I desoldered the backlight wires and replaced the resistor. I then re-soldered onto some alternative ground/+5v points and voila!
This is after searching through a pile of 500 1/4watt resistors to find a 68 ohm one...

My face afterwards:

my guess is that the backlight is drawing too much power for pokemon to boot.

just an idea though, i don't have any hard evidence to back up this.

could very well be the case, some of the pokemon carts have some extra hardware on them

Will play others?]]> Sorry guys, not a cartridge problem! The games all work in other gameboys. I've tried a total of 5 different pokemon carts. I'll swap the gameboy batteries for new ones but i'm not sure what else to do.

Could it be a resistance issue with the screen? I know the backlight (Snow v4 Envy) came with a resistor but i lost it and couldn't find out what ohmage it was so i just ignored it.. Haha!

Yh, as people have already said, clean the cart, test in other gameboys and see if it's a problem with it, or just the gameboy.

I actually do see what you did there. Or I'm crazier than ever before.

Anyhow, yeah. Sound like your Pokémon games are just dirty as diapers. It's a weird coincidence that it spans more than one game of dem pokemans. *shrug*
