Yeah, it really sucks. I didn't know the gen 1 games had internal batteries, I thought that was from gen 2 onwards. It really is awful how the "video game collectors" ruined retro gaming by treating old games like an "asset" to accrue wealth instead of ever actually wanting to play them.
Yeah all Pokemon games pre-DS had a save battery that dries up in 15 years or so. Your Yellow save is probably long gone, but replacing the battery is pretty cheap and simple and there are lots of guides.
But yeah, screw investor bros.
Who cares about "retro gaming" when emulation is a better experience in every way?
If there is something I don't care about bourgeois fucksticks inflating the price of, it is legacy media with a fully functional digital replica.
If you do really want physical, are there not flash carts for GB/GBC/GBA?
