Title: When you were a child...
Post by: Nameless on January 31, 2012, 06:24:26 PM
...did you very have strange ideas of thing you know nothing about.
I used to think that if you fired from a job, them actually used fire on you.
Did you guys have any?

Hey comrades! Another loose brick.... someone whack it back into place.

...did you very have strange ideas of thing you know nothing about.

I used to think that most states were pretty small since you could fit them on either side of Interstate 95.

You clearly didn't have me.

And yeah, I know that could go 2 different ways.

I used to think that disease that made my great-grandmother forget stuff was called "Old Timer's Disease".

I used to think the hazard light button in cars made them fall apart and/or explode, so I was always too scared to press it.

I used to think that:
-A good education guaranteed you a job
-People were nice in general
-The economy, as a whole, was stable
-I was pretty smart

...Oh, this topic was supposed to be funny?  I always heard that babies were "in their mommies stomachs" and I wondered why they weren't digested.

i used to think that success in life was based on hard work. Now that you can work as hard as you want but you'll never beat out the guy with connections without some connections of your own. This saddens me because it requires me to be social to make these connections.

When I was a child I believed that Pokemon games would last forever. However the watch battery in the old gameboy games only lasts about 15 years. When the battery dies you lose your save files. Pokemon Red and Blue were first released in 1998. 14 years ago. 2012 is not the year the world ends. However it is the year that I have to finally say goodbye to my beloved Charizard, whom I have had since I was 6. It is a sad year indeed.

Trade your Charizard to a newer version. It's not the same, but only a heartless man would let that precious creature die.

Charizard knows all about friendship, I've raised him since he was a wee Charmander. He's been by my side for 14 years.

but he won't recognize me as his original trainer :(

I released all of my Pokemon when it became apparent that I would no longer be able to visit them in Kanto as frequently as they deserved. I hope they've found a mate like Ash's Butterfree, or have been caught by a trainer who will love them as I do. I hope my Venusaur remembers fondly the good times, wherever he is.

Gold/Silver didn't come out till a few years later, your game's battery should still have charge so that shouldn't be why you lost the file

The average battery life for a cartridge is approximately 10 years. Of course, some will die sooner and some will die later.

Gold/Silver have actually been known to die out sooner than the older games (I've personally seen a Gold die to lack of battery), and I've heard the reason for it is the fact that Gold/Silver keep track of the time, which first generation did not.

One time as a kid, we went to the water park.  At the end of the day, I was more sunburn than my brother.  I couldn't understand why since I went down the Black Hole* three times while he only went down it once.  Obviously, he should be more sunburn than I was :p

Replace the battery in the game and it will likely work (unless you were referring to the gameboy not working), I've seen a battery replaced Gold work before.

I have replaced batteries in a Pokemon Gold before, and it did indeed work.

When I was a child, if you were talking about a pokemon and it did not number 1 to 151, you were talking about MissingNo and how to catch a Kangaskhan without having to use an ill-fated combination of rocks, food, and easily-broken safari balls.


On a side note, my wife and I both bought old Pokemon Gold cartridges (of course to prove who was the better trainer) and replaced the batteries in them.  They have since started dying in only 2.5 years.  If you notice the time starting to go wonky, it's time to prepare for a new game.

The batteries they put in them are a bit higher quality than the standard watch batteries you'd replace them with. No idea where to get them though.
