace the battery and voila. It should work. If, for whatever reason, it doesn't (I had a copy of Super Mario World that had this problem, but it didn't seem to be related to the battery), then the only real option is to get a new copy.

    Alternatively, I've read somewhere that Nintendo will replace any drained batteries free of charge, provided you pay for shipping and such. Consult Google for more on that.

    Given the amount of work involved, and Blue Version's age, it would probably be easier to just buy a new copy off eBay, or just emulate it.

    Huh didn't know that could happen, good to know. All I gotta say its just another reason for Nintendo to ditch the cartridge format for good.
     
    i have had the intenal battery die on every one of the pokemon games i have bought and it does not effect if your games save or not.
     
    thanks so much for the battery replacing idea! I appreciate it! and there is a memory card for the Gameboy. Its called the Mega Memory Card. It allows you to back up stuff. just google it
