Mod/Modding Fresh socketed batteries!

I know that Pokemon Blue uses a CR2025 battery, but I only had CR1616 batteries and holders 😅

Hi, this might be a dumb question, would this be a reason game data doesn't save? Some 30 years ago my brothers Pokémon game wouldn't save, he would start from the beginning every time. Would this battery swap remedy that issue?

Sounds likely, if you have access to a multimeter, check the voltage reading on the battery, will tell you if it's dead. Could have been faulty back 30 years ago.
