3rd Gen Is this a real Firered cartridge?

Found this pic on Amazon, do you guys think this is real or a bootleg? ~_~ I don't wanna get scammed..

If you're thinking your cartridge is a bootleg or fake, refer to this handy guide on bootlegs, compiled by PC's own Team Fail: https://www.pokecommunity.com/posts/7606061/

My FireRed cartridge looks just like that and I know that I have a legit copy. Seems safe.

It's not a great picture, but from what I can tell, that appears to be a picture of a legit FireRed cartridge. Of course, if you aren't sure yourself, Hikari posted a great reference page by Team Fail from a few years back. As with buying any games over the internet though, it's pretty easy to be tricked into buying a counterfeit item, so be sure to check the seller's reviews and be aware of any return policies in case the cartridge isn't legit (though, if you're getting the one pictured, you should be okay!).

If you have a DS and a copy of Diamond Pearl or Platinum, put the GBA cartridge into the DS, and play D/P/Pt, and there should be a new option on the menu.
