This can be used with RBY AND GSC.

I don't really expect this thread to get any replies (and probably a minimum amount of views since nobody plays GSC anymore), but I thought I'd just throw this out here in case someone actually does care.

I recently discovered a product that can back up saved data AND do your cheating all in one device. It is called Monster Brain, and it can be found on EBay for a relatively cheap price. I got mine for $1.29 + shipping, but it seems to be slightly less common and more expensive now. I made a video on it located here, but since my camera sucks floppy donkey , I'm going to break down all the things it can do in text. All pink text is GSC exclusive.

Start Game
-> Starts the game, pretty self explanatory.

Colourizer
-> Doesn't work. Broken function.

Blast Off
-> Doesn't work. Broken function.

-----> Original trainer
-----> Technique 1
-----> Technique 2
-----> Technique 3
-----> Technique 4
-> Edit pack
-----> edit items
-----> edit balls
-----> edit key items
-----> edit TM/HM
-> Enter Poke [broken function, does not work]
-> Save changes

Memory

-> Backup (backs up saved data)
-> Restore (restores a file saved in the monster brain to the cartridge inserted)
-> Delete (deletes a backup)
-> Erase saved game (erases saved game on the cartridge (!))

Honestly I think it's a great product, and if you hate when your game randomly corrupts your data, I highly suggest getting this. It's also good to edit your Pokemon and items and makes things a lot easier.

something i defintly neeeeeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i care for my gold game!!

Sounds good, but I want to know how much internal batteries cost individually (or at least usually) in the US before I buy this thing, seems like it could be just as harmful as helpful.

But it would stop my friend from using my rechargeable SP on charge all the time if he could do it without turning the GB off.

AEPMT

Does it automatically save? I have when I'm playing Gold and I haven't saved in awhile, I accidentally knock it against something and it freezes up or restarts and I lose possibly a couple hours' worth of training.

no it doesnt attomatically save...

i got a monster brain like 9 years ago.
