AFAIK, Batteries in pokemon cartridges were only for the in-game clock, not the actual save files! So he is not safe!

Edit: i stand corrected! Ive never had or worked with pokemon carts specifically, but i have worked with & modded a lot of GB, GBA and N64 carts and not all of them have batteries, in fact most dont. I know n64 mempaks do, tho, but almost none of the carts. Info i had gathered from the various retro communities led me to believe that GB/GBA pokemon carts were a type that didnt need a battery for the save file, only the clock, but apparently that isnt always the case!

Definitely not true for gen 2, and I imagine gen 1 was the same. I had to change those batteries with a melted pen.

The old gen from gameboy/color need battery for the save file too.

[-] cybervseas@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

I think that depends on which Pokemon game

[-] Somewhereunknown7351@kbin.social 5 points 7 months ago

That’s why i didn’t name them!

[-] Diasl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 7 months ago

I hated giving them nicknames, hated the Ingame trades where you got stupid nicknamed pokemon as well.

Lmao that last one would have seemed innocent over a decade ago, too.
