Re: I've known that for about a month...
 
I already knew that. It started appearing about a Month ago...
Look for Duplicate Topics, someone already thought it was real & me & many others told em its a fake. I liked hte Box Art though, it looked kinda neat but I knew it was fake because Nintendo hasn't translated it yet or is still in the process of doing so. I emailed the person. They live in Hong Kong & he replied yes that it was a fake version so he could get some money. Its almost like the Pokémon Diamond & Jade fakes. I kinda liked those fakes when I played them as a rom, I only have diamond. I would say the game should be called Electric Monsters World because they kept talking about that.

Of course duh !
Ebay sells a whole lot of fake stuff

The Slowbro March 29th, 2004 7:01 AM

I think you mean ALL of it is fake not just some. Unless they have the box and it's in Japenese, well you won't be playing it anytime soon. And you'd lose 30 bucks.

There's 3 different Leaf green boxes.... O___o

Simone April 1st, 2004 12:59 PM

People just draw those box's lol.. but i give them credit for it, it looks pretty real.

They are on ebay so watch what you buy off there (just some advice). :)

You can clearly see that the Fire Red one is fake, Nintendo would never put 'The Pokemon Company' on their game boxes, and Nintendo isnt only known as 'The company who makes Pokemon' there are alot of other oldschool RPGs and other games they made such as Mother 1 and 2 (Earthbound Zero and Earthbound)

Wes The Snager April 1st, 2004 5:01 PM

actualy dude all the pkmn games say the pokemon company

Shadow April 1st, 2004 6:08 PM

FR1-It would be impossible to take a picture of a GBA box at that angle without seeing creases/shadows.

LG1-I seriously doubt that Leaf Green would be in all lowercase letters...

LG2-It does not have the Nintendo seal on the front...

LG3-The front pic looks very similar to the Fire Red one...

LG4-The GBA strip is discolored and there is a weird rainbow of colored dots near the bottom-left, both could be from being saved as JPG though....

And on all of them, the ERSB rating seems to be in an odd position on the box. They seem to be too high on the boxes to me....

Anyways, I seriously doubt they have the final box art when the game hasn't even been widely announced in America yet (well, parts of America that doesn' track Japanese releases...)

Neko_ April 2nd, 2004 10:49 PM

As far as I can tell. The lower green one has more of a realistic look than all the others. even if it is fake.

Ad the company would never put gotta catch em all on the front of thier box.

Amoblaz April 2nd, 2004 11:42 PM

I already Told something like that in februari... I wonder what you will get when you buy those games

Simone April 3rd, 2004 1:15 AM

Yeah, they will probably send you the box with rocks, or if your lucky maybe an old game or a pokemon game.. But whatever it is, its fake :(

September is the dubbed release date for FR/LG.

SykicSyko April 6th, 2004 8:16 PM

you gotta love ebay, i do!! i had a friend who lost $200 buying an xbox :D i have bought and sold tons o stuff on there, its my shopping source, never will i attempt this tho.

Chariquaza April 13th, 2004 11:48 AM

Hello can anyone say fake? I bought A Japanese Fire Red and guess what? The boxes for Fr/Lg are going to be in a rectangular shape not in a square shape uhh..Nintendo is going to be furious.

Actually all Japanese GBA game boxes are rectangluar while the North America versions are square. It is like that for every game...
Now FR/LG may be rectangular in the US if they still are including the Wireless Adapter but then again the actual game box may be square witha notehr box attached with the Wireless Adapter in it...

ashly138 April 13th, 2004 12:02 PM

this are fkka the game will come out in aug or sep this year.

Pokedragonfire April 13th, 2004 12:16 PM

More Pics!
 
Oohh I found some more pics but ALL of the games I saw looked exactly the same like this: http://i3.ebayimg.com/03/i/01/a8/c7/e6_1.JPG
I also saw one opened: http://i7.ebayimg.com/03/i/01/a8/2f/3a_1_b.JPG
I actually believe SOME of them are real... If they were fake why would there be so many... I think that they get them from an indirect source, like maybe someone who works for nintedo sold some of the prototype english games...I'd watch out for the one's without nintendo's seal and that other one with the lowercase... I think its blurry on purpose to try to fool you into buying it. I believe it is a prototype though, might have some bugs like in Ruby/Sapphire with the berry glitch.

Chariquaza April 13th, 2004 12:19 PM

thats fake. The cartrige for FireRed is more in an orangeish redish color.

Pokedragonfire April 13th, 2004 12:22 PM

Pokemon Fire Red Fakes
 
Maybe that ones fake but I'm not saying they all are...How do you know it is orangish red, maybe the English is supposted to be black, I don't think so, every single pokemon game every made was colored.

Chariquaza April 13th, 2004 12:25 PM

I know it is Orangish red because I have the Japanese game.

Pokedragonfire April 13th, 2004 12:28 PM

Unique Colors
 
Yeah, I think that one is a fake because every single game made was a unique color. The boxes look shiny, don't they.

MissingNo., Pokemon #000 April 13th, 2004 4:29 PM

I want it. I collect fake stuff.

EDIT: To add on to the prototype theory, maybe thay haven't gotten around to coloring all of the cartriges yet...?

Pokedragonfire April 14th, 2004 11:57 AM

Naw, I think its fake. You can't "color" them they would already be colored if the japenese version was.

on my Pokemon game boxes it says Gotta Catch em All, so your wrong about that part, though the games are fake clearly, the box art is weird, it looks like a picture that was downloaded from the internet then sticked on a box, notice that the Pokemon pictures fill the whole front of the box on the real games, atleast they do on mine
