Paid ~50 for mine CIB

Its an expensive fucker but the thing is, it always will be.
No point waiting for it to get cheaper, if you're gonna get it just do it now

>>32582149

Used copies sell for like 10 bucks on ebay, wtf are you talking about?

lmao

I don't believe you. A person can't possibly have such horrible tastes. Everything has a limit.

>tfw I still have my old one, but it's battery is dry so i can't harvest berries on it anymore

>>32582236
nah only fake ones sell for that low of a price

>>32582149
$20 isn't expensive at all.

>>32582269
Only reason I personally have to play Emerald over it is the postgame and at this point I'm not playing either for postgame.

>tfw I have three
All the batteries are dead though.

>>32582149
Just emulate it

>>32582154
I see you're a man of culture as well.

Found a legitimate copy for $5 at a flea market a few years ago. Battery's dead though, of course.

>>32582149
>tfw no delta emerald

The market decides what is reasonable. Oras is better anyway

The battery in my copy died but then I came inside of it and now it'll have a new battery in about 9 months

>>32582513
Referring to the gif of Ralph?

Bought one for 20 bucks due to ORAS hype. Thanks, Nedgame. Now if I could only find GBA Fire Emblem for a cheap price...

>>32582236
Those are undoubtedly fake copies.

>>32582149
I have two copies of emerald
Both are bootlegged
One doesn't save and the other deletes the save file whenever I try to use pal park
Apparently that's some kind of anti piracy method

>TFW playing without the battery

It's amazing how un-comfy it makes it
Gets rid of all the relaxing, neat stuff like sales, berries and by extension contests, you can never get all of the berrymaster's wife's berries, one shot at mirage island, one shot at the lotto, no shell bell or snorunt, only one copy of return and never a copy of frustration, it just really limits everything in the most uncomfortable way.

>>32582149
I got mine for ~$25 on eBay. What is your definition of a reasonable price?

>>32582149
I saw one at 8-Bit Retro in Santa Fe. maybe call and ask?

Is a copy of Emerald really so rare?

tfw got a boxed copy with manual in amazing condition last year for 50 USD , i hwas searching for it for over 6 years

>>32582489
you cant emulate cloning all those legendaries to fill future game pokedexes on GTS, or at least the 3ds games

This thread inspired me to look in my loft, never expected to find it in such great condition. The manual still has sharp edges. Bit scared to take that sticker off though. I wonder if the battery still works ? Haven't touched it for 10+ years

>>32583085
Yeah you can
You can use an action replay or something to transfer your save file from emulator to cartridge

Oh well.

I guess this makes it worth a lot less ? I knew about the gen 1/2 batteries dying but I thought the GBA cartridges had better tech in them. Is it even possible it could last this long ?

>>32583170
The game uses flash for save data
The battery is just for time based events
You can replace it
Just get a CR2025 and a security bit screwdriver

>>32583189
Someone trying to ruse people into thinking the EU cartridges weren't green too.
There are tons of bootlegs online, more than half of them are.

>>32583189
One of my emeralds is like that, except the label is just a standard emerald label
I got it off eBay 5 years ago. The seller had no pics of the actual cartridge. Boy was I retarded. Anyways, that's a bootleg right there

>tfw the Christmas of the year it was released

tfw you used the 1st gen DS to transfer 3rd gen pokemon through all later gens into the current.

>>32583189
It's a bootleg. Then again its just a rom dumped into it, so it should work perfectly fine and even allow Pokémon to be transfered via Pal Park.

Hell yeah, Ralph is the shit!

>>32582673
Good thing I completed the dex prior to the battery dying. Plus you can clone everything.

If that doesn't tip you off about it being a fake, I don't know what will

>>32583189
My Fire Red looks like that

It doesnt hold a save. I bought a few bootlegs at a flea market for 3 dollars each. Can post if you want.

>>32583233
I will literally never understand this shit.

Why the fuck do they make pretty cool side-events like the Celebi one in HGSS or Arceus/Shaymin all event exclusive and you either needed to be at a certain cinema about 7 years ago or cheat. It boggles the mind who thinks this is a good idea.

>>32583189
The case of my emerald cartridge broke and I put in the case of another shitty GBA game.

Paid $20 for mine, your best bet is to check flea markets, >>op

The battery is replaceable, it doesn't lose any value

though it might be a good idea due to eventual increases in value, but i'm hoping i won't be relying on selling fucking pokemon games in times to come

Guys, try the app Let Go. That's how I got my legit copies of Red and Blue for 40$. Tested it and works fine. Not even bootleg or fake. You can find some real cool stuff on it. Also try your local second hand game stores. You may not find what you want in them but you may find something else you're missing. Just figured I put this out there to help. Let Go is also a free download. Make sure to bring your gameboy of whatever with you when you meet up with the seller in case it works.

>>32586885
>>32586945
You guys missed your shot by about nine months. Prices of OG pokemon games shot into the fucking sky after the release of PokemonGo. I'm sure they'll continue to rise but not to the extent of last summer.
And yes, I still play PoGo
