Fakes Online. Does This Bug You?

Pokemon Jade:

and,

Pokemon Diamond:

I was brousing Ebay and I came across these two games. I must say they are good imatations but they made an error. The package says for Game Boy Color. But the problem is, they don't make Color games any more and these Pokemon don't excist. Everyone knows that. There are some great screen shots on google. For a second I almost thought they were real. But then again a good hacker could do stuff like this with ease.

Why would it bug you if some creps made a fake game just to make a quick buck?

 

[IceKitten]

Would you be upset if you bought what you thought was something you wanted and it turned out to be something [insert swear word here] ?

I am upset about people selling pirate copies of games on eBay... I had bought Ruby and Sapphire from the same seller there... then when I had it, I caught many of them, beat the E4, caught rayquaza and groudon of course and won many competitions... But then the time wasnt moving, and I did not know the reason for that o.o'
So I went to check on the internet... and I found out that the game was just a fake copy because the cartridge was black and the nintendo logo wasnt shiny... so I gave it back to the seller with a refund after doing all of that work on it T~T I spent days playing it..... -_-'

It's just a rom hack and it dosent bother me...

There stupid enough to buy it XD;

 

[Alana]

Maybe people are foolish enough to fall for it but that doesn't mean others should take advantage of them. People are bidding on those games.

 

[Psychotic_Demon]

thats so stupid. just for money. but i guess some people are just...... uh........ greedy? but ya have to admit, they did a pretty good job.

I know Tech Specs of Diamond, and I've made a Thingy table for it years ago, but I won't bore you with that stuff now.

Those both fakes are already very old and a newbie prank on eBay. If people don't google for stuff and just think "EH c00l! NEW! yeah gonna buy that one" it's at least partly their fault.

I think those are old boxes of that so called, "Pokemon" game, I think I've seen that somewhere on the internet.

I remember downloading the rom for it, and I said "What is this crap?" that game was so bad even for a rom hack.

But unfortunatly pirated games are everywhere and people will just keep figuring out how to make them as time goes by, it sucks that people bid on those games but thats the way things are.

 

[espeon and umbreon]

I saw pirated pokemon games many times. This is just taking advantage of people who can't tell difference between real one and fake one. That's why I never actually buy anything on internet.

 

[Alana]

"Yeah thats a good reason not to buy anything. But if you can tell the difference between real and fake I can't see any reason not to.

 

[PokemonChampion2K4]

yeah i played the diamond rom it sucked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Carlito-san]

My friend fell for it. he was all like"OMG!the New pokemon game that ROXORZ!"then i said"dude thats not a real game.So he then went to a corner and hit his head on the wall.He wasted 30$.He then let me play it.Complete ********.

 

[Alana]

I wonder if telling the person whos selling it that we know its fake, I wonder if that will make them stop. Maybe they'll be afraid of getting reported and being kicked off Ebay.

 

[Prons]

Well, you can tell it's not real if you can't find any reviews on it at IGN or something, considering Pokemon is a fairly popular franchise, you would be able to find dozens of reviews and info on it if you look.

 

[Alana]

True but not many people bother to check. They just buy.

 

[Omega Torkoal]

Well, the Diamond one (The name atleast) will be real soon. But the Jade is just plain fake. If anyone bought those I fell sorry for them. Either they got ripped, or got a cool hacked game.

 

[Scyther]

they are cool games i play them on visual boy, i was impressed
but there is much room for improvment
