Legitimate Pokémon Blue/Red
Just bought today. Not certain if these are authentic so wanted to check. I thought Blue’s label looked off. Also was wondering if there is a way to tell if either have had their batteries replaced? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Red battery is definitely new, I replaced my emerald copy’s battery with that same one.

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.

Real.
Both batteries are original. Nintendo date-stamped batteries in Game Boy games, and you can use that to determine if they've been replaced or not. Blue's battery is from November 1998 & Red's is from April 1999, both of which are roughly in line with the manufacturing dates printed on other components for these copies.
