This happens because the internal battery inside the game cartridge died. The gold/silver/crystal games all have this problem. They had to have batteries inside them to keep track of the time while the game wasn't in use. Unfortunately, batteries die. And when the battery in the game dies, the save that was on it is deleted and it will no longer save any game. The good news is that your game isn't worthless. If you search with terms such as "pokemon gold battery replacement," you can find instructions on how to replace the battery. The usual tools needed are a new battery (the sites all say what type of battery you need, some type of watch battery), tweasers or pliers (or a specialty screwdriver to get that pesky screw offthe cartridge), and some electric tape. It's a delicate process, and it is possible to damage the game if a mistake is made.

How do you save in Pokemon Gold?

What you do is that You click the start button, and press the up or down arrow until you get to save. You click save and it will say are you sure you want to save and you click yes, it will save. HOWEVER, if you are playing the original gold version then it runs on a save battery. The save battery may need to be replaced if saving does not work. -XS
