I have this problem with my Pokémon Silver: in my case the saved file doesn't dissapear, but goes corrupted and i need to crete a new game. It is still a save battery problem? P.D: I play the game in N64 using Pokémon Stadium 2's GB Tower. I would be really happy if you answer me.

Also, if you have a very big save file and want to do a preventive battery change, its totally possible to hook up a temporary power source in parallel to the battery (+ on + and - on -) in order to keep your saved files during the process. I used a adjustable power source and soldered probes on the existing leads. Its tricky, i managed to do it only one time out of 3, but it works ;)

@SuperKoopa97 It probably is, if the power gets low enough, it'll be in this twilight zone where it can keep only parts of the memory chip running at a time, which is likely to corrupt files as only parts of the data gets lost, but not all, like in this case. Try changing the battery. If it don't work, then its probably the memory chip itself, which cannot really be changed.
