Description
In honour of the G/S generation of pokemon games. A lot of great pokemon aspects were introduced in this series, such as day and night and being able to breed pokemon. For those who don't know, watch out for the internal battery. Some game batteries are already starting to run dry and when this happens you will no longer be able to save your games.EDIT: Smoothed out the edges so they are the same colour as the background.
I do not own the pokemon characters, they are characters of Nintendo and I claim no ownership over them, it's just fan art.

excellent stamp.
btw, there's ways to replace the battery, the tricky part is that replacing the battery will most likely make you lose your previous file.

My Silver Version's battery has already run dry...
Gold and Crystal have stopped keeping track of passing time while turned off

Silver was the first pokemon game I ever played. I am so attached to my pokemon! D: I had no idea about the battery thing - guess I won't be turning it on soon due to paranoia!
But I think I can try to get my dad to replace the battery for me - thank you so much for the warning! (I would have died if I couldn't save)
My favourite starter was Cyndaquil :3

Same here :) there's just something about that series which stood out from the rest. Apparently the internal battery problem also affects the GB trading card game too (which is weird because it doesn't have any timed events 
Thank you so much for the fav too!

The Trading Card game is affected, too?! ;_; I'm going to miss Imakuni so much...
You're welcome for the fav.

T_T I didn't know the battery ran out. I'd be so upset, losing everything I worked hard on. I LOVED G/S. You could go to two different regions. I wish you could do that in the other versions. How long does the Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald battery last? And does the Diamond/Pearl one last long?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know, I was devastated too when I found out about the battery :( I'm glad that the day and night made a return in Diamond/Pearl but it wasn't as good since G/S was like the 'original' founders of day and night. I'm not too sure how long the R/S/E battery lasts but when it does run out you can still save and play the game, however timed events like berries growing will not happen (not too sure about mirage island, I think that is affected too). As for Diamond and Pearl, they are 100% safe because from what I've seen they don't have an internal battery, timed events are taken from the Nintendo DS clock (thank goodness!)
Thank you for the fav too! ^_^

Hm, I almost forgot there's no nighttime in Emerald, lol. Thank goodness D/P is safe.

GSC was beautiful. The battery thing is a tragedy. *cuddles her cartrige*

I know! The sign of a good game is if you can still play it 10 years later with joy. It's a shame about the battery T_T
Thanks for the fav too!

Yeah. I have so many fond memories of GSC. Johto's like my nonexistant second home. When I heard about the battery thing I cried. 
Your welcome.

GSC was an awesome series, everyone I've talked to has all said how much they enjoyed it. I know what you mean, I spent AGES getting my pokemon to level 100 only to watch them fade away
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. For me it's not onlthe hard work, but the emotional attatchment I felt for them when I was raising them as a little kid...
I turn on my game and play for a little while without saving, to preserve them as long as I can... as for transfering, apparently Pokemon Stadium 2 is good for that...?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's hard not to get attached to them, you could raise your team how you wanted, it was like they were apart of the player.
Yea you can transfer them over to Pokemon Stadium where they won't be deleted but unfortunately they'll be stuck in the 2nd generation series. I don't think Nintendo will create a way to bring them to the 3rd + series.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, so you mean you specifically wanted to transfer them, not just preserve them...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Either/or in my opinion, I'd hate the day I turn on my Silver version just to have a look at them and the game says the battery's dead, I'd be heartbroken!

Great stamp!!
And thanks for the info. I guess that's why my Silver Version isn't saving anymore. :\
Know of anyway to fix this? Or will I have to scour the stores/internet for another one(assuming those too, aren't low on internal battery power)?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!
Yes unfortunatly when the battery runs dry you can't save your game anymore. There is a way to save your silver version if you wanted to keep on playing it, you'll need to buy the replacement battery (forgot what the serial number is, but it is on wikipedia, just search pokemon silver :) ) I recommend getting the slightly larger battery, it's compatible with the game and it'll last about 2-3 years longer. To replace the battery you'll need to open the actual cart, sounds a bit drastic but it's the only way to get to the battery. Then pop out the old one and replace it with the new one. I'm not too sure how that works though, but I'm sure someone will have posted how to do it on youtube.
As for looking for another Silver or Gold version, their battery life left would really depend on when they were made. Later games would have a longer battery life then the ones made eariler. You can still get the 2nd gen games from eBay or any good second hand game shop. I hope this helps, thank you for the fav too!

I love the Johto starters! I think they were the best in all of the pokemon series. Thanks for the fav too

Silver was the first pokemon Game I ever played. I play the DS pokemon games now but 2nd gen is still my favorite! Johto is the best!

Johto is my favourite reigon too! The DS games are good, but I think it they will never match the G/S series ^_^

pokemon gold and silver was awesome

Awesome! Silver was the first game I got a party of pokemon all to level 100. I know! I was so upset/annoyed about the battery when I heard about it. You CAN change it, but it means opening the case....

Most awesome generation of pokemon ever! G/S FTW
I've heard about that. It's a shame really
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is a shame, apparently it also happens to pokemon TCG for the GB. At least the 1st gen pokemon games are safe.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh no it's all GBA and GBC and GB games. They all run on a similar battery, so that means that even they'll be gone soon
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah well not really. The first gen games didn't use the battery to save or load games, and there is no time based events in the first gen so the battery doesn't really matter. In the GBA games they are only used for time based events like growing berries and keeping track of time. Luckily you can still save the game, and you could trade them over to diamond and pearl where they will be safe. Sorry it took a while to reply to this, for some reason your reply didn't get posted in my message

What about on Crystal? There's Beluna person's password. And the day and night things. The day people as well. Also, about diamond and pearl, what about the older generation? >.<
Oh lol that's ok XP
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Crystal will eventually run out of battery life too. The day/night events won't happen since the clock will stop and the time stays the same. I've heard that in some cases when the battery runs dry you can't continue playing the game, it just goes back to the beginning. I guess the only sure way to save your pokemon would be to transfer them to Pokemen Stadium 2 for the N64.

Very true. Shame I don't have the game or transfer pack >.<

For the N64? Naw, I have the console so I'll use it lol
