does the game go in full size like an authentic would lets say when u press L on the sp to make it go wide or do the fakes make u play the game on a small screen?
@@azgrafflife Yes. With any original GameBoy or GameBoy Color game being played on the Advance and Advance SP, you can change the screen resolution size from wide or 4:3. This doesn’t change if you are playing repros.
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
Also the fact that the original is a gameboy color cartridge, which is very different to an OG gameboy cartridge, this fake crystal uses the OG cartridge style.
That's what I'm hoping. Obviously the game will save at first, but I'm interested in the save longevity of these. Will it hold your saves at least as long as the original, or longer? Regardless I'll be using the mega memory card as backup
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
And those ones who knows how far gone the save battery is. Even the ones that say "new save battery" how much can you trust their soldering job? And even then it will fail again at some point in the future. Some other commenter here says these knock offs use a "flash" method of saving which saves it forever.
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?
@@allthelonely4287 no there's no place to put on the place he's referring to is a flash memory built into the chip you solder a battery over it you just don't have a saving function it will ruin the flash component
@@allthelonely4287 nope no place to stick it the top of the original carts where battery goes why these fakes use a 1/2 size board they use flash save states and there's literally no room I picked up the Crystal off eBay was going to try it myself but anywhere you put it it's on top of something it's going to short out and not work anymore put it over the flash save components it's not even going to save progress.
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
Especially if you can get your hands on a flash cart with a functional RTC. Then you could load it up with the ROMs for all the games, and play them on original hardware if you wanted to. I intend to get my hands on all the original copies, but I already know that most (if not all) of them will have dead batteries that'll need replacing. A flash cart would allow me to play without needing to fix them first.
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
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.
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.
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
Looks like they updated or modified some stuff. This batch doesn't work in Pokemon stadium. New batch does work and includes another cartridge: Clear crystal.
@@DFRNTVIEWSTV latest version -2020.5 on the board, and onwards- do work. Every single one before that date will not. Look for my other comment i explain it all there.
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????
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
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
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
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
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. 😎
About number 4: Nah they took some fan traslation of real green and put it on the catridge. You can tell right away that if you use super game boy, or if you play that game long enough. Now the real mess is Crystal Clear (Not featured in this video but as 2020 included in the deal if you buy on Ali Express) because the rom is just plain weird. All of it. You start with nonsensical Pokemon at level 50, the elite is hard AF and just with luck you can survive that and sometimes you enter a room -lets say safari zone- and appear in pallet town when you exit.
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?
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.
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 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.
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
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
@@pikablu_25 yooo!! I ran into this same problem. I just beat Lance and it brought me right back to where I last saved. Have you found a resolution to this yet? I’d love get the SS Aqua ticket and continue playing
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
They dont need it. They have a bridge where the battery is supposed to be, and the black dot in the board is where the save is stored. Kinda like a save state. Basically the same trick they do in replica advance ones.
@@michellefernandez3155 So it means this fake game cartridges are better than the original one? You are rekt with the original one when the battery is EOL.
@@tumtum-7260 It means that if you dont care about pokemon stadium 1/2 (Repros are unplayable there, most of the time) and/or get some repro rom corrupted because you attempted a trick -like cloning pokemon- that works in an original but not here, go for it. BTW if you manage some medium-advanced knowledge like the Mew Glitch or doing ACE they work perfectly fine here. (In fact G/S/C cant be finished with the repro as is: You need to do ACE to ¨finish¨ ´em. RBY work perfect as repro. SGC not so much. Bugged af. My advice: get everything as a repro, except yellow and crystal.
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?
They look nothing like real ones the plastics wrong, all the 2nd gen have a glitter effect in the plastic. They all say game at the top aswell which is wrong.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
Best way is to never buy under 30 bucks and also read the description if it says reproduction anywhere don't buy (on eBay) if it doesn't buy and test it if it's fake you can get your money back for being scammed
@@BriefDark yea i figured as much, i kinda stopped looking with everything going on, but yea i really have no intention of looking online. i know a guy that owns a couple different pawn shops in my area that has had some of the older games and systems in the past so i might check him out and have him keep an eye out.
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
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?
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
once i bought a fake pokémon leaf green cartridge and it seemed all fine till later on in the game where it would crash when i went to battle with my rival
just bought a custom gba sp with ips v2 screen 🙈 got all 12 fake pokemon games lmao it was 163.15 in total for just the games, imagine if they were real big yikes on that price
Honestly, if they save, and play the games correctly, than these are a great low price way to experience the games.

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
So does it have a battery?
They dont need it. They have a bridge where the battery is supposed to be, and the black dot in the board is where the save is stored. Kinda like a save state.
Basically the same trick they do in replica advance ones.
@@michellefernandez3155 So it means this fake game cartridges are better than the original one? You are rekt with the original one when the battery is EOL.
@@tumtum-7260 It means that if you dont care about pokemon stadium 1/2 (Repros are unplayable there, most of the time) and/or get some repro rom corrupted because you attempted a trick -like cloning pokemon- that works in an original but not here, go for it.
BTW if you manage some medium-advanced knowledge like the Mew Glitch or doing ACE they work perfectly fine here. (In fact G/S/C cant be finished with the repro as is: You need to do ACE to ¨finish¨ ´em. RBY work perfect as repro. SGC not so much. Bugged af.
My advice: get everything as a repro, except yellow and crystal.
@@michellefernandez3155 Thanks!
@@michellefernandez3155 why not yellow and crystal?
Do they save after beating the Elite Four?
I have them all! Even the Japanese Versions! So worth it. The originals are expensive.
Well It loads normally shows the normal two pokemon fighting then just crashes
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?
They dont :(
@@neves188 They do wtf. I have mine from months now and all work.
Maybe it depends of the batch you order?
They look nothing like real ones the plastics wrong, all the 2nd gen have a glitter effect in the plastic. They all say game at the top aswell which is wrong.
You can test this carts in pokemon stadium 2 with the transer pack
Question: I bought one of these for Pokémon gold but the game won't save do you have any idea how to fix it?
Sorry i honestly dont know
Does it have a save battery? If so, the battery might be dead.
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!
That happens with real carts too. It’s because saving takes more power from the system. It’s not the fakes.
Oh well to bad 😂
the silver version is just a print out [badly done] of the original label.
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.
Hey does anyone know if the batteries on these games last forever or die within 10 years
U can buy gameboy prototype with adaptor
Isn’t pokemon fire red a gba game?
Don't worry about the game freezing while saving I have a reproduction pokemon ruby and it does that
I have the fake green one and it doesn’t save I’m still in paler town
This does put a smile on my face
but do the games work?
Me: Wow this seems oddly nor-
Quinny: LETS CATCH THAT PIKA BOY
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
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.
Can you trade Pokemon on these? Or battle?
Can you trade in between these games
Longang will luv you long time 😉
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.
Best way is to never buy under 30 bucks and also read the description if it says reproduction anywhere don't buy (on eBay) if it doesn't buy and test it if it's fake you can get your money back for being scammed
Look around locally. You’re insane, if you think you can find legit copies for reasonable prices online.
@@BriefDark yea i figured as much, i kinda stopped looking with everything going on, but yea i really have no intention of looking online. i know a guy that owns a couple different pawn shops in my area that has had some of the older games and systems in the past so i might check him out and have him keep an eye out.
@@stevenwatts586 I hope you get them eventually.
@@BriefDark thanks, i do too
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
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?
Nope the cartridge's chip doesn't have a place for it those pirated copies use flash save states that are not really reliable anyways
would look for a used original with battery replaced instead 🤷♀
These are great I’ve bought loads! worth the £2 a cart! All run perfectly
did you use the pc for once?
My crystal like that one doesn’t save
Trigger L button expands screen for gb and gbc on the advance and sp
@@azgrafflife I'm not sure honestly I haven't gotten fakes yet I assume that the gameboy is what expands not the game
@@azgrafflife yes
I just bought these yesterday ,mine say Gameboy color not just game like your's says
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've had alot of ppl ask for that vid im guna work on it asap 👍🏼
uNbOxInG time
"Fire Red" He says.. Sir that's just Red.
Thank God
Do any of these games work on pokemon stadium for n64???
Sadly i dont have pkmn stadium so i cant test it!
If they work on the GB they most certainly work with stadium
I know they work on the Gameboy player on Gamecube
I tested, ans they dont work on stadium
3 years later and I get the 1000th like, let’s gooo
Dam les goo ma dood!
Does multiplayer work
once i bought a fake pokémon leaf green cartridge and it seemed all fine till later on in the game where it would crash when i went to battle with my rival
Dam that's terrible I'm sorry to hear that
btw i subed to ur channel and post notifacation and liked this vid
Thanks gamer 🙂
Thanks man love ur vids
The games work fine until you beat them. Then the game starts all over again. You can't continue from your save like you could in the real games.
''seems legit'' 🤣
Did you bought a 108 in 1 card
just bought a custom gba sp with ips v2 screen 🙈 got all 12 fake pokemon games lmao it was 163.15 in total for just the games, imagine if they were real big yikes on that price
But do the regular glitches work? 🤔
hmm im not sure~!
Yes they do
you dont have a pokemon green cartridge to compare it to because green never released outside of japan bruh
im not stealing your idea i just wanna try the games out so can u please post a link for game in the comments
Sellers make a save to check they are working.
Did you start it like a Maxmoefoe video on purpose or accident?
