lol as if

My silver died a long time ago.
Blue is still running strong.

This is 4chan. You're retarded if you think that the neckbeards here don't still play those games every day.

>internal batteries of those cartridges gave out years ago.
internal batteries

Cartridges have batteries in them? The last time I played a game with one was like 8 years ago.

>>9530328

That's why I said "many." And I'd imagine most of those neckbeards would have switched to the DS remakes, so it might still apply.

>>9530339
Yup, there's a battery. It can be replaced, but I think the Pokemon will die if there isn't a constant current at all times.

>>9530339

Crystal's latest release date was 2001. 9 years ago.

My Silver died out some years ago. Blue and Yellow (which I bought in 99) are still working since I last checked a couple of weeks ago. I really do miss my complete Pokedex on Silver.

I don't think Gen 1 has batteries, or they last way longer as my red, blue, and yellow all work.

I tried my yellow the other night. Save was gone and the pictures are messed up.

>my face when my silver still works and I have 400 hours on it

I never had Pokemon as a child.

My first Pokemon game, Diamond, is still kickin'.

SCYTHER MY FRIEND, I NAMED YOU CAPTAIN, AND YOU TRULY WERE. I WISHED FOR NOTHING MORE THAN TO GO ON REAL LIFE ADVENTURES WITH YOU

I could do a transplant and attach a new lithium cell. I could keep these babbys running for the next 20 years.

Some days ago, while I searched the room where I used to live when I was a child, I stumbled across my old Pokemon editions. So I gave it a try - silver was the only one which didn't work anymore, nevertheless the Pokemon on blue and red still existed, with all the fucking weird nicknames I gave them back then.

>internal batteries
wtfamireading.xml

My red's battery came loose when I dropped my GBC as a kid, so it never saved. D:
Blue and Yellow still work for me.
I replaced the batteries for G/S/C two years ago so I could play them, so my saves still work.

(I assume you can do this)

If you upload your save to a computer, change the battery and export it to the cart - are they REALLY the pokemon you raised? Or are they clones and something else?

>>9530400
You missed your entire childhood. You know what awesome was? Using surfer by pushing A instead of manually selecting it trough the menu screen!
It felt like the biggest improvement in videogame history!

no, i think about that all the time OP, im not too bothered, but i am kinda pissed that i lost my 13 year old pikachu

>>9530403
;___;
Godspeed you, sweet Scyther.

>>9530400
I didn't have them as a kid either, but I always seemed to have friends who were young enough to be interested in it. I just liked the character designs for the pokemon. I've never played any of the games. I still find it funny when someone gets pissed on 4chan when I call a pokemon by the wrong name.

But I think my favorite of all the Pokemon-related things I've watched happen on 4chan was the progression of, "So I heard you like muddy dicks," to "So I herd u liek mudkips." That was classy.

;_;

Had to try them, all four of my games runs like a charm.

mine still save perfectly faggot. shit my nes games still work fine.

Blue, Red, Yellow, Gold, Crystal and all are still going strong :D
My batteries never died. I am sofuckingproud.
But I will have to probably check this winter holidays (Ausfag, unifag)

>>9530279

save batteries can be replaced pretty easy.

I started a new game 3 months ago anyways.

When my save was destroyed and I lost my Porygon 2, I rrrrraaaagggeeedddd

Genraly, its only Gold and Silver cartridges who's batteries died.
I think its estimated that 50% of them no longer function.
Red, Blue and Crystal should all still work perfectly fine...
My yellow version works perfectly, i still start new games on it every now and then.

I was too old for pokemans when pokemans came out. I was 10.

Nope

My cartidge still wrorks

my silver still works, I know cause i was playing it today

No. All my video games were stolen when I was 14.

I lost my silver cartridge :(

> And you didn't even think of that until now.

I did, actually. C:

My yellow still works so fuck you.

Too late.

My cartridge containing my Dream Team died many years ago. I still remember them, too...

Mewtwo, Dragonite, Vaporeon, Nidoking, Raichu, Charizard. Trained them all to level 100 in my crappy old blue version. I traded them into each new game I got as I got them. But, the crystal version was their final resting place.

-Never Forget-

The pokemon live on in my heart and mind. They cannot die.

All I miss are my Blastoise and Mewtwo from my Blue version. They kicked ass in Pokemon Stadium.

They'll live on forever in my heart, though.

I lost my legit mew when my red cartridge gave out. Got it from a convention in SF back in middleschool and now he is gone :(

My batteries are still alive, nigger. Just tried them a few days ago.
Also, I play on emulators now.

The only Pokemon I really cared about was my Charizard. His name was Flame. In everyone Pokemon game I play, I choose the fire starter and name them Flame in his honour. He's gone now, but his legend lives on.

Although my Gengar was pretty fucking badass too.

>Get out old Blue version cartridge
>It still works
>Check Silver, get ready for super fun time
>Internal battery dead
>wtfamibuying.jpg

I never had any of them...so yeah no.

GSC died out faster because of the internal battery keeping track of the clock. It also depends how much playtime the game had. I played the fuck out of Silver and it died ages ago. I rarely touched Gold and it still works. I recently played through Red and Blue just fine last year.

Also: Emulation

For all of you faggots who are shocked that these games used batteries, get off of the Internet because you're way too goddamned young to be using it. Did you think the save files were magic or something?

Jesus fucking Christ you people are retarded.

>>9535720

Go stick a battery up your ass, It's not that obvious, not everybody knows exactly how the electronics they use work.

Lolno. I turned my Pokemon red on a few weeks ago. The save file with all 151 was still there. I deleted it and started anew, as my friend and I are each building a team of level 40s to face off in Pokemon Stadium

>>9535757

Well it's not like that all of the instruction manuals and player's guides and magazine ads and commercials were calling it battery back-up just to sound cute.

>>9535823
I never read any of that. I figured that if a game could last "forever" why shouldn't other data be able to as well?

I've no idea where my Blue is. My Yellow has a worn away picture and doesn't work. Gold and Crystal went missing yonks ago.

I sure do take care of my games.

If you have a cartridge game with a clear case like Oracle of Ages/Seasons you can actually see the battery.

i didn't even know that they had internal batteries

i hope my games don't ever die :(

how long are they estimated to last?

Wow you must be a real idiot if you didnt know about this long time ago.

I mena when i play with my emulator it always tells me that the internal battery has run dry, so id assume the cartridges had something to do with that.

Fortunately my firered and crystal work hella good cause my cousin is playing with it now.

Ripping teh save files FTW.
Fuck you OP
I still have all my pokemanz.. even if I haven't played with them in Years.
FUCK YOU.

Sorry, /b/ro, my old GB games work perfectly fine.

man, fuck you.

my crystal died, but my red still works.

>>9535985
Your chin & clothed torso is delicious. (:

cool bladerunner reference

>>9530279
fuck you man my favorite pokemon was Gengar- level 100- and he was a ghost.

i DONT THINK HE BE DEAD DOG

I had the 251 Pokemons on Gold without using the Gameshark. My little brother fucking deleted the save file. ):

troll troll is troll

I have 3 crystals 2 yellows a red and a blue
all of which work

They all still work just fine.

>>9536077
I'm actually fairly attractive and in shape. Crazy that there could exist such a person on 4chan, I know.

you can get all of them in rom form anyway

>>9536175
>I'm actually fairly attractive
kekekekeke

If you got attached to this pixelated bullshit you have fucking issues along with the other 13+ pathetic manchildren who play this tame forgettable shit. Remove the goggles.

Haha, only my original Red battery has given out. My Yellow/Gold/Crystal still work fine.

Also, Nuzlocke Challenge motherfucker.

I did not own any Pokemon games because I knew they were shit.
