The save type for the compatible GBA Pokémon games are Flash 128K if automatic save detection does not work.

After visiting Mt. Battle for the first time, entering a trainer battle will cause a crash just before the opposing trainer's Pokémon are loaded.

When playing the Arena mode in the PAL version, a crash can occur when attempting to register the Pokémon from Story mode to play later in the Colosseum mode.
