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

Since I got it for free, it's not a huge deal if it's fake but I was just curious.

Fake Pokemon Firered, is it real or fake?

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.

Needs Verification are these platinum/pearl copies authentic?

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

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!

Legitimate Gen 1 & 2 Authenticity Check

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.
