Hi Jeaston151,
To delete a Pokemon Black save file, press the following buttons at the start screen: up, select and B.
Your son will now be able to start his own file!
Have fun, and go catch 'em all!

Cheers, Garbanian

Sorry, there isn't a way to bring back a corrupted Gameboy game save. The reason the save has corrupted is because the small battery in the game had died. Replacing the battery might fix your game, but it won't bring back your save.

to delete the old save data, press start, select, up and B on the title screen
Hope this helps

Well its because the battery inside of the gamepack is dead now. The battery inside of the gamepack allows you to save the game data is dead now so buy a new one then.

I had this problem before. What you need to do is take the cartridge and unscrew it and change the battery. Here is a guide to replace it: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-replace-the-battery-in-a-pokemon-goldsilve/ If you aren't good with soldering, I would recommend just buy a new Pokemon Gold game.

No, the only way to stop this problem is to change the battery because it is dying or dead; this is causing the memory erases.

The Silver/Gold/Crystal generation Pokemon Games all had cartridges that contained a built-in battery that runs theinternal clock, so that your game knows whether its day or night,Monday or Wednesday, etc. Anyway, I assume your battery has run out,and until replaced, the game will not save successfully.

This site give instructions on how to replace the battery: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-replace-the-battery-in-a-pokemon-goldsilve/

Or you could just buy the game again, I would guess they are about $10 these days.
Great game by the way.

Hope that helps.

Most of the save game issues have to do with the onboard battery dieing. If this happens, your save game will persist for a few hours and then vanish.
