    I'm at wit's end. I don't know what's wrong. I've been playing Pokemon Diamond on my DS Lite. I finished the Pokemon League and was working on finishing my Pokedex so I could get the National Dex. I took a break from Diamond and got a copy of Sapphire. Had about 30 hours of time into the Sapphire (I was playing it on an SP). I went back to Diamond and got the National Dex and into Pal Park. So then I shut the DS down, inserted Sapphire into it, and turned the DS on. Started up Diamond. No option to Migrate on the screen here. Just the usual options. So then restarted the DS and loaded Sapphire. It said the save file had been deleted! I shut it back down and loaded Sapphire back into my SP...just to see the same thing again! The horror! For testing, I played a new game of Sapphire long enough to collect 6 pokemon and then tried loading up Diamond again. ERASURE!

    What's the deal? Any ideas? The only thing I can find about the DS erasing things is something about Dungeon Blue, but nothing about Sapphire/Diamond.

    I'm a little upset now looking at the heavily empty National Dex in Diamond knowing that, at the moment, I'm kind of stuck here in filling it out! And I was so looking forward to getting my cool little Sableye into the Wii.

    Goody. That'll teach me to buy stuff on eBay. :( I was sort of afraid that might be the problem. *Sigh*

    The cartridge is a clearish-blue color and has the Nintendo logo stamped on the back.

    Any way to tell if it is a non-legit cartridge?

    To get pal park go to sandgem and talk to the prof. As for the game deleting itself, Mine did the same but only on my sapphire though my emerald works well as does my ruby but it corrupted my sapphire and deleted it as well I cant even get it to start up any longer
