Pokemon Blue save file destroyed

[celestialVulpine]

Hello, I've been playing through Pokemon Blue (on a real cart) and my game has given me the "The save file is destroyed!" message upon turning it on. I believe I might have turned off my Gameboy a bit too soon when it was still writing data to the cartridge, but I am unsure (I turned it off as soon as it said the data had been saved)

I used my GB Operator to extract the save, and looked through it on the current version of PKHex, and here is what I found:

My Weepinbells name got changed from "Nepentha" to "Ne⚦entha", and the game version says "GN", im not sure what the game version means, but shouldnt it be set to RBY? some of my Pokemon have RBY, while others, like Nepentha, have been changed to "GN".

I should also note that when I started this save file, I used PKHex to change my starter from a Squirtle to a Vulpix, purely for fun, and it hadnt been an issue. I doubt that was the cause of this glitch since I had been playing for 9 hours before anything happened, but it is worth noting.

 

I had reverted the nickname back to "Nepentha" like it should be, and wrote it back to the cartridge, and it worked fine... at first. the Continue option showed up like normal and I played for a bit. But after saving, quitting, and returning to the game later, I was met with the same "The save file has been destroyed!" message. I extracted the save again to find that even more data had been corrupted (like my Abra suddenly having Horn Drill, and more nicknames being altered beyond my Weepinbell).

I am very stumped about whats going on/whats causing this, every time I try to fix it, it seems to just make things worse. Does anyone have any ideas? 

I will attach the first backup I made of my save file (which is where the first screenshot is from) which has the least damage done to it rather than my latest one (where the last two screenshots come from)

Thank you to everyone for taking the time to read this post, I appreciate it so much! If anyone has anymore questions about this, please just ask and I'll respond ASAP!

Is this save even able to be salvaged, or should I just give up and start a new save file?
