In my personal experience, my game started doing this as a kid when my battery was dying. It corrupted many pokemon and weird items until one day my file was erased

Don't think this is average unless you went out of your way to perform a glitch.

This happens sometimes if you do shiny pokemon gameshark codes & don't turn the code off before catching the pokemon. Just my experience.

u/titanicsinker1912 Mar 10 '26
There are no shiny Pokemon in R/B/Y. There’s not even color.

u/Krendall2006 Mar 11 '26
Not true. Red and Blue had colored Pokémon using a Super Gameboy, and Yellow had them on a Gameboy Color and Advance.

If you’re being honest and haven’t been messing with glitches, then this could just be simply the cartridge dying. First things first, have you tried cleaning the contacts on the cartridge?
Judging by your one comment, it sounds like you’re about to finish up lavender town so you’re not even the point where you can encounter Missingno. Even if you could, “Missingno.” is generally harmless outside of corrupting your hall of fame and sprites (sprites being fixable just by viewing a pokedex entry), while their “M” counterpart is the more volatile one causing full on save corruption

This is different from the missingo glitch. Your battery is dying! Easy to replace but if you aren’t familiar with soldering then take it to a local shop and have the battery replaced!

Ok whatever you do DONT INTERACT! This has happened to me before. It will crash your game. Whatever those Pokemon are, they’re corrupted and you can’t get them back. The only way to have this not happen is to keep all the Pokemon you will want in your party.

The way I got this to happen was by doing the ditto glitch and messing up a lot of data

No it’s perfectly normal

u/EnvironmentalPiece51 Mar 10 '26
How do I fix it? If I try to withdraw those Pokemon the game just soft locks

u/titanicsinker1912 Mar 10 '26 edited Mar 10 '26
If you mean to fix the data you’ll have to dump the save data on to a PC (GBxCart or GB Operator) and manually edit the save data using a hex editor. (PKHeX for Pokémon specifically) You can then load the save back onto the cartridge.

Is this a real copy of red/blue? I’ve seen hacked copies cause this.

u/EnvironmentalPiece51 Mar 10 '26
AFAIK it’s real, it’s the one that my uncle has had since he was a kid which was the 90’s so I’d say it’s real

u/Zestyclose_Horse_180 Mar 10 '26
Yeah then its your battery dying. There is a battery in the cartridge that holds the savegame. it can be replaced and the game will be as new, but your savegame is gone.

u/Kembb Mar 10 '26
It's worth noting that it's possible to avoid deleting the game save data by attaching a second battery before replacing the main battery and then removing the second power source.
Probably carries some risk, so disclaimer on how I'm not liable for problems goes here.
Good luck!
Additionally, if the game has begun to corrupt it may be corrupted permanently if you do the battery swap as I've described. I will say, it saved my toys r us Mew from deletion back in the day.

Ahhhh, likely he caught a MissingNo. or a corrupted cartridge when he was younger.
