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

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 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.

Please can I get some help checking if this is genuine. I believe it is, so I would appreciate some expert input. Obviously it’s sealed so I can’t check the cartridge but I think given the fact it isn’t a Pokemon game I think the likelihood of it being replaced is low. I will attach as many photos as I can.
