I bought FAKE Pokemon games off Ebay AGAIN! Gameboy Color 

Honestly, if they save, and play the games correctly, than these are a great low price way to experience the games.

Not only the metallic flakes being missing from the resin, but the fact that it doesn't say "Gameboy" on the top part of the plastic was a dead giveaway for me. It just says "game' lol

I love how the repro carts just says "GAME". It just gives them all a delightfully cursed feel!

In a way, these repro carts have the potential to be better than the original cart, not having to change the battery.

The save lag is from the interesting process that repros use for saving, it uses flash to preserve the saves forever Edit: game bugs and other hardware issues can cause loss of save

Oh boy! I can’t wait to play Pokémon Silver on my G A M E

I personally don't want to spend 50 or higher bucks for an old game so getting this for me is a win

A common complaint I hear about those reproduction carts is that in-game time doesn't progress when it's off, for Gold and Silver anyway. But I noticed that the cartridges don't have batteries in them, and i'm guessing they use flash or some similar method of saving, but there's a place on the PCB to install a battery. I wonder if the clock would function properly if a battery was soldered in. Has anyone tried this?

love how they just say "game" on the cart

@3:38 Charizard looks like a Magmar eating dodrio and digglits 😂

To me it would make no diffrence having an 3rd party reproduced copy of the game or just an rom out of the internet, to me getting "fake" versions of it is just a waste of money but I guess you could play it for cheap on your gameboy again, what Im trying to say is that those reproduced ones have no collecting value to me and if I wanted to save money I would just get an rom

Hi there the link is broken and I see a lot of options on eBay Do you know who the specific seller was (besides for Mr Zhang)

I’m going to buy those for myself, just as long as it saves, and if they can trade Pokémon between games, I’m fine with it

Great content keep at it my man

does anyone know how to extract the save from one of these to use in a legitimate cart? i have a joey jr coming hope i can use that

I have original Yellow and Gold, and would certainly not buy all original just to lost save after the years, so this fake ones are welcome to the collection. And even better: the save without battery, so win-win.

So does it have a battery?

Can't find the seller on eBay. Did you buy all together for 20 or individually

I love these it's a good idea if you're original cartridge died they use flash memory for saving instead of the stupid battery backup of the originals

I purchase them so I can use the Pokemon in the expansion PAK for Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 lol now those cartridges are real.

I bought these and have only tried crystal so far but the Pokédex says I have 82 owned Pokémon and crashes if I try to scroll through them all. Unplayable

People are going to start buying fake pokemon games because they are over priced is so ridiculous how the people are putting the price to high is so dumb plus if u are a collector stop buying over priced games

I don't know if we bought them from the same person or not, but I also bought them online, and they look identical. I was looking for the actual versions, but not enough information or pictures to tell that they were counterfeit, until arrival and opening. For mine it actually reads Nintendo Gameboy at the top, but the rest looks the same, the color, the picture, etc., but above all, the opening at the bottom of the game where the cartridge is. I just found out that any and every Pokemon in the pc is basically not there. When you try to withdraw any they show up with no name in the pc, and when you try to look at there information, or even withdraw one the game freezes. I also contacted the seller and he said that he would give me a refund upon return, but to return them it cost over $50 just for shipping, so in the end obviously returning wasn't worth it, as the shipping would have cost more than double what I paid for them in the first place. Just be careful when purchasing, if you don't already know whether it's legit or not.

so i have pokemon ROMs brown and prism cartridges, they dont save but play just fine. Or it says it does but doesnt. No battery inside, is there anyway to save them and be able to play them????

You can get one multicart with all of em on it. Or an everdrive.

Anyone know if you can play both Jhoto and Kanto regions on gold silver and crystal ones?

Any update on whether or not you can FOR SURE trade/battle with them? Also someone is in the comments here saying these cartridges save using a "flash" which apparently keeps the save forever? I want to hear more about the longevity of the save, not just "will it save once" but will it keep the saves for years, decades? Also, I don't suppose the same old glitches work for Red and Blue? That would be crazy

This is an interesting review because I keep getting advertisements for the games as well from AliExpress and I wasn't sure if these would even be able to play on a Game Boy Color I feel like if you're not really a collector and you're just getting into the games and you just want them to play or you just want them to maybe give to a kid who may not understand the value of the real ones so this is pretty cool to see I wish you would make a video of the Pokemon green and what that looks like because I hear the original Pokemon green is only in Japanese so they made an English version that'd be pretty cool for people in the US who have never played the game

So I made it to elite four on fake gold version and can't get past it because when I beat lance and do the hall of fame it saves but doesn't actually save anyone know how to get passed it? thanks

How you can tell these are fake: 1.) The top is supposed to say GAMEBOY and not GAME. LMAO 2.) The color of the cartridges on these fakes is like almost painted on, as if all the cartridges were ONE specific color and then painted red, blue, green etc. The originals look and feel like the cartridge is made out of that color right out of the factory. 3.) Pokemon Crystal version is unique amongst the GB and GBC era Pokemon games. Crystal doesn't only have the spots or speckles infused into the crystal, transparent, blue cartridge (like the youtuber mentioned on this video when he had it as a little kid) but it also did NOT have an indent where you grasp the GAMEBoy worded part, as the other Pokemon games did have. Crystal actually has it inverted, so instead of an indent (concave-shaped) its a bump (convex-shaped). 4.) The circuit board as the, youtuber showed, takes up the entire space on the inside of the cartridge and not half of it like these fake show (Also it has a battery as also pointed out). 4.) Last but certainly not least and probably the most obvious, and therefore hilarious way you can tell these lot of Pokemon games are fakes (or any others that are online, if you're looking to buy real ones) is Pokemon Green. That version was only ever officially released in Japan. So any "version" in English is not just a blatant fake, its a FAKE of a FAKE. Lol!!! 🤣 Nintendo never officially ported the original Japanese Pokemon Green, so if you play/buy a Pokemon Green in English its really just a hacked version of either Blue or Red (which were the only two to actually be ported by Nintendo for western release). And that's all folks!! But again this is for people that want to collect the originals, if its too expensive (which it can be) these fakes are cool to buy. 😎

“Pikachu yellow” that’s Pokémon yellow not Pikachu yellow

The gen 1 work fine but all the gen 2 are glitched. Crystal has a Pokédex that will restart your game and gold/silver are playable til you get to lance, it won’t save after the battle so your stuck at the elite four

I bought a fake version on eBay and it’s been almost 3 years and my game still is saved

Did you play the hole game to make sure it works

I got pokemon crystal. Very different looking cartridge. One wild pokemon used a berry. Doesnt keep time or day

If the stickers on the cartriges are changed with more accurate ones(especially Red and Silver) they might look like the originals Also, do they work with Pokémon Stadium 1 and 2 on the N64?

Does anybody know if you can trade in between? I wanted to get a few to build monster teams on the pokemon stadium games lol... anyone know if these games will allow that?

Not sure if you're aware but there's also now cartridges of that Game Boy color pokémon Black floating around

Does real time clock work on pokemon crystal?

How do u tell if their fake like on ebay

Do they save after beating the Elite Four?

Love gameboy have gameboy so hoping one day I can get a emarled and gold for it love vid your awsome

Those speckles is a thing we call glitters. Loved that look

Game stores sell real ones for 25 US. But depending on condition and if it’s got the box price is 10-100 higher.

I’ve purchased two and had issues with both. Took several hours of play to find the issue. After several saves, the my pc function corrupts the game. The names are blank and attempting crashing games on both carts.

i like the gameboy games but i like gba games better

Thanks for the advice man, i remember when my dad got me my first gameboy advance sp black and i played my little heart out and then, my cousin broke it can i was sad. Now i have enough money to buy one

The fakes or copies have saving glitches and errors, causing you to start over from day 0

so whats the differences between og and repro?

3:41 bro that charizard 🤣😭😭😭

Question: I bought one of these for Pokémon gold but the game won't save do you have any idea how to fix it?

This guy needs more subs

I was only interested in the green version but you didn't boot it up :( I wonder where they get the carts with the screw hole in the top middle instead of the bottom. The new flashcards don't have rtc since they do not have a battery so thats a big negative if you are playing gen2. Some of these aftermarket boards you can solder a battery on and get rtc to work but I think that's for gba only. I don't think you can with gbc

Did you start it like a Maxmoefoe video on purpose or accident?

If you have collected like 10 Pokemon and deposit them to bills PC their names become glitched after saving and turning off the game then turning back on the game, when you try to withdraw a Pokemon from bill's PC the game crashes. I own two reproduction Pokemon games so there is a flaw, good for the price but 3 stars for them over cons but pros for under pricing

Well It loads normally shows the normal two pokemon fighting then just crashes

is there a way to buy real genuine copies of the og games? i use to have them back in the day but i no longer have them except i found gold silver and crystal with a gbc at a yard sale a couple years ago.

yellow version doesnt make it past the 3rd badge without glitching out.....

You can test this carts in pokemon stadium 2 with the transer pack

Ok, Ive been playing G S C with my friend and I have only found one glaring issue (if it is solvable please let me know): You cannot save after beating Lance at the Pokemon League. Instead of Transporting you to New Bark, it will take you back to right before the lance battle. Also the clock feature doesnt work properly as it wont run congruent with actual time. Instead itll skip hours depending on how long you play the game and then save. It will also skip between three days when toggling the map (Sun --> Wed; Mon --> Thurs, etc.). But honestly this does not really effect gameplay, only thing is that nights and days are waay longer. Positives: TRADING IS 100% POSSIBLE! I have traded multiple times between the two copies, and between crystal, and it works as it should. You just need a link cable, obviously. I was worried when the game shop who sold me the repro (yes they told me it was a repro, I knew full well) said there was no trading. However, I tested it just in case bc people said online that it would work and bam, it did! I will update if battling works, as I have not yet battled my friend

I like how at the top it just says game😂😂😂

''seems legit'' 🤣

Hey does anyone know if the batteries on these games last forever or die within 10 years

"Fire Red" He says.. Sir that's just Red.

But do the regular glitches work? 🤔

I have one of this Fake cartridge.. the crystal version. It’s playablebut the clock do not work. It’s possible to solder a battery and get the clock properly working?

On the strength I use to have a Gameboy color when I was 11 with Pokemon red and yellow. I bought one in my adult age of 26. I sold it with a og yellow. Im going to get a original yellow or blue because they are cheeper than red. Im 35 now with a 11 year old son and a 17 year old daughter. Im going to get fake and og versions to create memories with the kids. And relive! I don't care about fake fake... I just want to whip Gary... Win a few badges.. and catch a lot of Pokemon 🙆🏽‍♂️🔴🙊😼🦊🐗🐴🐉🐀🦄🦥🦧🦜🦉🦤🐟🦩🦋🐝🦀

Can you trade Pokemon on these? Or battle?

Difference between the real and fake: 1) the fakes weight less 2) at the cartridge opening there is a hole into the cartridge when they are fake 3) real ones are shinier 4) when you save games in fakes the music stops, in reals they don’t - I’ve bought a lot of fakes just because I don’t care if they aren’t worth much, I don’t buy them for that. I do it for the nostalgic game play. Plus the real ones are way to expensive. I bought a legit Pokémon red for 80 dollars.

Will these actually work or do they crash or lose your save files? I want to get them as a gift and would appreciate a reply!

I could never trust the fake cartridges especially when I saw someone wanting to play Pokémon Gold and god dr Mario 😂 I’d rather spend the 80$ for peace and mind they hold there value so to each there own

They have an issue... From what i experienced from mine, they waste alot of battery energy while saving and saving takes a bit more time... plus, if your battery is low and your game boy shuts down while saving, you will lose your saved game... Happened to me twice... its anoying!

Do any of these games work on pokemon stadium for n64???

Me: Wow this seems oddly nor- Quinny: LETS CATCH THAT PIKA BOY

Hey like your stuff, saw your vid about the Gen 3 games. Couldn't find out if you made a vid about I'd they trade okay? I don't care to trade up to Gen 4 but can it trade with my legit emerald and back okay? Wanna know before I buy still. Thnx M8

I have the fake green one and it doesn’t save I’m still in paler town

i ordered about 20 games on GB/GBC for about 3$ each + a GBC everdrive. The whole thing cost me around 100$ and I have literally a full library of games to play without any issues whatsoever. Retro game prices are ridiculous.

3 years later and I get the 1000th like, let’s gooo

My crystal like that one doesn’t save

btw i subed to ur channel and post notifacation and liked this vid

the silver version is just a print out [badly done] of the original label.

Don't worry about the game freezing while saving I have a reproduction pokemon ruby and it does that

uNbOxInG time

some of these were a dead give away 🤣

I knew the were fake by looking at the crystal version

Does multiplayer work

I just bought these yesterday ,mine say Gameboy color not just game like your's says

Can you trade in between these games

These are great I’ve bought loads! worth the £2 a cart! All run perfectly

Green? I didn’t know that one existed. I grew up with only the six.

im not stealing your idea i just wanna try the games out so can u please post a link for game in the comments

Isn’t pokemon fire red a gba game?

Sellers make a save to check they are working.

but do the games work?

Buys 7 games. Only shows off 1.

Trigger L button expands screen for gb and gbc on the advance and sp

Thank God

The only reason they sell is because everyone is to broke to buy the originals

Oh gosh I got Pokémon Fire Red off of Ebay cause a couple of days ago I found my brother's old Gold Pikachu Gameboy Advance and I wanted to buy a game for it hope it's not a fake

see I want to get these for now because I already have a Red and Blue on the way both the real thing and I also have a Gold. I want to get all of them at some point.
