I recently took out my Gold version and decided to and play. So I go and level myself to lvl 13 before even finishing fighting the dude who always steals a pokemon. That is like 3 levels before the thing evovles into a bayleef. So I decide I am done for the day and save it. I wait for it to finish saving and even exit all menus and I turn off my gameboy. Today when I turned it on it says there are no save files. So I go and start again. I try saving and do the same thing. This time save file is corrupt. Then I mess around with this old memory card that we got for the gameboy, I think it was for gameboy color. Suddenly out of no where an old save file appears on the game. So I save it and exit. Then I go back and try to play again. Save file is corrupt. So then I go create a new game. Save file corrupt. After like three more tries it shows my first game I ever had where I had almost beat the game. So I try to play it and it says save file corrupt. Since then I have tried many different things and I cannot get the save feature to work. I doubt anyone can help me fix it. I just thought I would post incase anyone has had this trouble and gotten past it before me.

Re: Guys, I am having problems with pokemon!
I did.
Maybe since it doesn't work I can open it up. But I will wait for a while until I am sure there is nothing I can do. I guess I can always sell it to gamestop also. Funny the silver version is doing the same thing.I was like a Cloud once!!!!Comment

This title is so similar to a Playground topic.

You're delusional and your Pokemon probably hates you but is too polite to say so.Comment

Re: Guys, I am having problems with pokemon!
Well if you can put it back together, it is a possibility the battery in the game is dead (the one used for keeping the save). This happens in some cartidges which save to to the game using battery backup eventually (since the battery dies, Super Conflict on the SNES was notorious for this). Of course I'm not sure how replacable the battery is if it has one. Some of the catridges used battery back up, while some I believe just used writable ROM chips. I know about the battery back up, but the ROM I'm not sure of since I just know it's possible, but not if it would be more expensive than battery (I imagine it is expensive since it's basically cache memory, while batteries and DRAM are cheap) or if it was implemented.
SO, if pokemon is the ROM type, your screwed and should just buy another one, if it's the battery type, up to you, a new one would be easier as I imagine the battery is soldered on (like the one on your motherboard for your PC for keeing the BIOS settings), so you would have to find the type of battery it uses (hopefully a watch battery but who knows) and resolder it.Last edited by thetruecoolness; 06-20-2006, 03:15 PM.Comment

Shouldn't this be moved to the Video Games section?Comment

Re: Guys, I am having problems with pokemon!
If pokemon were real the sport would be illegal. Its basically cockfighting, but with larger animals that can shoot lazer beams, and slice things in half.
Pikachu would have died long ago. Probably burnt alive or something.Comment

Re: Guys, I am having problems with pokemon!
The games/TV show say that Pokemon love to fight. Not sure if it's the same as that one Pokemon manga where moves like "Drill Horn" are as deadly as they sound."What if like...there was an exact copy of you somewhere, except they're the opposite gender, like you guys could literally have a freaky friday moment and nothing would change. Imagine the best friendship that could be found there."Comment

Re: Guys, I am having problems with pokemon!
Lol. They would take over the world and put us into balls. I will try looking for the battery and see if that is it. Thanks guys.
Oh, yeah, I was going to copy the thread name in the playground but then I decided it wan't a good idea once I realized that the person might get after me, since it sounded like he was having bad problems. So I was lazy and just edited a few words.Last edited by HolyPhoenix; 06-20-2006, 08:17 PM.I was like a Cloud once!!!!Comment

Re: Guys, I am having problems with pokemon!
Mewtwo wold just control there minds. Wait, that sounds like what happened in the movie.
Anyway, I opened it. Sure enough there was a battery. It was attached to the actual cartridge though. This means I may have to re attach another one if I do decide to replace. I am not very good at these things so I was wondering if sodder would work to attach it. Or maybe someone can explain to me that I am wrong and it is not attached. I guess I can always call nintendo and see what they can do about it. Maybe I can get it fixed for free (yeah right).
After I opened it at first I was stupid and decided to bring on the 9V. Anyway I touched the batteries together. Yeah, the 9 volt got hot. Really hot. Anyway, still isn't working. I even tried saving it with the 9 volt touching the other one. I kept the batteries touched and turned off the game. Got back in with them sitll touching. Didn't work. All I figured out from this is how stupid I am with batteries.Last edited by HolyPhoenix; 06-20-2006, 09:15 PM.I was like a Cloud once!!!!Comment

Re: Guys, I am having problems with pokemon!
Well I really doubt it's 9V, and I would be careful doing that as you can burn out some of the circuits with it. So you'll want to find out what voltage the battery is if you want to do that. If you have a camera maybe you could take a picture of the inside and post it here. I imagine if the battery is attached it would be soldered on but I could be wrong. You can try calling nintendo, though they may be wondering why you ever opened the cartridge any may not be helpful, but it wouldn't hurt. So no more trying random batteries until you figure out the voltage. Does the game still start up? I wish I new more about this but I was not an electrical engineering major. Don't really know of anywhere online to look for info on it either.
Though I did just find this
"One of the most irritating things that can happen to an old cartridge game is for the battery that powers the back-up SRAM to die. If you've got a little skill with a soldering iron, you can open up a forgetful cartridge and replace its battery. Nearly all cartridges that have battery back-up use a typical quarter-sized CR2032 battery, and these can be found in any grocery store, department store, or Radio Shack. The tricky part of replacing one of these, though, is how they're connected to the cartridge's printed circuit board (PCB). Invariably the battery will have contacts spot-welded to it, and these contacts will be soldered to the PCB. This assembly can either be replaced by a battery and two wires (which is cheap but rather dangerous, as soldering to a battery isn't a good idea), or by a brand new battery holder that will make replacing the battery easier in the future. Once the old battery has been replaced by a fresh one, it should last at least another good five to ten years." http://namakoteam.com/news.php?id=38
