Is My Emerald Fake?
A few years ago, I bought a Pokemon Emerald from Amazon for £14.99.
When I turn it on, it goes through the normal credits ect (The gameplay is normal too) Then when it gets to the 'Title screen' (Showing you your game/Options) It says; The Game File Has Loaded The Game Can Be Played (Or something like that) Also it often corrupts. When you turn it on sometimes it says; The Game File Has Been Lost Due To Corruption Or Damage. The Game Can Be Played. (Or I think it might be 'The Game File Has Been Erased') Its really strange, and it often restarts once you've beaten the Elite 4 (If not before that) (I'll post a pic after I get more posts) Like I say, the gameplay is fine... The sticker on the Cartridge isn't shiny. But it came in a shiny box ect. (No Manual) On the Cartridge it says; AGB-BPEE-USA and on the back it says (Its 'printed in') Nintendo; MODEL NO. AGB-033. PAT PEND. MADE IN JAPAN. Thanks! |

I don't think it is fake but rather the cartridge is corrupted or the chippy thing that you can see when you look at the bottom of it is scratched somehow >.> That's all I can think of |
I used to have a fake Emerald that restarted after E4, can you post a Picture?
|
I had one exactly like that although you could only save once then load then if you saved again it lost the data:(.
Mine fitted your description of the cartridge and mine turned out to be fake so yours might be too... |
Thanks, heres a pic;

That looks like my fake, So it might be a Fake.

Then it's probably fake. Where did you buy it?. If ever you'd buy one in Ebay or Amazon. Be sure to get some screenshots or video. So you'll not be scammed or something. That's a waste of money though. =/. You should really be careful in buying these things. Especially nowadays. People needs bling-bling or money. It's because money is hard to gain these days. That's why there are many scammers and pirating games or movies and many many more. Also try to watch in youtube. Some of the videos can spot out if your cartridge or game is fake., And it's so sad that you've got a fake one.

OK, so it is definitely fake? Damn :/
|
I'm 99.9% positive its fake because it doesn't have the shiny sticker =/
Next time, when ordering online, always ask for pictures -- if they won't provide them, it's typically a bad sign. I do a lot of video game selling on eBay, and I'm always glad to take more pictures when requested; it's sad how many bootleg sellers get away with it... |
Yup, my friend Scott had one EXACTLY like that, and the second the in-game clock reached 100hrs it wiped/corrupted the file
|
Looks pretty fake to me.
The sticker dosn't shine and all the text seems bigger on your cartridge, although I'm not sure if thats just because the picture is very close. Next time you should just get your game from the used section of any gamestore. Thats where I went to get a few games and I have never had a problem. |

I suppose that's the price you play for insuring that your game will work~ |
