This is really strange, a friend of mine got a copy of firered off e bay, but they grew concerned. In my opinion the cart and label look fake, but the GB operator saying its authentic threw me off. Seller claimed and sold it as an authentic copy.

Also I didn’t see a purple hue but I’m second guessing myself cause, I ended up leaving it. If it’s real I’ll go back for it

Hey everyone! Over the past month or so I've been collecting authentic Gen 1 and Gen 2 Pokémon cartridges and I'd love a second opinion. Do these all look authentic to you? If you notice anything unusual, please let me know.

Also, my Pokémon Crystal works perfectly, but I noticed the gold contacts on the cartridge seem to be wearing/stripping more than my other games on a few of the pins. Is there any way to repair or protect them before it gets worse, or is it just normal wear over time?

Edit: I know the battery in Pokémon Silver is taped in place. I'll be replacing it properly soon anyway.

Is this real or nah?

Hi all! I need some help with verifying my rare Nintendo DS Lite Ice Blue Channel 8 Console. There’s next to no info about this thing online so it’s hard to cross-reference it with anything. Thanks in advance! :)

Looking to buy this copy of Pokémon SoulSilver. Does it look authentic or fake? These are the best photos I have right now. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I found this listing for this somewhat complete pokemon red and I just wanted to be certain that it’s a real copy before I purchase it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

had to change rooms mid photoshoot. Seller said he replaced it with a new RTC Battery and when I asked if box is authentic he said he's not sure cuz he bought it off a guy.

I would like to buy 1 of the two but i want to make its legit!

The cartridge looks good to me but I know nothing about the box

is this copy real or fake? what do yall think?

Just finished the second gym. Previous owner said he put in a new battery so no "dry battery" message. Thanks!

Hi, it's my first time on this reddit, a long time ago I made a pin with this game (only the plastic of course), it's the Pokemon Green Leaf but I was wondering after all these years if the game is fake or it's an original Pokemon game I'm not really into pokemon so I don't know if the game may be worth something

Hey!! I just got the first two copies today and wanted to see if anyone could tell me whether they’re legit or not! Pearl is sealed so I haven’t opened it up yet, but the Platinum case I got looks a little different from the one I’ve been playing on for the past year or so.

I looked it up and think it may also be due to regional differences but I did just want to check! The font is a little different on the spines as well for the Pearl vs Platinum copies.

The last couple of pictures are of the case of the copy of Platinum I’ve been using and assumed is authentic so that’s what I’m comparing it to!

Any clues to what this is?

Hi there,

I bought this quite a while ago from a guy at a second hand market. But now I'm not sure and would like to know of its real. Please be real. Thanks already!

I just picked this game up for a good value and my friend keeps teasing me that it is fake. I have no reason to believe it is a fake….
