IGN Don Pokemon , Gender , Level , Ball Magnemite , Genderless , Lv . 6 , Repeat Ball GTS Message I want to fill my Pokedex . Thank you ! <| sep |> Online resources do exist but in honesty it is hard to know if you are doing things properly without someone there . If you want , you are welcome to send me clips and i can help fine tune things . But I do have to say I come from a classical background so I ' m not very good with pop singing but always an option for you <| sep |> The reason that the block appears instead of the logo is sort of like a way to prevent unlicensed games . The actual data for the Nintendo icon is stored on the cartridge , and there ' s a duplicate stored in the Gameboy ' s bios . If the one stored in the cartridge matches the bios , then it displays on the screen the game boots . If the icon can ' t be read properly off the cartridge , then it appears all glitchy , and therefore doesn ' t match the one stored in the bios , and fails to boot . What really confuses me about this situation is that the screen isn ' t broken , and the glitch only happens with a game inserted , yet still hoots just fine . You could always try cleaning the cartridge slot to see if that fixes it , or maybe taking apart the Gameboy and unplugging the ribbon cable , wiping it off , then plugging it in again . But since the issue happens ingame as well , and not just on the Nintendo screen , it seems to be reading the data just fine . It might actually be the slot , haha . Good luck getting this fixed ! I ' m curious to see what the problem is . It ' s most likely fixable since it ' s not an issue with the screen or anything like that .
