do you own old pokemon games?

I am thinking to buy pokemon on the gba sapphire/ruby and emerald, but I've been reading that the battery dies after 5 years and you have to change itso itcan save or the day/night system can work again. It's kind of expensive to buy those games new as they are rare. So do your old pokemon gba games still work?

My old gba games work fine, but my older pokemon red, blue, and gold versions all have a busted save file. I lost my shinies T_T

Pokemon GBA games have batteries in them? ._.

I have 1 copy of Red, Blue, and Silver, 3 copies of Yellow, 2 copies of Crystal, and several Gen lll games. Everything works except one of the Crystals.

My Gen 3 games work fine, but Silver Versions save file is dead, unless I play the game in one playthrough - Without turning off the power, It wont save.

I think you're confusing R/S/E with Gold Silver and Crystal. The GBC versions stopped working since the Day/Night clock battery broke down, so they were left useless, which influenced the HG/SS.

R/S/E didn't have a Day or Night.

I had pokemon blue and yellow but i lost them a while back :(. I still have my gb color though. so i'll try and see if i can buy a copy of pokemon blue on amazon.

I have Gold and it still saves on my GBC. I'm pretty sure Ruby/Sapphire and Emerald got rid of the day and night feature. I was really upset about that too. It stays daylight all the time!

I don't know about my Gold, but I think its battery went out. My Silver's did. My Crystal is getting there (my favorite Pokemon game ever T_T). And my Ruby has a battery issue as well, but it's still playable.

My old pokemon games work fine. I've never had a problem with them.

My old copy of Blue is working just fine. I bought a copy of Silver not too long ago; the batteries were dead, but I managed to change it and now it can save properly.

Still got my yellow beside me right now and it's working fine.

Still have quite all my Sapphire, Leaf Green, Diamond, Soul Silver as well, but they aren't as old (obviously).

Unfortunately the Red I had was borrowed from a friend, and I don't have 2nd gen games (played through them multiple times, but don't actually own them).

I left my games before Gen III in their boxes since their remakes came out, and if a R/S/E remake came out I will box those too.

i still have fire red and emerald.

I only had Red, Yellow & Silver.

Don't have any of them anymore.

Ruby and Crystal, both still work fine.

lolwut?? my file of pokemon blue is still there.BrunoBRS

He has a point. The internal batteries do die after a period of time, but the game otherwise still works perfectly fine and saves well. I can't vouch for original gold and silver as mine was sent away to my cousins behind my back years ago.... Q.Q but my red, yellow, and ruby all work perfectly.

I have Yellow(which I bought used), Silver, Ruby, and Fire Red and last I checked they all still have good batteries. And I played them A LOT.
