Stupid ass question. I realize GBA piracy is pretty rampant, but how can you tell if its on OG?

There are several methods. The most common and consistent way to tell the difference to me is the label. Pirated carts rarely, if ever, have the stamped characters imprinted on them. If you look at a legit label closely (try using th refracting light off the label) you'll see some tiny numbers/letters stamped into it. I've never come across a knock-off cart that had them.
Another common difference is the plastic and mold of the cart itself. Legit carts have a slightly rough texture to them. Pirated GBA games are a lot more smooth, and the "Gameboy Advance" stamp looks a lot more obvious. Plus fakes tend to not have the satisfying "snap" when inserting them into a cartridge slot. They often have to be forced to fit.
Lastly back to the label, pirated games sometimes have completely different artwork then a legit game. And often the label art appears blurry, and has a stretched official Nintendo seal of approval.
