The differences are subtle, but there nonetheless. Fake games often don't have this text or may just say something like "GAME." Make sure you check for this text, as it's one of the easier ways to tell a dud from the real deal. Meanwhile, Game Boy Color games have a convex thumb grip that reads "Game Boy COLOR".

If you see a gray cartridge with a sticker showing any language other than Japanese, it's not authentic. In Japan, Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, and Silver games were produced in gray cartridges, with Gold having a darker cartridge than the others. Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal have golden, silver, and icy blue cartridges. Each game's cartridge color corresponds with their name - Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow have red, blue, and yellow cartridges. Nintendo has never produced any Pokémon title on the Game Boy or Game Boy Color in a gray shell. If you see a North American or European Pokémon game in a gray cartridge, run away. This deceit occurs most with Pokémon games, despite being some of the best-selling games on the console, which means that there is no shortage of physical game cartridges.

From the popular Kanto region in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow, to the initially misunderstood but now revered Black and White, as well as their sequels, Black 2 and White 2 - Pokémon games are always in demand.

With many Pokémon games being remade, such as Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl for the Nintendo Switch, a lot of people, including me, are looking back to previous eras of Pokémon games.
