It doesn't look like any of the contacts are missing but seems like the playing on a couple contacts has started to wear off. So long as the actual pad itself is not lifted or eaten away it is possible to replate the contacts, using an electro plating process. I've even seen people put a very thin coat of solder over a contact to keep it from corroding, though that isn't something I would recommend. It might be cheaper and less time consuming to just purchase a new copy than replating your current copy if you do not already have the tools and materials. You could even order replacement PCBs and swap over all the components. I found a listing on PCBWay.com specifically for pokemon GBA games listed as ***AGB-E02-20 | Game Boy Advance | Replacement PCB***
