Hey guys. I want to buy pokemon emerald, but i'm worried about fakes.
Does this one look legit? I have a feeling its a fake.

also, is there any difference between the real and the fake? I mean, I just want the game for gameplay.

Just buy it off amazon if you're worried, amazon actually pretends to care about the customer, unlike ebay which gives zero fucks

fake games are just roms on carts. no difference. id still buy a real one though because pirated cartridges usually die/break pretty fast.
edit: why dont you just download the rom and play on pc?

how can someone justify this is fake. it looks just like the normal pokemon emerald cart.

I think that the odd sticker orientation, the case seeming a bit more transparent than normal, and the booklette seeming to have no pages (but it may just be the angle). It's ten dollars I would rather not spend, because anyone selling this game nowadays will be asking for at least $20 typically.

the real emerald carts were a darker, closer to crystal clear color. and the label is foil, and way more shiny.... that cart is soooo fake

a LOT of GBA games that come from Hong Kong seem to be bootlegged on eBay

Shouldn't bootlegs be worth more than the actual game?

I was expecting this to be a thread about a gba flash cart. Boy was I wrong lol.
