I recently bought Pokemon White 2 from Amazo UK (Marketplace). The game was supposed to be "brand new and factory sealed":
However, when the game arrived, and I gave it a closer look, I found a few difficult to notice at first glance scratches and imperfections on the upper and right side of the game. And the box felt re-sealed rather than factory sealed (as if it is original material, but had been previously open and then resealed).
But when I was talking to some people online, I was told that I shouldn´t feel cheated by the seller, and that I should be happy that my purchase is actually a genuine White 2 game, because most DS Pokemon games that are still "brand new and unused" today, are actually fakes and bootlegs, so I should be glad that I didn´t recieve one of those.
So my questions are: are there really THAT many bootleg Gen 5 Pokemon games sold as "genuine" these days? Or is it an exaggeration? I even read somwhere that around 70% of DS Pokemon games sold today are bootlegs... Is it true?
And so, should I be content with my probably-used-but- at-least-genuine White 2 game, or should I try to get an actual brand new BW2? Or is the risk of getting a fake on Amazon/E-Bay too high?
Thanks!
just play the game nerd thats what its there for

That´s far from the answer I am looking for.
Non- edgelord answers are welcome.

Then fuck off to tumblr.
Why don't they ever put anything in the trash cans
They did it like twice in gen 1 and then nothing
They know I still fucking check literally every one I come across, first thing I remember happening in BW2 was getting mocked for it even.
>>32196160
my guess is that they probably thought people hardly ever checked them. obviously I don't know for sure but I do feel your pain. I know people give gamefreak a hard time on everything but shit what is the literal fucking point of checking trash cans if they never give you shit?
>>32196160
Stop digging through the trash then.
>>32196231
>>32196174
Not OP, but you could find leftovers on the trash back in the days of GSC so dont blame us for trying.
I feel you OP

They're not even the same type.
Chicken-chan thread.
Through the powers of meme magic and duct tape, you are able to choose one eeveelution to have with you in the real world. Simple as that, no catches, no conditions. Who do you choose and why?

Pokemon starters are generally Fire, Water and Grass. Is there any other typing that would work just as well for starters too?
Psychic, Fighting and Dark. I would love to see GF do that but it'll never happen. Delphox, Greninja, and Chesnaught don't count.
Ghost - Psychic - Dark is a common one people go for. I also just thought then Ground - Electric - Water, and Ice - Flying - Fighting
>>32195915
Fighting - Rock - Flying
But Espeon is pretty good.

Daily reminder that this would absolutely be the best game in the series.
>But it wouldn't be Pokemon! Not even a little!
You are autistic if you think less handholding and overworld Pokemon makes a game "not Pokemon."
>>32195801
I would buy the switch just to play that game.

No thank u desu.
What are you expecting of the DPPt remakes in regards to Dialga, Palkia, Giratina and Arceus?
This is not a debate thread on WHEN we get remakes, but on WHAT the remakes will give us.
Discussion on other aspects welcome too. Such as potential Megas, character re-designs, Z-Moves, story changes, etc.
>>32195800
I hope they stay the same like HGSS did, meaning no new forms and stuff, but I would also like to see some Giratina post game too.
I hope they have new megas and they aren't all postgame, I will be really upset if instead of Megas we get exclusive Z-Moves.
But the one thing I really want is actual events, I loved how the events allowed you to do something, for instance how you would sail to that island to catch Darkrai, I've missed the old events because these days they just give you the Pokemon instead of you doing a little side quest to catch it. If GF included this in the remakes I think that it could be considered a returning feature. also no hms please i cant go back.
>>32195853
>I hope they have no new forms
>I hope they have Megas
???
Megas are dead. Z-Moves will be dead after this gen. If these remakes are gen VII, the starters, legendaries and other Pokémon without a Mega or Alolan form (Weavile, Crobat) will get exclusive Z-Moves.
I don't see Sinnohian(?) forms happen.
And I'd love a Deoxysification of another Mythical.
