ChipMusic.org / Forums / Nintendo Handhelds / [SOLVED] Backlit DMG won't play pokemon games... Will play others?
I just installed my v4 Envy and now the DMG won't play pokemon games. It plays other games (Super Mario Land, LSDJ, Dr. Mario, Game Gallery) but none of the pokemon games.
Any idea?
What is different about the pokemon games in the first place that could cause an issue?

clean the contacts on the game 
rubbing alcohol on a qtip should do the trick
oxide on the pins I think, Idk listen to Alley Beach I'm a jackass
Does the Pokemon game play in other Gameboys? It sounds more like a problem with your game than with the Gameboy.
use fresh batteries and see if that helps
new batteries seem to clear up so many problems.
good
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*
good

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.
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!
Clearly your backlit Game Boys just have better taste than the others.
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.
