I had the same problem and I got a new game. Mine was broken. I suggest getting a new one.

I had this same problem and actually fixed it today. You have to open the cartridge and replace the battery. You can buy a special tool from nintendorepairshop.com or use some tiny pliers. The tool is only 6 bucks and I got it in 2 days, it's much easier. All you have to do is use and x-acto knife and pry the little welds from the arms on each side of the batter, replace it, then use two little pieces of electric tape to secure the arms back to the battery. Make sure you put it back in the right way. And it takes a cr2025 battery. Be carefull not to break the arms when your prying them off just take your time.

Fixing your game is POSSIBLE without removing whatnot. 6 years ago (I was 8 then), I had the same problem. My friend from school fixed it. I'll update you how. It's still possible to retain your old saved file even if you made a new one. Oh, and I just realized, my game was fake.

I fell bad for you. My silver game corrupted when I had a shiny crobat, a shiny fearow, and a shiny nidoqueen. I super mad. I recommend you check your games battery and check or buy a knew game or just restart.

There is a way to recover lost data on a game boy color Pokemon game. NOTE: You cannot have started a new game. Turn on the game boy. You should see the "your file has corrupted" message. When you are at the new games/options menu, leave your game boy on for a long time (approx 8 hours) eventually, the screen should turn white, or bright pink. Turn it off and back on. Your data should be there again. I have tested this on my crystal, red, and silver. I don't know if it works for game boy advance or ds games, but if your game file corrupts frequently, you will have to do this frequently.

SupaFunkyPimpStankChicken(SFPSC),

That's probably because your trying to recharge the battery within the cartridge from the power of the battery within the GameBoy.
Eventually, this will only work for a short time because the battery already died or is dieing.
