I just recently read a article about saving your original pokemon game file. The saves you have on your gameboy are about to come to a end. Basically inside every game is a battery which last for 15 years. So if you play pokemon blue or red or any very old pokemen. A new tutorial by Nintendo handyman Adr990 however shows that there is a simple way to replace cartridge batteries without losing your saves.
“As a game cart with a dead battery still does save your game as long as it is in your console playing, it means that the SRAM is powered. The SRAM keeps your data, and has to be powered all the time to keep the data,” the youtuber explains. “So, as the console powers the SRAM, you can just get the battery, and replace it while it’s on! Just make sure the battery is in there securely before you power off the console. Then take the game out for a few seconds, and plug it back in the console.”

Read this off the tech game.
I take no credit just wanted to Inform community members who played the old pokemon games, who still want there save.

Not too long ago I read about someone who makes a 'huge' amount of cash per month replacing batteries. Turns out he only makes ~$60/month.

Anyways, someone else on that thread said the battery only had to do with the internal game clock and day/night events.

I read this article off thetechgame but most likely it probably does have to do with the game.
 
Wow.... this sucks. All the childhood's that will be lost. Thanks for informing me so I don't cry when it happens :(
 
Thanks, I've got at least 7 lying around the house
 
I read this some time ago. But I've never had any Pokemon that was made before Ruby, only Crystal/Gold/Silver in emulators.
I actually sold Pokemon Emerald to my cousin.
