#REDIRECT [[Error traps for damaged save data#In Generation I]]
{{Error traps}}
''For the corruption of game files in general, see [[file corruption]]''.
The phrase "'''The file data is destroyed!'''" is an error handler in Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, and Pokémon Yellow. This message usually appears when the player chooses the CONTINUE option but the save file is unreadable as a method of informing the player and preventing the game from [[game freeze|freezing]]. However, 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.
Similar messages exist within the newer generations of Pokémon games such as the "[[The save file is corrupted!]]" message on Pokémon Gold, Pokémon Silver and Pokémon Crystal. From [[bp:Generation III|Generation III]] and onwards however, these messages also mention about backup save data, and the game will load that data instead.
