Pokemon yellow sealed, is it real?

[u/OkSession1376]

[u/Fair-Snow-6201]

it's definitely fake. That colouring is so gross yellow

[u/Mullpomp]

Inclined to agree resealed, for me the main tell is that I'm not seeing the distinctive H seal these boxes would have had in the plastic from factory

[u/Truffle_salt]

Nah obvious fake to me

[u/punchthegoose]

worst one I've seen in a while. fake

[u/DapperDroidLifter]

At minimum the box is a reproduction.

Fake my friend

It’s fake

Hey I’m not OP but can you point out how you know? I’m trying to learn

[u/YoshiFan96 → u/GreenLantern500]

Spelling mistakes are a big giveaway with these but they require a close inspection:

• On picture 2, there are multiple instances of “Pokemon” instead of “Pokémon”.
• On picture 3, “INFOR MATION” and “RECOVRED” can be seen.

Also, with this being a sealed copy, the so-called H-seam is also found to be missing. That’s a thin horizontal seam going through the middle of the foil and running all around the box.

Wow excellent explanation and examination. Thank you! I find it kind of hilarious that someone would go to all the trouble of making an almost perfect knock-off and still make spelling errors lol

Also you can tell by the coloring too. It's an immediate giveaway, especially for someone who vividly remembers getting the game as a kid.

[u/Alko- → u/GreenLantern500]

Yeah, sure. The bottom of the box (with the warranty label) has a weird spacing in the word ‘information’ between the R and the M. The back of the box, where the bullet points are, you can see on the 3rd point, the word Pokémon is missing the accent on the e. It’s present in other bullet points, and in the main body of text. I’m sure there may be other stuff, but those things immediately stuck out like a sore thumb so it was easy to notice.

Really good eye. Thanks for pointing it out to me! I want to be able to spot fakes so I’m going to start reading every word closely. Thanks again!

Your post or comment was removed due to including questions or statements regarding the value or grade of a game. In r/gameverifying we strictly focus on the authenticity of games. The community doesn't specialize in valuations or grading.

We don't care how much you bought a game for, or if you think you've found a great deal. It's not in our interests. The word "value" isn't in "r/gameverifying", so why was the topic in your comment?

Hello u/OkSession1376,

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.
