    My orginal pokemon blue save file and the 151 (152 if you count missing no) from my childhood. They are all just chilling and hoping that maybe one day I’ll come back and play with them like the good old days when we were masters.

      Get a ROM dumper and get that save off the cartridge now before it’s too late, if it isn’t already. I collect and restore old games and most gen 1 Pokémon carts have a dead battery by now.

      I’m amazed that my original Pokémon Red lasted as long as it did - but the in game battery will eventually die. If you really want to save it I highly recommend using a cart dumper, something like the gbxcart, to save your file elsewhere.

      I had lost my original Red had died but my first big team is saved onto Pokémon Stadium which gives me a good chuckle anyone I put that in.
