Nope never, i learnt that i should save my game every 15minutes or so, cause my friend's battery died when he was versing some crazy gym leader in Pokemon he nearly one but then his battery died. And i usually play my gameboy when its charging anyway so ive never run out of battery in a important moment.

Is the cat in the box alive or dead?

If you open the box, you will know the answer.

You will know the truth.

However, until you open the box, you can claim that the cat is alive, and you can also claim it is dead.

I always forget to check the light, and of course it goes off when I'm in the middle of something and I havn't saved in a while :D

it happened once when i first got pokemon red. I was so excited when i reached victory road that i didn't save the whole way thru, even before challenging the elite four. I didn't think I needed to save beforehand, I knew my pokemon were trained way too much. I got to gary, and right as the battle started the power died. I learned never to let that happen again. Now I'm sort of a save freak.

Yes...mostly on the road trips when I would play pokemon all day. Would end up having the battery die right in the middle of a gym battle. Had to ask to pull over to buy more batteries.

Man I hate it when that happens. It was a great time to realize I didn't save for the whole 2 hours of playing.

Never. Ever. Since I play on the computer only atm, since I don't know where my handheld games went when my little brother moved out.. Saving is always important, like every 10 minutes or so is a good recommendation :facepalm:

Yep I was play awesome,amazing,cool fossil fighters one day and my lcd screen,touch screen went blank it was horrible. Once I was playing pokemon platinum and i was about to catch amazing darkrai and my screen went blank. Once something similer happend and I was playing scribble nauts, on this one level it wouldn't let me pass because the screen keeped on stoping/pauseing, it was so annoying. Even that my nintendo keeps on turning off and stoping/pausing it is still in awesome mint condition.

Not really- whenever the battery got low I would get paranoid about it cutting out after not saving for hours so I saved about every ten minutes or after an event. That way I wouldn't have to go over much again after charging it.

Most of the time I would have a charger nearby. I don't go on road trips much, but just recently the batteries of someone else's DS ran out just as she finished a boss. LOL.But GBA wise I always made sure to save often. If it was one of those games where you can't save until the level is over I would just save at one spot and not play.So, I guess there is very little chance my GBA would die on me suddenly. I take great caution in that kind of business. I hate replaying difficult levels.

I was playing the first Golden Sun and was fighting Saturos for the first time with very under leveled and under geared characters with a red light on my gba, and I somehow managed to beat him. Sadly though my power died right afer the 5 minute conversation after the fight and I was a very sad panda :foldarms:
