>>17260409Go to youtube and look up how to spot bootleg pokemon games. There are a whole multitude of things to look at when buying. All Nintendo games have anti-boot features but Pokemon is in another league.
Look for things like foil stickers, micro-stamping, serial numbers, chip print, cartridge shape, etc... Look at price too, if it is too cheap or too much, it is fake.
Don't buy from Amazon, use eBay and add in the word "authentic" to your searches. Look at 1 star reviews on potential sellers and look at the image carefully. Then when you are satisfied order, keep all contact info and receipts in case you have a dispute.
