Release them all. Set them fee, OP.

I replaced my Emerald's battery since I bought it used a couple years ago. Pic related, it's my actual cartridge.
It's not hard but you need to get the same battery it had before. Just take it to a watch shop or some shit, they'll help you.

>Giving old cartridges to a friend
I can guarantee you'll regret it.

GBA games don't erase your file when the battery dies like GBC games do

>>25632409
GBA cartridges' save data doesn't get deleted if the battery dies if that's what you're afraid of
It only prevents time-based events from happening

dubs demands it OP
you must release them all

It happened to my Sapphire cartridge, though.
>>25632442
Thanks, bruh.
Also, I'm pretty much immune to nostalgia for some reason and want to try a Nuzlocke run of them.

This is not how it works. They'll literally die if I release them.

No they wouldn't, but let's be honest, even death would be a welcome reprieve compared to the prison you've kept them in all this time.

>>25632409
Transfer them over to D/P/Pt...

You would know, N, considering your adoptive father fucked up your life so badly that you can't fix it at this point.

I was eating fucking Serebii guides back in highschool because I'm garbage at Google.

Make a backup of your saves and then use them with emulators/GBA 3DS injection
