That’s true, but won’t stop you from buying fakes, just confirm that you did. The best thing you can do is to educate yourself on what a fake looks like, especially if you’re going to be buying pokemon emerald for $200.

For sure, but that second layer of confirmation when you get home is good to have. The fake in this picture is very obvious, but the GBA games can be a lot more subtle.
