Pokemon Gold and silver Remakes

So the internal battery is now dead, and since this battery was also what allowed the game to save, the games won't save anymore.

Aha!

My Gold cart died a while ago (before 2006 I think, maybe mine was just crappy), and I thought it was a one-off thing, until I was talking with a couple of my friends the other day who said their Gold carts stopped saving, too. Weirdly enough their Silver ones work fine.

Anyway, I would totally be for a G/S/C remake. :3

Your right my mistake. They are only in emerald and XD.

And Colleseum. I think Nintendo will make these games becuase the fact that the old copies no longer work combined with a generation of children who think it is an entirely "new" game is a major selling point. Nintendo wouldn't miss an opurtunity like this would they?

Which, you know, perfectly explains why people will play hours of the game in a vain effort to reclaim their standing in the game only to discover that their file didn't save.
