13 years in the making

Stopped playing in middle school, last spring I had a mid-20s crisis & decided to come back to pokemon. Best decision ever.

Damn skippy

I just noticed that you can see part of my name scrawled on the Red and Yellow labels in my kiddie handwriting.

Those cartridges are going to start losing their battery soon. All those saves gone :(

I know! It pains me so much.

Additionally, you can replace the battery.

You can actually buy a special cartridge that you plug the original cartridges into - It serves as a Save Manager.

Whoa! I didn't know that existed! I'm going to look into picking one up. Thanks!

No problem.

There's ways to save em. I've done a couple of battery replacements with old cartridges where the save was completely intact.

I'm sure it can be done, just wanted to warn the OP. Are they off the shelf batteries or are they Gameboy specific?

13 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

No you can buy them from stores or online. For the gameboys they're 3v coin type batteries size 2032. Often used for calculators and watches
