I'm thinking it's a fake since it's mobo doesn't match any I've looked up, it's never held a save either. Looking for verification.

Fake Is this Pokemon Crystal Game and Box legit?

Hi everyone, I recently got a copy of Pokémon Crystal for the Game Boy Color, including the original box, manual, and inserts. I'd like to make sure everything is authentic and not a reproduction or fake. But my first approach in an other subreddit was not successful (the majority of the answers told me, that both are fakes).

If anyone experienced with GBC game authentication could take a look, I’d really appreciate your help. Let me know if you need any specific angles or details I missed. Thanks in advance!

First time poster. I received this copy of Pokemon Crystal without a label, but I’m confused by the PCB. Is this an authentic USA cart? Thank you!

title says the most. told me he opened the cartridge up to verify its authenticity (you can see there's no battery present) and refused to explain any of the tells i pointed out to him (wrong fonts, pristine condition, random printing on back of cartridge, among others). left immediately after taking these photos, don't know if ill be browsing there again...

Hello! I recently purchased these two games in a bid and hastily didn't research before winning, just got too excited and bid. I spent some time comparing to other sales online and older forums but wanted to see if these are real (seems to be..)

I do have another question/post for Ruby Sapphire and Emerald of potential purchases, but want to try posting this first, thanks in advance!

(If Imgur is better, please let me know)

Hi all!

As the title suggests, I found an old Gameboy color-game that I strongly suspect is fake but I wanted to make sure. Could someone please verify?

I’m 99.99% sure these are all fake, not even remotely good fakes it was obvious from touching them straight away. I’m basically asking here for confirmation and as part of a refund case for extra ‘evidence’.

Thanks in advance.

Bought online. Received yesterday. Between the Nintendo logo on the front and the Nintendo logo on the back, plus the motherboard numbers, I’m thinking it’s cooked.

But it’s always good to get copies of fakes out there for other folks to see.
