Maybe an internal battery?
Possibly. I'm pretty sure that's one of the first symptoms of the internal battery drying up.
Did you nudge the cartridge? It's extremely likely that you could have accidentally shifted the cartridge a little if you are using a GBA SP, my pokemon Gold cartridge is glitchy like that, even the slightest nudge of the cartridge will cause the game to lock up.
Another thing to consider, sometimes if I press the arrow keys too quickly the game will also crash. For an experiment I pressed every key on the d-pad quickly anticlockwise towards the center of the keys and the game crashed.
Odd thing is, I've nudged my games before, even my Yellow yet nothing ever happened.
GBA cartridges in the DS Lite are also susceptible to crashing due to being nudged. I've learned to save frequently in my Japanese Emerald because of this issue, as it has crashed numerous times.
As for GBA and GBC carts, They tend to f**k up if you crush them, bend them, drop them, submerge them in water, or otherwise do s**t.

My Lilo and Stitch GBA cart went through the washing machine years ago and was fine.

Also, my Emerald went through the wash three months after I got it on launch day. I threw it out, thinking it was ruined. :(

The same thing happened to my Kirby game, and it was fine. It appears that GBA cartridges are both waterproof and heatproof <insert Pokemon type gag here>.

I guess I was just young (10) and stupid.
