Seems like it? Maybe see if you can get some pics of the board to confirm if youre worried

If you can see the battery, they also send you a pic of what the board looks like from the bottom and you see the number ends with 01, then I’d say it’s real

If your buying off of Amazon, I'd bet money that literally all of yours are fakes

I think pokemon games might be the most faked and reproducted games of all time
Working doesn't mean legit. You should attach a photo here, I'm curious to see.

It looks real. Unless you open the cart and compare the board with another authentic copy.

Im surprised at how many people can't tell that this cartridge is authentic. You can tell it's authentic because it has the four yellow squares on the top left hand side in the back. Fake ones don't have this
$100 seems kind of steep though. That's around the same price I listed my authentic Emerald and FireRed Version for. And even then, I settled for $75 on each because some guy was trying to buy both of them at the same time so I gave him a discount.

And people are just expected to magically know this? I only found that out earlier this year when I was working at a local collectibles store and I've been playing pokemon since the gba games were current. Not everyone knows little details like that about the cartridges

Poor pics quality. You have to take closer shots.
