Damaged save data error messages: Difference between revisions

#''The save file is corrupted!'' - This message only appears within Pokémon Gold, Pokémon Silver and Pokémon Crystal. It usually appears when the player chooses the CONTINUE option but the save file is invalid, as a method of informing the player and preventing the game from [[game freeze|freezing]]. Like the similar message "The file data is destroyed" from [[bp:Generation I|Generation I]], not all invalid save files are affected by this message especially if the player has no existing [[save file]] at all, so that the player does not recieve this message when attempting to start a new game for the first time.

#''The window save area was exceeded.'' - This message has been found within the data of Pokémon Gold, Pokémon Silver and Pokémon Crystal, however its exact purpose is unknown. Theoretically this message may appear when the game attempts to save the player's game with an excessive amount of options on his or her 'start menu'. However, this is uncomfirmed.
