Original Pokémon Emerald cartridges utilize a CR1616 battery to power the Real-Time Clock (RTC). Most original cartridges have depleted batteries by 2023. While the game is playable with a dead battery, time-based events (such as growing berries or encountering specific Pokémon) will not function. A downloaded save file cannot fix a dead physical battery.
