A Reddit post in the GameBoy subreddit caught some eyes. It showed a fake yellow Game Boy Pokémon cartridge displayed at a GameStop. The post received many comments, pointing out the poor quality of this bootleg Pokémon game.
Is the image of the post in the article not the actual thing they’re talking about? It says it was obvious because instead of “GameBOY” it just said “GAME” along with other issues that the image of the reddit post included doesn’t match at all.
The only thing in the image included in the article that is gnarly is the fact they are trying to sell it for nearly $50.
