[edit] Battery
CZMQFRG 09:47, 16 July 2006 (UTC)Like a lot of people worldwide my Pokémon Gold Version's internal clock battery ran flat deleting the save file. I think this is a fault that should have been corrected or taken into account years ago. CZMQFRG
It's not a fault. Unless you've invented a never-ending battery.... 202.7.202.2 06:12, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
I think it is definitely a fault and I think it's unacceptable for it not to be rechargeable. Surely the technology was around back then. WikiSlasher 08:36, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- random passrby: 9:14 sunday august 20: What kind of battery do the ruby, saphire, and emerald games run on? is it done on the same battery that holds the game save? (i think they're two different batteries in gold and silver, as my copy's clock has stopped, and only runs when the game is on, yet my game data is still fine)
- if so, it could have potentially been done the same for gold and silver, or more usefully, the cartrige could be modded with a rechargeable battery holding the clock. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.149.133.42 (talk • contribs) .
Interestingly enough, although I purchased my Gold Version at launch, the memory was not erased. Silver, however, is another story.

Sadly, my two silver batteries ran out so now they will not save, though i can still play on them at least.-EEVEE103
It's a fault that couldn't have been foreseen. Very few games (if any) in the GBC generation use an internal clock; the fact that it can keep real time when the game is off demonstrates that the clock runs off the battery. In any case, most people's batteries took at least five years to die, and Nintendo couldn't have tested the game for five years before release without knowing of the existence of the problem. Pokemon Crystal also uses a newer battery with a longer life, which is why almost nobody has a dead Crystal. If you trade all your pogeys to another game or Stadium 2, you can then change the battery with a new one from Radio Shack, which undoubtedly has an even longer battery life than the equivalent batteries from half a decade ago.
As for recharging the batteries, someone at SPPf seems to have discovered a method. http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?t=149013 67.54.145.54 19:36, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- Sounds pretty 1337 --WikiSlasher 15:00, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Im glad im not the only one that had my games internal battery die... I feel much better now, thankyou, user 67.54.145.54.-EEVEE103
[edit] Cancelled category
Please see Category:Cancelled computer and video games. The description there says the catgories like this are for games cancelled before release. That's why I reverted it. --WikiSlasher 13:12, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What happened to the Wikibook?
Wikibooks claims it has nothing on the subject of Pokemon Gold and Silver (or Red and Blue, etc.), so what happened to 'Wikibooks has more info on the subject of Pokemon Gold and Silver? 169.229.121.94 00:56, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
They used to, but I believe it was deleted because of some decision that Wikibooks no longer carries video game storylines, or something to that effect. EllipsesBent 01:56, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm on a wiki called StrategyWiki and some of the Wikibooks articles have been moved here, I'm the main contributor to the guide for Silver, Gold and Crystal, do any of you think that we should link to it from this page or will I need to do more work on it?
Here are a few links from wikibooks:
