Can you tell me if these games are fake?

Hey, my friend got Moon recently and he liked it very much. He want to get more pokemon games and found some cheap ones on Ebay, could you tell me if they are legit / If not, are they not playable?

Some of the links are very long so i put them all together in here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qkr4Z5TBzsrH4LWwJqTpxdLvgr-zxpef_2-7eB_zfY4/edit

They are all from China / Hong Kong.

Thanks! :)

I'm not particularly knowledgeable about this but after doing a bit of reading/research it looks like they're both probably fine. The HGSS ones at least looks totally legit, but I'm unsure if B2 is fine as well - maybe get a second opinion on that one because I'm not 100% sure.

The Black 2 cartridges are definitely not legit- a game will never have an ESRB rating of RP, as that basically means the game hasn't been rated yet. Always be careful when buying online anyway, as it's easy for a seller to use a legitimate picture, and then send you a fake copy of the game.

Just remember, if the price on something seems too good to be true, chances are it probably is. You're better off to spend a little bit more money and be assured you're getting a legit copy instead of just rolling the dice and hoping for the best.

Okay, Many thanks for help! :) Yeah the Black and White 2 look like chinese copys.

The HeartGold is fake. The colors are off by too much to be a camera issue.

I honestly wouldn't buy any of them.

Link 1: The sticker looks to grainy and you can't really read the Everyone above the rating.

Link 2: None of the pictures look consistant. The HeartGold in picture 3 is a fake.

Link 3: Cartridge is the wrong color, the sticker is off and the code at the bottom never had a black background it's always white. Along with the games always having a rating on them.

Link 4: Basically the same as link 3.
