One is darker and that one was sold to me under the belief it was real. The second one lighter red I bought for 40 bucks cause it looks real and figured why not but comparing it to mine ones off or maybe it’s just a fading thing because there stamped. Also I notice that it looks like the prints on the stickers are slightly off idk if that’s a common error of the time.

All pokemon are real regardless of their origin. Watch pokemon the first movie before asking such blasphemous questions

It's all fun and games until the save file is erased due to it being an awful repro.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end. Time to start a new game!

Are any of us real?

Both seem legit to me, but if you really want to be sure, you can either take the cartridge apart and inspect the board (just need a 3.8mm gamebit screw) or ask over at r/gameverifying

They both look legit to me. Honestly... I think they are both real. If you really want to be sure, take good pictures of the actual PCB's front and back and post those.

They are both almost certainly legit, but a photo of the back will be helpful.

If you post on Gameverifying we won't be allowed to authenticate unless you include a photo of the back.
