My emerald game RESET itself(as in deleted the save) right after I beat the E4. I bought it used off of amazon and I left the person who sold it(who said it "works great") a very bad review. 1 star( because they had no slot for 0) now I have to start over and I have a hunch that at one point this game was damaged. At least I never found a shiny, though I have(had) my SID. If I had found a shiny, It would have(and now will) go to Sapphire.
On a happier note, I saw somthing really funny on TV. Somebody at the BCS National chapionship ran onto the field. Won't go into further details.
