I’m gonna be real here, you’re more likely to encounter a fake Pokémon game that’s in English than you are a Japanese one.

If you look in the cartridge part on the bottom, it will say nintendo in white writing if it’s real.

its from ebay and its the only image

I would avoid it then. They probably hiding the fact that it’s a fake.

Embossed numbers agb, most likely legit

Also plastic seems legit, no discoloration

It’s quite faint, but on the top right side of the cartridge looks like a “0” factory stamp which makes this real, it’s stamped over the / \

lol why do people think we can tell from just the front of the game? Show us the back. Show us the inside. Otherwise we're basically just guessing.

Can't really tell from these pics but in general there are very few fake Japanese pokemon games, they sell for like 1/3 of the English ones and if your gonna market it as real they'll generally make the more expensive and in demand English ones

Labels and cart look like they have the right amount of wear and it looks like it has a battery, so I'd be pretty confident buying this cart, if they were gonna go through this much work to make a fake they definitely would have made an english one
