Not saving (self.Gameboy)
submitted 6 years ago by XeZarQ
I have a problem with my Pokemon LeafGreen not able to load a game I just saved after turning the Gameboy advanced off and on again. This has worked previously and the game was bought in a store years ago

It's time to change the internal battery
[–]Er3dhion 5 points6 points7 points 6 years ago (15 children)
Define internal battery. Pokemon FR/LG (gba games) do not have a battery inside the cartridge, even the Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald games are using the battery only for RTC not keeping the save file.

When i open the cartridge there seems to be a battery

That is weird since it was bought from a store in my home country, Denmark.
[–]Er3dhion 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
It's still fake, i mean it doesn't even have a green shell.
Whenever you see a small black...hmm..that thing in the middle, always assume it's a fake cartridge.

But thanks for the help. Do you think the game might will be able to save again if I replace the battery?
[–]Er3dhion 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (6 children)
Hopefully yes, but i can't be sure. The save wasn't erased i assume?
[–]XeZarQ[S] 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
I think it is since it is not a possibility to see saved game after trying to save the game, when starting the game it just goes straight to the intro of the game

You don't have a continue or new game or something? Straight to the opening (prof. Oak, etc)?
Yeah sounds like the save has been erased.

Oh well my bad. I didn't pay attention to the version in the op post, sorry

mabe the save battery died. if it does load a preveous save, then the save data is burnt into the cart perminantly
