I got leaf green from my friend for free ☺️

leaf green is expensive now?? damn i used to have it when i was like 6 but my mom sent it to her home country for some other kids

I downloaded from romsmania😂💓

@@hellroids leafgreen is actually one of the cheaper pokemon titles, goes for about £20

@@Internazionale2010 thats 27 usd? pretty expensive for an old ass game tbh

That’s actually such an awesome find! Well done for spotting it and recognising its true value 😃

All i remember is selling my pokemon gen 1 and 2 games to gamestop for $4 rip :(

@@shangerdanger that's a big rip...

Right??

Glad you’re enjoying!

@@PhoenixResale thanks man youre awesome !!! It’s cool how this is your job and you get to make people happy with your hood charisma !

Use me as a retweet button

Very true. The easiest way to tell is to look at the chip on the back.

I agree, I’ve seen repos with that Nintendo written right above the pins. For me it’s been the 4 gold plates rectangles on the back side of they game the confirmed authenticity.

Same one way to know your cart is a reproduction is by looking at the print and color its not noticeable by say like camera but if you have the real deal and a reproduction put them side by side you will notice the words are kinda hazy and the color around the case/art/cart is kinda faded or some what bland the reason for this is because it was likely printed out by a google image or something so the paper is weaker and the art is normally smeared or discolored in someway

Yup I've never seen a fake with that chip on the back. That's how I tell, some fakes also have that stamp on the front

On every official cartridge (except some special carts, like Yoshi’s Topsy-Turvy), a two digit number is mechanically pressed into the paper. This number is usually only visible in the correct lighting, or if it’s an old cart that’s collected enough dirt over the years to fill the indentation. Bootleg games almost never have this number, and even when they do, it’s printed in ink rather than pressed

Nowadays repros look very authentic they even add the little details too like the production patch numbers. Best way to tell if a game is fake or not is the "game boy advanced" logo on the cartridge. On a real one the "Game boy" should be thick while on repros the font is much thinner. Pokemon games with seethrough casing are simple. If in the back theres 4 golden squares its probably real motherboard at least. On firered and leafgrean (on pal at least) you can see on the top right of the sticker there should be a spot that looks like its cracked but its just an inset for the battery that can be seen from outside. On fake ones you wont see it because they are too lazy to add that detail on their mass produced shells.

Tony hawks ps 4 for gba has no number stamps as well.

The back of the board tells all. Pokemon games have 4 pins on the back upper left corner reproductions can't replicate

Ha

@Ancient Rights trying

Yeah my latest clones were on offical Nintendo boards 🤔

@@videogamepolak0 at a glance without dismantling I look for the punched code on the cartridge sticker.

Look for 4 golden squares at the back of the cartridge. Imprinted numbers on the front.

No you guys look for the Pikachu wearing sunglasses holding a sparkler, it's the only way to know if the cart's real.

@@JosephLedbetter lol

Haha thanks for tuning in Brad!

+Chris Stone if anything, "Joan of Arc" is a play on Jeanne d'Arc, as that is her actual name and English speakers, Americans particularly, don't seem cognitively capable of pronouncing, reading, speaking, writing or understanding any other language.

Smh

It is yea but it is a very good game on psp.

yeah lol thought the same thing

I sold my copy of Jeanne D'Arc for $7 around 10 years ago lol

Thats how i felt when i got a gameboy advance and pokemon gold for 50cents haha

Haha glad it worked out, thanks for the support Justin!

Pokemon Yellow was made in a similar was. Elite Four, and Gym Leaders had some different pokemon, with much higher levels. You did get all starters in Yellow though.

yes you are right. too many fake games out there

Yes always have a Triwing screwdriver on you if you go GBA game hunting.

Yes sir! Your 100% righr! Thet only way to be sure 100% is open it up and match the rom board and chips what they used back when they first made the game.

Not true, the best sure way to tell it’s not a fake game is to look at the “O” on Nintendo. On authentic cartridges no matter what it is the “O” will be more of an ellipse or oval but on reproduction cartridges it’s literally just an o

@@chasewilliams3128 Years ago I would agree that O was reliable way if you can see the game in person and tell what type of paper they use, but with a high quality printer its became fairly easy to reputate the original Nintendo logo and you can print old art work on old game cover paper that has had the original image removed - its not easy to remove but still possible. Most reliable way would be to open GBA cartridge.

Pretty much all of the fakes have nintendo logo on the board. Its just in different font. The best way to tell if they are real is the 2 number imprints on the bottom right of the label.

Best way I’ve noticed is to flip to the back side of the cartridge. You can usually see the circuit board on authentic carts and notice a gold rectangle on the left. Left top right for ruby/saphire/emerald and left middleish on leafgreen and firered. The repros I’ve seen are missing those rectangles and have noticeably different circuit boards

Maybe if scalpers and the Internet didn't make these games so sought after then repos wouldn't exist not their fault they they're making money because people decided to take kids games and make them "rare".

@@subzero308 wouldn’t call them scalpers. Its just the market. These games are getting older and harder to find. Its just something that happens with the older games. Also the repro companies make hardly any money off of them. You can get repros for 10 dollars. Sure some people will buy them but the vast majority of people want the legit cartridges. Its just the demand for games that haven’t been in print for a decade driving the price up.

My fire red was stolen

@@sniperpaintcorrection6790 my fire red red was just found while my basement flooded =/ wonder if it works

my soulsilver got lost or stolen

I use to have R/B/Y/G/C/S/Leafgreen along with my Ruby and Action Replay until they all got stolen. Luckily enough the only game that didn't get stolen was my Ruby which I have today.

No I’ve never had a hard time of it

I think it could be because there are sometimes very rude resellers and then after those experiences they think all resellers are jerks probably

yeah and sealed condition goes for way more than just complete. especially if graded.

Factory sealed? If so that would've been a steal

That's some good stuff you been smoking what strain was it?

@@dracesgaminghistory884 ligma

You realize sellers don’t determine prices right? The fact that buyers are willing to pay premium for these games is the reason people do this. Not the other way around.

I’ve never been so glad to own a disc until I saw how far the Gameboy Startup Disc was going for. Video games is the kinda thing where you’re best off experiencing it as it happens, because chances are you’d end up getting the shitter end of the stick trying to revisit

Good. They are literal treasures

Technically yeah.. however the buyers are the cause of prices increasing. Someone like this just resells. Qnd obviously has to give a deal from the going rate, to get it sold. Say a game is 100 bucks online. They buy for 50.. well you factor in cost to get to ship and the fees etc lets say its abother 20, so the person is in it for 70, they stand to make 30 max. However, you think they want to SIT on it and wait? People that sit on max prices and wait are the ones artificially creating the prices and keeping things insanely high too. He has to sell for maybe 90, that way it appeals to more buyers and he can get his $70 investment out of it and make his 20 bucks right? So he helped the market go down a bit for that game bcz people will say oh the selling price is actually 90 qt times for this game.. so Technically,,doing all this may LOWER the cost of games. And because theres more out in the wold to buy online due to reseller, the price has to drop for the douchebags holding out for that 100. Yes it can go both ways at times too. But ive only done such a thing a handful of times and thats how i saw it. Only way to sell is tp sell for less than going rate that others are holding for. And if its his JOB... he has to get his money back out asap. He wants the profit asap. Counterfeits are a whole other segment. Its been going on for years. Thats noones fault here except china. However its up to the buyer to know not to get ripped off.

@@inlinechris that goes both ways then. They're exploiting the demand of it and raising the price.

I haven't been to the new crossville store yet been to the Cookeville and McMinnville and got good pokemon card hits as well as some rare older games

Daaaang good for you! You should get it graded or sell it to me!

grade it, worth tens of thousands graded and sealed

@@mackinmall what’s a good website to get it graded?

Its not worth much but congrats I guess

@@A_78939 do some research, I think wata is the main one people use.

Thanks a bunch, glad you enjoyed!

Amen

Just recently found a fake copy of fire red locally with Nintendo above pins. Definitely look for stamp first.

Don’t feel bad, it’s really easy to just look up the price of a game you own and they decided not to, middle aged or not everyone knows what Pokémon is and they should have kept their eye on the price.

Yeah

The code on the sticker is like ingrave number and a letter

Nowadays the ingraves are there too. You really just need watch out for the gameboy advanced text font on the cartridge and if you are still in doubt the you need to see the mobo to confirm its authenticity

Thanks for the support, hope you enjoy!

I got one for you $800. 100% completed with poster as well

@@miladanki8380 pain

lol here in Philippines, all items which are old are being lowballed and most of people here just care bout new stuffs specially smartphones

@@Wakaweakweak7474 Sell me some old goodies ;)

Great come-up!

Or you just have higher quality fakes

Sadly in this day and age that isn't enough

My pokemon games are all japanese and have at least 160+ hrs of game play when I bought it 2nd hand... Would that also be fake by any chance?

@@ShinobiToyz you’re probably fine, pre existing save data is always good.

The way to actually tell is with the gold squares, and traces on the back of the mother board. Some fakes have Nintendo on them, I have seen them

Prices fluctuate all the time, it'll go back down when the hype dies down

You could be doing the same thing … put in the work instead of complaining
