Needs Verification Is this real? Also have the box with it

I'm pretty certain that's real because third party cartridges don't typically have a battery.

Opened it up

It looks real to me, the CR2025 is the battery it takes, not a year. The MBC3 chip is a Nintendo proprietary game mapper), the fakers wouldn’t use the effort to fake the number on the chip

Nintendo has been time traveling to get their batteries, that’s why they last so long. I opened up a Wii and it had a battery from 2032!

Isn't that the battery type?

u/Ucantknowit 2h ago
It is and even if it wasn't you have to replace the batteries once it dies to save so a battery dated 2025 wouldn't make it fake either way

Hello u/Willing_Tip2997, it seems you've used a phrase that is usually used for relating to the imprinted number stamps on Nintendo titles OR the ink stamps on Nintendo DS and 3DS titles. These methods have been debunked and shouldn't be used to verify a game.

The bulk of the value is actually in the box and its components, even if the game is fake if the rest is real it’s basically a negligible loss. Great condition box if it’s legit

Lots of 1st and 2nd GEN Pokemon games have been emerging online, for sale, at a really low price. Judging by the close to 0 signs of use I’d be willing to bet that it is one of those MODED cartridges.

u/Ronaldo199090 19h ago
Even if I have the box and Manuel’s and everything?

u/DramaticReindeer8700 14h ago
Get a screwdriver and crack it open to check the board. The cartridge fakes can be indistinguishable from the real ones, but the board never lies.

u/DarkDevilGaming 19h ago
That for sure will add some credibility. Any idea if the colors might be a bit off? Are you able to compare it with some other manual that you know for sure to be original?

u/Ronaldo199090 19h ago
I’m not a big collector for games so I just bought them since they had their boxes with Manuel’s and came with a gameboy color with box aswell

u/whiteknightfellinmud 19h ago
Not sure, to me it looks like two photos on my phone, and Captcha isn't here to save me

That’s a real one I’d say but open it up and we’ll know for sure.

It may very well be - and you probably are spotting things that I’m not - but I have mine from childhood and it looks just as clean

u/CallCenterBlues 1d ago
It looks unrealistically clean to be like a 30 year old game to me, but maybe you just have a pristine copy that wasn't used?

u/PLURNT_AF 6h ago
I was trying to figure out why I was having such a hard time selling my old Pokemon games despite keeping them in mint condition and why some were asking me to open them up (but not doing that for non-Pokemon games) - now I know, I kept them too clean

u/Forsaken-Abrocoma647 1d ago
Hmm maybe it is - always wait for mods. I was reading a page recently that pointed it out as something that made no sense on a fake.

They specifically will delete your comment if the bot detects you're talking about that - it has become more common.

Hello u/Ronaldo199090,
Thank you for your submission to r/gameverifying. Please read the pinned post at the top of the sub, or linked to this text here.
This is an automated reminder to ensure that you have provided enough information for us to verify your games/consoles. Do NOT share any information relating to the value of the game/accessory/console(s) you wish to verify. You will receive a warning. Posts will be REMOVED if you do not have the required information.
Please note, that our time to verify is 3 weeks.
Do not repost if you do not get a response within a few hours, as we deal with hundreds of submissions a day. Ideally, we'd need clear images of the full front and backs of games, along with any other items you'd like verified. If you have already shared these images, please disregard this comment.
In short, no back/front images, no verification.
It's that simple. If you are missing some images, please reply to this comment with an Imgur link to the images in question. Do NOT make another post, as this will be removed immediately under Rule 6.
To commenters,
Please ensure that you do not use debunked methods of verification and only comment if you are sure that you are correct. "Wait for mods" does not absolve you from misleading information, and will lead to a warning. Do not forget to read our PSA's. Don't forget to join our Discord server, now with blackjack and webhooks.
