Bros help. I didn't expect that. How do I tell real from fakes. If it has a box with all the booklets its safe?

Quoted By:

Step 1: Don't buy from any Chinese sellers
Step 2: Buy from a reputable seller with positive reviews (this is for ebay, amazon can be a crapshoot)
Step 3: There are guides online on how to recognize counterfeits provided the seller includes pictures of the cartridge

Not always. There are a lot of good guides that show what to look for. And as always it's better to go to a used game store rather than online. They have better quality control and let you look at the game close up and test it.

If you wanna make sure you actually get legit cartridges and don't mind paying sort of expensive prices, just go to GameStop.

Only time I ever bought a fake game was SoulSilver (turned out to be some sort of rom hack on the cartridge) and they exchanged it for another which turned out to be real.

Are games like Platinum/Heartgold usually always legit?

Be wary of GameStop. Their return policy is very short compared to other game retailers (only 7 days) and prices are inflated beyond belief. Buying online isn't as scary as it may seem, but if you'd rather buy in person, try to support other used game retailers if you can.
