@Arctic452910 In general this would be more a "Pokemon" related question and not a retropie one (trading Pokemons). For emulator specific questions I suggest you to provide all the info requested here and to take a look into the DOCs for those, as the availability to "Link" the emulated system(s) may be limited or not available at all.

Maybe is possible. I have recover saves that i delete accidentally, i use the free open source program Testdisk. I install it on Raspberry Pi Os with the command

sudo apt install testdisk

Please add some info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@mitu sorry to necrobump, but as far as I know, pokemmo is written in java so it might be possible. Got it working on the lxde desktop, not sure about how to run it without the xserver though. also it is available in the repos

If this fails then it's the game, or change the emulator, I had this issue with gba Metroid fusion.

cheats = 1 cheat0_desc = "faster leveling" cheat0_code = "12345678+0000" cheat0_enable = "true"

I tried to reproduce the issue, but I don't seem to be able to. Using the same emulator (lr-mgba), with or without the BIOS, the save file is loaded correctly.
Can you check if you have enough space available on your USB ? The save file (in-game saves) is stored next to the ROM, it's named <ROMNAME>.srm, if you don't see one, then the emulator cannot save the file.

How are you mounting the USB stick to the system ? Did you follow the docs or did you do it manually ?

@Vaico said in Saving Game On Pokemon Crystal (GBC):

I played the game again, the game started brand new all over again.

If you press Start, you should have the option to Continue a previous save.

Is there anyway to save game on the emulator while playing Pokemon Crystal?

Yes, use the game's menu (Start button) to save your progress.

@mitu so most likely it was trying to save one and something errored and then it just wasn't able to save over the bad file?

Thanks all for your help. I found a good image for the Pi0 and dont have any problems now :)

@mattrixk Going over the history of this I would say the best first Pokemon game I ever played was Crystal, I played and beat yellow before Crystal but Crystal had the held items in addition to 2 newer types

also bug type Pokemon while they existed in the previous gen, they weren't as weak in gen 2 and they had better attacks like Fury Cutter and Megahorn so the gen 2 games were far more balanced, and they didn't have as many exploits if any either.

UPDATE-
I have Pokemon Black ordered off of Ebay and on the way here. Thanks for the suggestions.

@thelostsoul

I don't know the full extent of the problem, but it seems like you could create a script that would first launch RetroArch and then after a wait, send a network command to load the game. You could then create a launch command in /opt/retropie/configs/emulators.cfg that would launch the script and apply it to the ROM. Granted, this is a very involved solution and there might be a better way. Out of curiosity, why are you opposed to simply launching the games with a core that will run them?

I just found this post and would love to know how to add custom art for the pokemon mini. And your artwork is great! Would you please let me know how to do it?
