Has your game battery died yet.

[Green Special]

Well, if you didnt already know, theres a nickel-shaped battery in the R/S/E game packs.
I've had mine for a long time now, but nope, still hasn't died. I believe the battery was meant for saving memory and the time thingy in pokemon. The gameboy didn't have memory, so data could not be saved on to it.

[Near]

i knew nothing about this and my game is still runningso i guess ithasn't run out

[Lord Darkrai 66]

My game battery hasn't died yet. The only time I think it would die is when the game has been played for 10+ years. The games have been out since 2003. I have had Ruby and Sapphire since it came out. I have 5 years on the battery so 5 more long life years.

[pikachu25king]

mine hasnt yet either.

[MagmarMan]

I've lost a Blue and a Gold, but not a Ru/Sa/Em. I think the Advanced and DS batteries are a lot better.

[L is Real 2041]

No my game hasn't died yet. But i have lost a Gold. And am losing a Crystal.:sad:

[Green Special]

hmm..i think the gba batteries were built so they lasted for a long time. BTW, ds ones don't have batteries, the ds itself already has some physical memory.

[JentleViolence]

The RSE batteries die?! Oh, this is sad.

My batteries for my Emerald haven't died yet, thankfully.

-begins to migrate her Pokemon from RSE to Pearl*

[Chaos Rush]

Actually, the batteries on R/S/E only control the what time it is. Once it runs out, you can't grow berries and all time-related events will no longer work (like the Shoal Cave), so you will NOT lose your save file once it dies.

And once it dies, you can repair the battery if you have Pokemon FR/LG/E, 2 Gameboys, and a Link Cable.

[Pikachu_Two_Trainer]

I heard of that fix. Could you tell me how it works?

[Team Pokemon]

I heard of that fix. Could you tell me how it works?

It is very simple. Just follow this (http://www.serebii.net/pokemon_advance/berry.shtml) guide.

[Pikachu_Two_Trainer]

Okay, thanks alot:happy:

[Lord Darkrai 66]

My Gold Version is dying because it can't hold the correct time and always asks for a password.

[firepoke4ever]

None of mine have, but my brother's Emerald might have. All of his berries he planted don't grow, and he has a clear-out sale all the time. He's been playing for over 600 hours, so that might be why.

[Lord Darkrai 66]

Your Brother has over 600 hours! No wonder his battery died!

[waltzh]

he has a clear-out sale all the time
EH? HOW I ENVY HIM.

[Pikachu_Two_Trainer]

Wait that is called the berry glitch. It happens to some games. It stops time events, like berries and the blow out sales. Lucky for him, it happend when the blow out sale was happening

[Manni]

A friend of mine has a Pokemon Ruby and when you are going to play it says something about the battery but you can still play the game!!!!

[Green Special]

yeap its called the beryy glitch...you can fix it by linking to a gamecube pokemon game [forgot which one] or linking to leafgreen or firered. I think it transfers a little power to last a few more years?

[Crystal king]

*Sigh* My Ruby AND Sapphire have lost all their power so i have the berry glitch....I also thought if you transfered Jirachi over from the Colloseum bonus disk it would completely get rid of the problem....but i tried it and it didn't work. on the up side my game sometimes has the glitch gone, maybe thats a glitch!

[parsol lady]

no my battrey is good

about the battery i think it's only for saving the time so if it dies i not worryed it's so big deal if it can't save the time

[Manni]

The battery can die if you make many new games?

[EveeLover]

Yes I think so.. no mine has not yet died.

[Pikachu_Two_Trainer]

It dies and stops time events, but still, you can save...

[Primal Mario]

yep sometimes it does

[Pikachu_Two_Trainer]

Sometimes does what?

[Bolt Master Seth]

i don't think so, berrys are growin fine in ruby, and i havn't been on sapphire in months so i really couldn't tell ya on that one lol

[Pikachu_Two_Trainer]

I think the battery lasts for 559 hours of playtime. To fix the berry glitch, trade to a game cube game

[Rekhyt]

Wow. EIght years worth of games, and no game batteries dead.

I'm as unbeleiving as you guys are.

[Pikachu_Two_Trainer]

You are lucky. But same here, I have all the games, and r/b/y, g/s/c were used. only gold turned out to be a dud.

[Trainer17]

Lol, none of my games have experienced this.
All runs perfectly fine xD

[Pikachu_Two_Trainer]

Yup, only games that have been used for 5 or years usally start to fail

[Eiyoko]

I don't have two GBAs. Is there a way to fix this with a gamecube game or something? I finally got a good natured Kyogre and I can't put it in the Pal Park for my Diamond game ; ;

[Splishee]

My old Sapphire game, after a while, just couldn't save anymore. All my saved files were automatically deleted, I had to leave the gameboy on a charger during the night when I didn't play it. XD Not the best idea, but I didn't do it for long. I got a new Sapphire after about a year of the save file dead and.. well.. that one got deleted by my stupid, clueless friend. >_<

[ArKannine]

yeah, nothing never happened to my ruby.it got a little mor than 1 year

[Milotic Angel]

I only knew that there was a saving glitch thingy in g/s/c. My silver died and my brother's, (llama commando) gold died. I only had like 30 hours on the thing! So that's nowhere near 600!!!! I just don't know why it gave so early. I had around 350 hours on my ruby though.(and it still works):banana:

[Mister Pokémon]

GBA-games have recharging batteries. Recharging happens, when you play, so you should just play sometimes or even have the game on.

None of my batteries haven't died, but Ruby's could die pretty soon, because I don't play it at all.

Yeah, the key to pokemon games seems to be leaving them on while they're charging in a GBA SP. This prevents the internal battery from dying or something.

I have some old games that are still perfectly fine and I credit this method.

[ShoyruX]

I had Red Blue and Yellow since they came out, and I'm proud to say they're still running. My Ruby is fine too :-)

[Finch]

My Gold and Silver died from overuse. Like many others, though, I'm still the proud owner of a working Blue cart.

[TeirusuFX]

My List of PKMN Games

Red: Dead: Can't save because, one, it's a fake, and two, I accidently caught a Missing Uno

Yellow: Works: But if I don't touch it for a long time, it eventually resets

Gold: Daed: Broke after I used the Game Shark, curses

Crystal: Works: This one is in 100% condition

Sapphire: Works: Same thing as Yellow, except this one is a fake, so I can't migrate Pokemon

Pearl: Works: Are you kidding? 100% condition

[coolkidsam]

I didnt even know about this!
well my works fine. :D

[Spartan777]

My silver that just needed 2 more pokemon mew and celebi died when i was just going to transfer a mew from blue that i got from the mew glitch :angry:

not for ruby, sapphire or emerald, but it often happens now for
pokemon gold and silver. my brother's died in his gold version.
he replaced it, but it wasnt facined. so every time it shifted, it deleated his
file. with a gameshark, he was able to retrieve bits of info from his corrupt
files, but not enough to play them, unfortunatally. :tongue:
same thing for ruby sapphire and emerald. but i believe you can retrieve
more info if that happens on these games. you'd have to hack it though,
ofcoarse. but i wouldnt consider it as hacking in a bad way. if your save
file is corrupt to where it actually deleats your old file, you ARE able to get
it all back. itd take some work though. and you need the right kind of battery.
--thats a given, though. lol

[Full_Metal_Al]

i have 573 hours, and no problems on my saphire, nut i trade ALOT with my ruby and emerald. i have 40+ level 100s, so i dont wanna loss all that!!

[parsol lady]

only Silvers battery has died for me

[k_pop]

I'm one hour away from 500 in my Emerald with no problems...and mine was a used game that I restarted! :silly:

[Beavs1Fan]

not yet but mine is old:happy::biggrin:

[bobtail]

i got r/s/e and the battery hasn't died on any of them

[raganbaby_6]

No.

But I heard about this from my cousin. You have to have had the game for six years, or so she told me.

[Gym Leader Ken]

Lets see of all my PKMN games..

Red - still works
Yellow - still works
Blue - still works


Sapphire - still works
Emerald - (just got it brand new on christmas 07) - so..it still works.

Leafgreen - still works
Firered - still works

Crystal - still saves but wont keep time.
Crystal( yes, i have two) - still saves and keeps time.
Gold - has a new internal battery, so not worries on that.

[Green Special]

ken would you trade my pokemon mystery dungeon game for your crystal game if i asked you

[Kenneth]

ken would you trade my pokemon mystery dungeon game for your crystal game if i asked you

Uh.... how would you get it to him? O_o

[thunderskain]

Lol there has been many threads like these in tthis forum.Well the cartridge's battery helps you to save your game.Once the battery is run out,your safe file will be deleted and other new gsave file wont save.To fix this just buy a battery of the same code(cant remember whats the no. of the battery)and carefully detach the battery and place the knew one in,though you will have to start a new game.So if you have used for probably 3 years,then prepare for the worst.

[takeru takaishi]

Only my silvers and gold batterys have stoped working, but they have been fixed and are working again, trough ill never see shiny typhlosion agin!

[oceaniz]

i wasn't prompted that the game has already run dry..but the berries i planted doesn't seem to grow..

[Pika-Ash]

the save thing or internal battery runs out very quickly in copied unhacked games but not in the original ones i have only one real ruby(complete pokedex) and it still saves after 4 years!!

p.s original games are unaviable in my country

[i am awsumness 2]

Yesterday my Emerald said the Internal battery had run dry, and i've only had it for a couple of years! It says theres no clock based events, but i can still play it...:sad:

[Nitrous Oxide]

Yep, I can't save games in my Blue, Red, Yellow or Gold versions anymore.

[Black Hawk]

Speak of the devil, my silver just died!.

[pokemaster493]
