Here is a picture of the most popular Authentic Pokemon games for the Nintendo DS: Pokemon games on the Nintendo DS that do not have the Y fold seal are either counterfeit or have been resealed (Which means at the very least that the package has been previously opened.)

The spacing is off and the text is bigger.īe sure if you are purchasing a Brand New, Factory Sealed Pokemon game for the Nintendo DS that it has the Y fold like the Pokemon White Version 2 game pictured below: The back of Counterfeit Cartridges also look a bit different. Pearl is pretty distinct missing almost all of the red hue that the real one above has.Ĭounterfeit Pokemon Platinum games have a red Nintendo symbol instead of the authentic Pokemon Platinum games having a black Nintendo Symbol. The most obvious flaw in the counterfeit Pokemon Diamond and Pearl games pictured on the bottom appear darker than the authentic ones. The text font is also incorrect on counterfeit games. The authentic ones pictured above are translucent black and includes the infrared sensor. The counterfeit Pokemon SoulSilver and HeartGold games on the bottom are grey and do not have the Infrared sensor and without it there is no way to connect the Pokewalker to the game, taking out one of the best parts of the game. Not only are the counterfeit games illegal, but they are also missing key features. There are many Counterfeit Pokemon games and I want to teach you how to watch out for them so that you don’t get ripped off.
