Is my pokemon emerald a fake???
 
pls help me guys... i dont know if my game is an authentic one... the cartridge is green and the sticker looks like an ordinary sticker (stickers just like those of other games...)... thats all the facts i got, ty in advance....

Katnip June 17th, 2008 5:40 AM

Could you upload a picture?
This isn't the first time I've seen something like this; I knew a boy who had a regular-colored cartridge (Gray) and an Emerald version sticker that was different from the ones on the official games. I don't think his was entirely legit.

Skaterzpenguin June 17th, 2008 9:00 AM

Just like Katnip said, upload a picture and we can help ya. Also if you played the game already was there anything different...?

El Gofre June 17th, 2008 9:30 AM

Is the green translucent or opaque?

Jabunks June 17th, 2008 10:20 PM

I belive its a rom uploaded to a blank cartridge, try playing it through and find ANYTHING you think could be changed.

well the cartridge is green see through something.... its not opaque coz you can see the inside CLEARLY... and also, i bought it at ebay and said that the supplier is somewhere in Hongkong....

I'd say fake they usually don't sparkle like that. (I think)

Man of Faith June 18th, 2008 4:30 AM

I think they do, but I haven't seen Emerald in a while... :/

But the cartridge itself looks odd. That's more of a teal-ish color from what I see... :/

It could be my computer, though... The real one should be just dark green...

Harry Blue5 June 18th, 2008 7:39 AM

There is the official Nintendo thing on the cartridge, but it's different to my one. Then again, my friends PMD: RRT cartridge Is different to mine, but the package is wrong... way wrong. And they could've of faked the official Nintendo sign.

I'm really not sure.

The cartridge sticker should be holofoil, and the box doesn't look right. Hong Kong? Probably fake, only one way to find out, Pokemon Diamond or Pearl. That's how I found out mine was real.

Skaterzpenguin June 18th, 2008 8:45 AM

Ok, The picture of the GBA game is a little odd, but just the sticker otherwise everything else is fine. Also the box is nothing different and not fake. I still have my gba emerald box. Maybe they make there games a little different in Hong Kong, and maybe they ran out of those stickers and added on green ones instead. who knows, but this looks real, but if you fine something interesting and different in the game then it might be fake or hack or w/e. :]

Red1530 June 18th, 2008 9:28 AM

The box looks a little odd. Otherwise it looks fine to me.

MightyMightyena June 18th, 2008 9:34 AM

I think its a legit one, the box and cart look exactly like the ones I have...which im pretty sure are legit cus I bought them from Best Buy

Ryuzaki_Lawliet June 18th, 2008 9:35 AM

Hong Kong could make them differently.. the box is off.. Sometimes if you go to a game exchange they'll let you see the real thing; then tell you if it's fake or not because it's one of the things they're trained for.

Dialga450 June 18th, 2008 9:36 AM

Dude upload a picture and i can figure it out.

Jabunks June 18th, 2008 11:43 PM

That looks legit, I'd compare it to Googled images of the case
Infact, I'll judge it myself...(Googles)

Naw, but its probobly a different version, Im sure its legit, I mean, if it wasn't who would notice? Nothing should be affected, so I'd just forget about it...

spike6958 June 19th, 2008 12:05 PM

look's legit to me, if it wasn't chances are the cartrige would be black not green.

Naw, the box is all sparkly like that, I still have it on my dresser somewhere (^-X;)

You'll probly have to play it through and look for weird changes or something. It looks legit to me, just from the box. That's what mine looked like when I bought it at BestBuy. Legitimately.
