I've used the Missingno. Glitch tons of times, and I have 255 hours on my Blue (too bad the time stops there), and I've never had the file lost. I also have a Jolteon and Sandslash at level 100. Heh. I've also saved the exact same Blue cart on Stadium during Doduo mode, and nothing happend. I can even use it w/o Stadium saying there's a problem w/ the transfer pack. Heh. So, I doubt the game deletes itself over time. I've also dropped it while playing it and it reset itself. Scary. But it's still all there..
There's a thread about me turning on my Gb with my Blue cart in it, and the menu didn't say "Continue" just "New Name" or whatever. I quickly turned the bitch off. Somehow or another, when I turned my GB on, low and behold, it said Continue. I'm so lucky  ------------------ "I really dug Michaelangelo, what with the nunchucks and all.

Incase anyone cares, I have pkmn yellow & I played it and made it to/past the Elite Four and one day I turned it on and my save data was gone. I had done no sharking to the game whatsoever, the data was just gone. So, I bought a mega memory card and started my yellow over. A mega memory card can be good as a little insurance policy incase you ever fear the loss of your game data (save game) But, do NOT count on it for 100%. Like, be hesitant to do massive restores, hacks, upload others games to it, always try to keep ONE file forever, even if it's from a while back. Anyway, take care, and remember, don't expect a MegaMemoryCard to be there to be the only holder of your save game, try to keep it on the catridge yourself & use the MegaMemoryCard in event of emergencies (but if u think u know what ur doing, have fun with it hehe)------------------

Somewhat, yes. The glitch employed in the Safari Zone trick has the potential to get you a Missingno...however, only the Missingno itself can mess up the game. I once used the trick, surfing along Seafoam coast for over a half hour looking for a Tauros, and saw no Missingno. The only mishap with my game after that actually had to do with the Tauros I caught...the game froze up while checking its stats. But then, that's happened before with other copies of the game...perhaps it was the SGB I was using...after all, after the freeze, I reset, and it didn't want to work until I took it out of the SNES. But anyway, my copy of Red I was using is still perfectly fine...working off the same file since the game first came out, I might add. Of course, now it's just one of a stack of games I have now...2 Reds, one Yellow, one Blue, one Silver.... ------------------ ----------------------- /('.')\ Beware the Kirbys...

Can't say I've ever had problems - and I've done all of that and likely more. Sharking, Missingno, stadium, turning off the game when I shouldn't have, mystery gift, etc. My blue cart is nearing 255 hours and I haven't had any trouble with it, and I'm up to something like 100 with my gold cart and no problems.Crap, having said that, Murphy's Law will come into effect soon. Better get a megamemory card. ------------------ "And all this coming from a guy who dropped physics... twice." - Yavarice Hah!
