I definitely recommend playing Fire Red and/or Leaf Green for a gen 1 remake. They have a lot of QoL improvements and are essentially the same game, without all the bugs etc.
Do you have any lights on the dash indicating it has any power at all? It’s strange to suddenly lose all power, usually the bike will run poorly for a bit, or the lights/dash will dim, or the bike will still attempt to spin the starter with a battery issue.
If you have no power at all, I’d be checking the battery itself and the leads from it first. It’s very strange for the battery to just die outright, so it’s likely a lost terminal lead or something similar.
I would love to hear more about why they do[n’t] make you want more cats!
As I understand it - Basically it’s assumed he is kept barely alive to keep the astronomicon (the beacon for warp travel) working. Some people think he is a perpetual (someone who can revive after death) but if he leaves the throne the warp in Terra won’t be kept in check anymore and will be lost. Most likely they’d lose the ability to travel the warp as well.
