If your Red and Silver have never had their battery changed, the battery is probably already dead, or will be soon.It definitely is one of a kind. I'm also curious to know more about this "broke" copy. It looks like an original one for me, looking by the circuit board it has. I didn't try using TM/HM yet, since I didn't go ahead more than the first gymnasium, but I'll try it. (Using the only-move "struggle" against rock/ground types is a pain, and I'm already thinking how could I beat ghost Pokémon only with Struggle??). What really got me is that I didn't find anything similar in the internet. No one with the same problem until today.
Your dump suggestion... I'll definitely try it. Unfortunately I only have a 3DS and a DSi XL with me, but a friend of mine has a DS Lite, I'll try get it next week to dump my copy.
Yeah, a cart dumper will be really interesting in order to save my Pokémon Red and Silver saves.
Thanks for your time and info!!
You're welcome
