Hi, I was at my local trade-in store and saw a couple of Japanese and English Pokemon GBC games for sale, but I was hesitant to buy them because I couldn't tell if they were fake or not. (Previous bad experiences... ugh)
Is there anything I can identify a fake with?
The only two ways i know are the "MADE IN JAPAN Pat Pend" text on the back of the cart and the six edged weird screw thing on the back of the cart both mean that the game is probably real.
Also, A sticker pasted over the aforementioned screw thing probably means that it is a fake. (Also, other things like blurry labels, etc)
Are there any other ways? Also, what about cart colors?
Any ideas? Thanks!
EDIT: found this website, seems like a good guide too. https://8bc.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=19736
