Tried to change the battery, Crystal still isn't saving.

I've had this cartridge for nearly two decades now, but it's never been able to save.

I finally got around to buying CR2025 batteries for it, but it's still not saving after I turn the power off.

Did I do something wrong? Sorry if this is the wrong place for this post.

Am I an idiot?

So, just training in the fields of Route 46 below Blackthorn City on Silver version.

I was surprised to find Phanphy there so I caught it. Thinking, “Wow, I didn’t realise that was here I thought it shows up around Victory Road…” and then ran into Skarmory.

Now I’m really thinking about how I could have handled the Red Gyarados, Rockets, Pryce and been able to come here without battling Chuck, Jasmine OR Morty…if that’s true I could have had my version exclusives for most of the game. :|

If not then ok I can breathe a sigh of relief lol

Goth Girl Black 🖤 Training at the Violet City Gym 💣

Happy Black Friday!

Just training my all black team at the Violet City Gym. Love how crystal clear allows you to challenge gyms multiple times. Seems like how it would be in real life.

Does Slowpoke...suck?

Posted as few days ago on needing a 6th member on my Silver team (when fully evolved, will be Meganium, Croat, Heracross, Aipom, Slower + X) but the Slowpoke grind has been painful, it levels up slowly, has Water gun and confusion but its attack state is higher than sp attack and doesn't evolve until Lvl 37, does it suck? Is he worth it? Should I give up and get a Lapras/Gyarados/Lanturn etc? am I being impatient?

Can't find legendary dogs

Am I doing something wrong? I have returned to Pokemon Gold after not playing for a while. I have all 16 badges (not sure if that's relevant). I checked the Burned Tower, and the dogs aren't there, so I assume I released them. I have been running in a grass patch for a few hours now with a Level 25 Pokemon in the lead and Super Repels, using the door to change the dogs' locations. No dog found. Am I just really unlucky? Insight would be appreciated.

Please help me

Hey so, I've been trying to get a thunderstone for the past 8 hours from Lass Dana. I've been using the daylight savings trick, but it still isnt getting me that thunderstone. My contacts are only Mom, Professor, and her, I've battled her three times, and I also tried deleting her number and getting it again then resetting, but still nothing. I'm playing an authentic copy of Pokemon Crystal, on a gameboy advance sp 101, and I'm also doing it during the timeframe where lass dana is most likely to give you a thunderstone. (Thursdays: 8pm-?) What am I doing wrong? I just want a thunderstone so I can continue the game, I'm currently at the Ice gym. All this, for a gosh darn Jolteon.

First full odds shiny!

I'm looking for perfect DV horsea and there you go! Funny part is, I was looking at TV while the Pokémon was appearing so I didn't notice at first, I was about to run cos female Pokémon cannot have full atk DV but then I noticed the different colours.. the rest is history! After 196 hrs finally.

Save data deleted

So I was softresetting for a shiny celebi on virtual console, but I got really tired and turned my 2DS off (it was charging idk if that matters) and fell asleep. When I woke up and opened the game, it said something like "Save data is corrupted. Save data will now be initialized." I just pressed yes because I had no idea what that meant. Now my save file is just... gone. I've been on/off hunting Celebi for like a year, and now if I want to keep hunting I have to play the game all over again. But, what caused this?

No one to trade with

On a shiny hunter run on virtual console, anyone able to send eggs for the unavailable Pokémon so I can breed for them later? I need Chikorita, Totodile, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Vulpix, Mankey, Omanyte, Kabuto, Mareep, Girafarig and Remoraid

Final Team Member?

Deciding on my last poke while playing Silver, Slowbro can't learn Waterfall or Whirlpool so thinking either another water type to cover those HMs

Legendary pokemon thoughts.

After my most recent playthrough, I’ve been dwelling on the fact that we only encounter legendary pokemon once in the game. Is legendary just another work for endangered?….. because pokemon do procreate. So if there is just one, that means in the last and only? Where did it come from? Or why are they all gone. (Certain legendaries aside) especially the legendary birds. Maybe some lore as to why there is only one in the region. I personally think, the games would get a lot from simply giving either random NPC’s legendary pokemon, or at least some in gyms/elite four/ current champion. Might just be a weird rant, but I needed to ask the questions and talk about it. Hope everyone has a nice holiday week if you celebrate, and if not a great week still.
