A number of months ago, I read that a remake was being made of the best Pokemon games of all time; Gold and Silver. I got incredibly excited about this, like the Pokemon fanboy that I am, and so I spent a number of days looking through all the rumours, all the cool little features that were going to be included in the game. And last week, I was so excited about it, that I pulled out my Gameboy, and my Pokemon Silver.
I cracked into it, and was enjoying every minute of it, and after a while, things started to get repetitive, and I set it down, thinking I'd play it later. I did play it later, but as the main menu came up, the only buttons I saw were New Game, and Options.
"What? Where'd my save go?" I said to myself. And after some navigation throughout the web, I realised that many people had come across this problem, and it was all due to the internal battery of the game.

So, I'm asking any of you experienced Escapists, have you had the same problem? And if so, how did you go about solving it?

I had that problem with Legend Of Zelda: Link's Awakening on Gameboy.
Damn, that was a good game... now I can't play it anymore :(
and the batteries for the gameboy cartridges... I can't find any of that exact type...

Sure you can play it again. In one long stroke.

I suppose, but with Pokemon, it's one of those games you'll play for an hour or two, then set down. I'd be playing for about a day before I actually finished it, and then I would be sooo bored of it.

Only Silver stopped working by refusing to save.(Gold, Crystal, Red and Blue still work)

I 'fixed' it by downloading a rom and playing the game on an emulator.

No. new game dumps me in the side of the huge castle in the middle of the island.
with a shield and no sword, so I can't even cut down bushes to run.
it's totally corrupted the game.
Even visual data is corrupted. it has gone to silicon hell.

That ONLY happened to me for Silver and Gold versions. Every other GBC game I have still has it's data, including Pokemon Yellow.

I use an emulator its (from what I hear) legal as a "backup file" if you own the game/console already and they work fine but most internal batteries are dead you can manualy replace them but that needs soddering, work, etc.

which could explain why they're remaking them

Me thinks Nintendo's covering their ass
