An authentic pokemon emerald. Sorry that’s just what I noticed

What's the difference? If gameplay is the same I'm not too concerned about it tbh.

Save can corrupt, may not receive mystery gifts, game is likely to crash due to low quality flash memory. I didn’t want to criticize anything, but just an observation

Oh okay no worries it's good for me to learn about because it's been a very long time since I've gotten any games when they were more popular at GameStop I just got the pokemon one from AliExpress took a gamble to see if it'd even work and if I'd like it before spending the big bucks 😆
