>tfw want to check my old GBA cartridges to give them away to a friend since I'm not using them but it's been like 6 years since the last time and the battery might be dead
>tfw leaf green has most of the pokedex complete and emerald a shitload of IV bred pokemons
W-what do I do?
>>25632409
Release them all. Set them fee, OP.
>>25632409
I replaced my Emerald's battery since I bought it used a couple years ago. Pic related, it's my actual cartridge.
It's not hard but you need to get the same battery it had before. Just take it to a watch shop or some shit, they'll help you.
Also
>Giving old cartridges to a friend
I can guarantee you'll regret it.
GBA games don't erase your file when the battery dies like GBC games do
>>25632409
GBA cartridges' save data doesn't get deleted if the battery dies if that's what you're afraid of
It only prevents time-based events from happening
>>25632433
dubs demands it OP
you must release them all
pokemon are our friends, not tools for battling
>>25632443
It happened to my Sapphire cartridge, though.
>>25632442
Thanks, bruh.
Also, I'm pretty much immune to nostalgia for some reason and want to try a Nuzlocke run of them.
>>25632433
>>25632469
This is not how it works. They'll literally die if I release them.
>>25632514
No they wouldn't, but let's be honest, even death would be a welcome reprieve compared to the prison you've kept them in all this time.
>>25632409
Transfer them over to D/P/Pt...
>>25632541
You would know, N, considering your adoptive father fucked up your life so badly that you can't fix it at this point.
>>25632873
Ouch.
>>25632409
>IV bred shit in gen 3
damn dude I just did natures/egg moves back then, how old are you?
>>25632873
>I'm N.
Nigga, I'm fishing for dubs in a shitty thread.
>>25632409
Son those games go for $25+ each on ebay
>tfw sold gen 3 as a set for $200 a few years back
>>25632890
26.
I was eating fucking Serebii guides back in highschool because I'm garbage at Google.

Make a backup of your saves and then use them with emulators/GBA 3DS injection
