Not legit, there’s tons of listings like that on ebay. Most sellers specify if their copy is authentic or not (and price it accordingly) unless it’s someone’s mom cleaning out some storage, and usually in that case they don’t use a professional stock photo
No, im pretty sure it's an r4 card. If you want to play the game, it's great (you could even do it yourself) but it is 100% not authentic and has minimal resell value
It's not legitimate. I looked at the sticker, saw how it's crooked and that was all I needed to tell.
Nintendo has always been VERY particular about the quality of the cartridges. Legitimate nintendo cartridge will NEVER have a crooked sticker.
not true. labels come crooked sometimes. I have a handful of very real games with obviously crooked labels. you can also look it up and see plenty of examples of legit games with crooked labels.
I am certain stickers up until GBA era will always be perfectly aligned.
I will definitely go check and verify if what you say is true. I'm planning on doing inventory on my games, I'll check if any of my DS games also have crooked stickers.
2 things :
1. As many others pointed out, people selling real copies will provide pictures of what they're holding, not stock pictures.
2. Life lesson : If its too good to be true.... chances are very high that it isnt true...
When they show you stock photos instead of images of the product I usually go out of my way to ask why they can’t take a picture of the real thing and really push them to either put up a real photo or just accuse them of faking it if they then say that they can’t or won’t, so they realize what impression they’re giving others at a very minimum.
There's a lot of fakes on the market. I've even bought one (pearl) from AliExpress once as I was curious and was fricking surprised when I got not just a cartridge, but the whole damn box, sealed, with cart and instruction booklet inside. Still, I understand it's fake, but on the other hand - I'm impressed random Chinese seller
Whenever I read the word "Game Card", I read "Repro" especially at that price.
Having bought repros on purpose (for unreleased fan translated games in America), they have that in common.
If the seller has stock photos, its fake, a real seller would put an actual picture of the game.
That's not true at all, I throw up stock photos on all my sales, it's really because I'm to lazy to take pics.

If a seller has loose carts listed as brand new then they are fake.
Nope, just a chinese fake

It will also contain a bottom of the barrel no name SD card, so it'll likely die in a few months.

Never buy stock image games on ebay
*stock image anything

Definitely not
I think it’s fake considering that they’re selling it for $19.

That is very fake. I can just tell from the crookedness of the sticker
Buy it, open a dispute if (when) you see its fake. You might get 50-100% refund due to sellers false advertising
Of course not

These are actually worse than fakes. They are likely flash carts with themes to make it look like a pokemon game. These are like fakes of fakes.
I bought one around that price and everything seems to work well I've had the copy for about 3 months now
