hello guys i need some help,i wanna know if there is something i can do to avoid losing the save data of my pokemon games.

-is there a way to pass the save data to the computer and keep there(note that there is a infra red on gbc)????

i know it`s possible to replace the battery and i know how to do it but,the save data will be erased.

So,if you know something please help

Sorry, there is currently no way to preserve save data while replacing a dead battery. The best you can do is trade all of your pokémon (each of them holding items you'd like to keep) to another game before replacing the battery, then start a new game on the cartridge with the new battery and trade all of those pokémon and held items back. Just beware of obedience! Maybe you should trade Eggs that will hatch into the right species...

Hi R|krdo, You are right about the memory card. I have a device called the "Mega Memory Card" that allows you to back up Game Boy save files. It does not work with the GBA, but any original Game Boy or Game Boy Color games that have a save system can be backed up on this device.

Once you back up your game, you can replace the battery, start a new game, or do anything you want. You can load the backed up save file back into the Game Boy cartridge any time you want. This is real useful if you want to start a new game without loosing your old game save.

You can find this device at Amazon at this address:

One Warning: Do not use this device when your Game Boy has a low battery. Since it uses more power than usual when it backs up or loads a saved game, it would be more likely to shut off the Game Boy if the batteries are low enough. If it gets turned off while it is transferring data, there is a chance that it will wipe all the information out of the Mega Memory Card, so you will loose all your backed up saves. This happenned to me once, so now I always make sure I have a good battery level before backing anything up.
