Anyone Have Any Pokemon gameboy / GBA Games For Sale?


Battle games, not trading cards or pinball x

Not me but best of luck!

I have Gold, but the problem with it is that it doesn't seem to save. :c

I know that some of the Gameboy paks have internal memory which can become a bit faulty, but certain techie people can fix it! I wouldn't have the time or knowledge to do it myself though. I do have Gameboy Pinball but you're after battle games.. so I'm afraid not.

Most of the Gameboy original Pokemon games won't save/restart now. They all used internal batteries (until GBA and afterwards) which have almost completely died out. There's a few methods to resolve this- replacing the battery, or a fix that I've never heard actually work involving a GBA SP.

That said, some gma eplaces like Game Crazy and Game Trader still have them sometimes.

They have a little watch type battery inside, when that dies they often don't save.

Some people repair them, I wouldn't know where to start :-/

Thanks guys anyway x

My Gold broke, too!  I have the exact same problem.  I really wonder if the rest of my games work now.

If you're tech savvy you can replace the battery?

^ Had I the willpower I probably would do. But considering I'd rather sell it on than keep the thing.. there's not too much point I guess

I have almost all the Pokemon Gameboy games except Sliver and Green(Japan).   
The saves on my Gold and Red are broken but I heard it can be fixed ..
I go to a market sometimes on weekends which often has quite a few vintage games / systems if you look for them. I did have a extra Pokemon Gold and Lime Green Gameboy Color .. but my friend asked for them before I saw your post.     Sorry.
But the next time I go, I'll see about trying to find more GB Pokemon games, as well as a range of gameboys in rainbow colors. lol (I want all the colors.  )

That's really odd.  I have all of the original games through a few of the latest DS games.  My gameboy games still save.  I have never heard of that problem.  Is that the case with the old gray gameboy games too?  I have bunch of those and they save too.  Interesting, something I never knew...I would definitely try to fix them before throwing them away!  I like them too much.

I had red (of questionable origin- it looks like a bootleg), but I gave it to my cousin Sorry.

[Englishgothgirl]

Thanks guys for looking, I'm sure I'll get hold of some somewhere

I often see them turning up on a local auction site for 3-5 pounds (I also got some of mine from there), however now as I checked I didn't see any for sale (only German versions, but since you're English I suppose you're looking for English ones ). if you want me to, I may keep an eye on them and send you a PM if I come across one.

[Englishgothgirl]

Yes that woul be awesome

Check Gamestop/EB games--they will have a few used on occaision---though everyone seems to want to hold onto thier pokemon games.
