      PokeTips I know why you couldn’t evolve Weepinbell. You couldn’t get a leaf stone until you went to bills house in kanto. Most people just traded their Gen 1 stone Pokémon to RBY and evolved them there and traded back

      It's pretty easy to replace a save battery. I could point you to some credible information if you wanted, as it preserves the game for a long time if you do it. Especially if the battery is 20+ years old, things will die.

    I still have the original blue cartridge with my brothers save. He passed when I was 2 and I found the gameboy and learned it was his. He was a squirtle guy. He never finished the game. I set out to complete the Pokédex for him. Last year I finished it for him.

      I'm guessing he could transfer the Pokémon from Crystal to Gold or Silver version, then boot it up onto a Super Game Boy (Because only Gold & Silver are backwards compatible with the original Game Boy), and use a Professor SF/Game Doctor to save backup data on a floppy disk.

I was about 10 or 11 I played that game boy for hours, we didn't have back or front lit screens so at night I would have to use a flash light ha ha ! it was so fun though especially when gold, silver and crystal came out. we got to see all our favorite pokemon in color and they actually moved when thrown into battle on crystal version.. the pokemon red and blue games weren't colored so it was all blue or all red.. I remember on summer days riding my bike through the neighborhood with my gameboy and link cable to meet other kids and battle and trade pokemon.. it was so different back then but I wouldn't change anything lol

    The battery is used for your save file. Even with a dead battery, the game will play but you wont be able to save. Its common after so long that the batteries go dead. So a common thing, is to remove the old battery, and replace it with a new one. I did that for my Pokemon Silver version.

    Hey dude, you can change the batteries of your games, you have a margin of more or less 1 minute before the memory gets cleaned in the absense of the battery, which is enough to keep the saved file changing the battery super fast. (anyway check for that time cuz it's something I remember we did with my dad, changing the battery, but I'm not that sure)

    You can take the cartridges in to certain shops and they will swap the batteries out for you!! It won't recover the save unfortunately, but it'll make the game playable again.
