    I was about to buy leaf green version on Etsy, and by this video, it looks same as the fake one you pointed out here. It’s pretty disappointing people are selling fake ones… you saved me from falling for a fake so cheers!

    I was really get scared when you were comparing them, until you showed and said that there are 2 types of authentic when it shows the year of the game being made. Thank you for making this video you really help everyone that are uneasy about buying old pokemon games.

      Me too! When I saw that there was no circle on the Nintendo logo and the writing was different inside of the chip had me worried. When the third Leafgreen was shown I sighed in relief lol 😂

    after seeing they are fakes i realized how much money could be made from doing somthing like this, buy a few boards for how ever much, dump the roms on them then sell them in bundles so you can reasonable ask for a higher price.
    it's still ashame that we over price our old games as if their is only a few left, makes it hurt worse for all the game's lost over the years due to moving yourself or other things

    One thing I also notice about the authentic gba Pokémon games is that if you look at the front of the cartridge where it says gameboy advance you can see a small silver or white-ish circle, that is the screw showing and it is actually visible on all authentic games

    there is a very late production with much lighter text on the maskrom chip and a much smaller flash memory chip that's unbranded
    it's probably the player's choice edition, which means it should share all the text (including on the maskrom chip, AGB-BPRE/BPGE-0) with version 1.1
