Well I’m sorry I don’t want to pay 100+ dollars to play a really old game. I get it for collection purposes but if you just want to relive playing the game, replicas are fine for the vast majority. If you’re a collector you should be expecting to pay top dollar for a legit copy. I’m grateful to the people who make those duplicate carts so I can relive one my favorite games around.
@@Usalas56 yup same here with Invader (GBA Shmup by Xicat Interactive) pretty unknown game but still costs a fortune and a half when you want to get a legit copy, my brother went ahead and just bought me a replica which works just like the original. The only problem that I can see when it comes down to Pokémon games is the lack of connectivity with the 4th Gen games which is important to certain people
I honestly dont mind that people are making replica cartridges, it allows people to play a physical version of older games without spending too much. It just sucks that they try to pass them off as real.
Until Nintendo bans your account because the pokemon you sent to Home shares an OT ID with like 500 other people. Fuck people who make repros in their eyeholes.
@@yaboimattyg377 the one I bought works fine. I looked at reviews of it, mostly good, but some said the game crashes or wont save or there are glitches. I havent had any problems like that though.
The middle line of the letter N in the back is just a thin line in the original cartridges while in the fake ones the middle line is as thick as the other two. That’s another really easy detail to look at.
back in the day when i didnt have alot of money I traded in games to gamestop for the credit towards newer games, sadly Pokemon Diamond/Pearl and Black/Black 2 were among those i traded in, years later I still regret trading those ones in seeing how hard it is to find real copies now days. Been hoping Nintendo makes more digital versions of the older games like with the old school Gen 1 and 2 on the 3DS system.
From my view, not all the real cartridges have a slit on the top. I bought an authentic Pokemon Platinum copy when it first came out, and on mine there’s no slit. I might be wrong here, considering some DS cartridges are made differently depending on the region, but I *can* confirm that it doesn’t need to have the slit to be authentic.
Do the light test! I actually don’t know if it works for this but for Pokémon black, white, 1&2 the cart is actually a super dark translucent purple/red. With a bright light it is super easy to spot a fake
I think Platinum, Diamond and Pearl cartridges are grey, not sure why cause HG/SS are black. But the infrared sensor always tells if it's fake or not, I haven't seen it in fake copies.
@@-p5792 The non-grey cartridges seem to be for games that have infrared functionality built into them. The overwhelming majority of DS cartridges are the standard grey. So @OP you can't use a light for DPP.
I had no idea about that. If I didn't have a flash light and white 2 next to me to test it I would have thought it was a myth or something. Really interesting.
years ago I got a copy of pokemon ruby, I was so excited to play it at a kid but every few days it would randomly reset the data, and it couldn't trade with my leaf green. i didn't learn until years later it turned out to be fake. was really disappointed as a kid and still am that these fakes are still on the market
After I lost my original copy of platinum I bought a fake one on amazon to replace it because of the cheaper price and it has been functioning the same as any real copy. I can trade to and from other fourth gen games and it doesn't freeze abnormally.
Mind sharing the link ? I too lost my original copy and am debating buying a fake, but I’ve had bad experiences with fakes before. I would love to know where to buy a good fake
Same. I got a fake after my platinum was stolen and it can even access to the GTS and obtain mystery gifts using the special DNS code. HGSS on the other hand is full of shit cartridges that freeze after Morty's gym and won't connect to the Pokewalker.
I can not believe what I am seeing… I even did a check on some games that aren’t Pokémon that are on DS cartridges and I think I’m legit in denial. The fact the people I bought DS games from were able to make copies that run without any bugs or glitches is unreal. Learning there are fake games is even more unreal
The “O” on Nintendo on the back is always a perfect circle on fakes and is an oval on real ones you can tell in your video here too but normally is hard to tell just from pictures
Bought a copy of Platinum with box & manual and saw that the save file was last played in November 2009. The person legit got the trainer school in Jubilife city, saved the game, and never came back. Also, thanks for this video! Glad to know that my $110 were spent on a legit copy !! (:
I'm so upset now. I've never had any problems with my platinum. No glitches. No random slowdowns. It ran like it was a real copy. I guess I just got lucky with who I bought it from.
That's unfortunate. If you're able to, i definitely recommend going to local game stores. They'll at least tell you when they're selling repros and when they have real ones.
I hate it when people try to tell me their cartridges aren't fake, even though I'm literally a collector whose had to look out for these signs for years.
Well people just don't want to think they've been ripped off. Leave them to it anyway. If they're happy playing their fake copies and they don't have any game breaking save issues or anything.. Then what's the harm in them having it.
I guess just for collection value? Or from people who dont want to buy r4's or fakes at all. For example, i have an r4 cart, but a few months back i searched and managed to buy an original copy of a game called "the world ends with you" because i liked it so much i wanted to have an actual cart of it
Just bought pokemon platinum off of mercari for 122$. Arrived today. It was listed as authentic, and it is! :) But I'm not surprised since the seller has a 5 star rating and hundreds of reviews. Thanks for this video though!
I think for me I could tell the right is fake because of how the ESRB logo looks. The "E" looks way too thin compared to what the "E" should actually look like.
I just learned that mine is fake but the strange thing is is that it functions identically to a legit copy and can even connect to trade and battle with the other gen 4 games. I was also able to transfer Pokémon to gen 5 perfectly fine. Is it normal for fakes to be like this?
@@douglasarchibald1427 I don’t have that game sadly. I’ve also had no save data corruption and was able to use wifi functions with it (creating a hot spot with your phone and doing a few other simple things let you use DS wifi again) so it just must be a really good fake function wise.
I can’t tell what’s up with mine, it has a couple qualities that might make it fake but everything else checks out. It freezes a lot and the triangle is engraved pretty deeply but nothing else seems off. Is it possible mine is fake or just corrupted?
I bought a copy of Platinum awhile back on Ebay and used this to try and figure out if it was real, everything checks for real, except the Nintendo logo on the front it looks like the white jpg, but the cartridge aligns and the engravings arent deep

This is why people resort to flash carts. I learned about fakes the hard way purchasing the Pokémon games for gba. Tried to back them up and all the roms and saves were all no good. Which I discovered was because they were fake. Took forever to hunt down even one legitimate copy of any of them after that and they’re so expensive now it’s just not worth it. I just decided to go the flash cart route after that.
Had ordered a copy from GameStop online, received it but it was so destroyed it wasn't ever going to work. Returned and ordered a second copy. It worked but I wanted to make sure it was real( It is) and this video cleared it up for me! Thank you so much
It might continue to work fine, or it might not. Build quality varies. But definitely don't sell it or give it to anyone else without making it 100% clear to the recipient that it is a bootleg.
It depends. If your DS doesn't work well with authentic cartridge, then it's the DS, otherwise the cartridge may be damaged/dusty. But it's probably fake.
Thank you so much for this video. My brother got the gba and Pokemon platinum and diamond at a yard sale with a ds and a gba for $5 a few years ago and he was going to sell them but he never did and said I could have them and all the games he got from it was authentic. I was really happy when he gave them to me because I lost ruby and platinum as a kid and never found them. So now I have them I sold firered because I already had an authentic one.

I checked all my DS Pokémon games and they all look good thanks what sucks is this video is both helpful and shows ppl who make fakes the problem with fakes but hopefully if ppl buy these games they get real ones
Wow oh my god! I just checked one of my Platinums and it was fake! Had no clue. Luckily it wasn't too expensive. Only $40 CAD The sticker color wasn't too saturated and you could still see through the Nintendo Logo but the other signs such as the clip at the top weren't there! The chip wasn't aligned too well either Thank you for making this video! I remember when I bought it, it felt a little weird and different than my other Platinum but I didn't think of it too much

This is why I only buy games from a actual store and not from a 3rd party you get what you pay for people dont worry about saving a few bucks it's not worth it
How hasn’t Nintendo got on this decade long counterfeit nonsense but got on Palworld which lasted like what? A month?
Does the fake copies save
I checked all my DS Pokémon games and they all look good thanks what sucks is this video is both helpful and shows ppl who make fakes the problem with fakes but hopefully if ppl buy these games they get real ones
Wow oh my god!
I just checked one of my Platinums and it was fake! Had no clue.
Luckily it wasn't too expensive. Only $40 CAD
The sticker color wasn't too saturated and you could still see through the Nintendo Logo but the other signs such as the clip at the top weren't there! The chip wasn't aligned too well either
Thank you for making this video!
I remember when I bought it, it felt a little weird and different than my other Platinum but I didn't think of it too much
did it worked though ?
@@anasmumin2405 thanks I can't afford right now the official and I didn't want the experience to be ruined
why does my copy look fake? what does this mean? is the nintendo police going to come to my house and kill me because I unknowingly bought a repro of pokemon platinum?
top left hand corner has a weird artifact too on the sticker. it shouldn't have a dark grey splotch.
Great video with awesome comparison. Thank you!
