Psht, even if they are they work just fine. Much better than getting a real copy anyways, even though I doubt that your correct.

>>30058171
The colours aren't accurate.
SS isn't silver and HG looks like the sides of my toliet bowl after I've eaten Mexican food.

>>30058212
I know that SS isn't silver, it's blue you blind twit.
Considering that this HG cartridge looks exactly like you've described, you've confirmed that they're real. Good day.

>>30058124
they're fake, and are known to damage the card reader in your 3DS and even corrupt/brick it upon using the game.

>>30058246
They're completely functional, >>30058232
proved to me that they're real.

>>30058269
lol this is funny

Professional Nintendo cartridge examiner here.
I can in fact say that these fine cartridges are without a doubt 100% legitimate Nintendo products.
Please don't listen to these fools my good OP

>>30058290
I know, there are too many trolls here today. If I alerted them of discarding my games, they would probably mock me directly afterwards.

>>30058312
At least not everybody here is a scam artist.

>>30058124
if they work they work but the fake pokemon gba games were dogshit the save wouldn't even work properly

Congrats, OP. You just helped fund some Chinese NEET's lifestyle.

>>30058377
I don't believe that one can generate a living off of selling things for less than they were purchased.

>>30058389
we both know these are made for less than a dollar. these sell on ebay for more than that, so yeah, they're making a profit.

>>30058124
>Nintendd

>>30058124
Congrats you just wasted your money

>>30058389
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting. These would cost less to make than the guy is making by selling them to retards like yourself.

>>30058415
Nice try, that's just the O font that the company utilizes, it's even on my other products that have been functional for years.

>>30058377
>Chinese
Lol even that
These go for less than a dollar on alibaba (Chinese ebay), any retard can make profit of those

>>30058432
>underaged actually think these threads are funny

Wait so if these are bootlegs, do they not work at all or are they just the HGSS ROM illegally loaded onto a bullshit cartridge?

okay then

>>30058124
If you hold them up to a light source, are they translucent red? If not, they're fake.

>>30058432
Yeah that one was a bit too obvious there, champ.

>>30058463
They aren't, I've tested both SS and HG and they work in a pristine fashion. I might even buy more to sell them to Gamestop, I can't believe their trade-in policy has been obsolete.

>>30058473
I'm not braindead, that isn't part of the criteria to prove that they're fake or not.

>>30058509
Yes it is dumbass, all the DS carts have IR chips in them which require the carts to be translucent.

>>30058509
It is though due to the ir used in them.

>>30058548
That's all just a matter of opinion.

>>30058564
Opinion does not factor any change in hg/ss using IR to communicate with pokewalker an B/W and sequels with each other for Keys and such.

>>30058597
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about since from what I can tell the cartridges shown here are clearly legit.
No idea what this IR nonsense you're talking about is but please stop spreading false information on this board. Thank you!
