--- Quote from: JakeHC on April 28, 2014, 11:59:53 PM ---Just as a point of interest, those boxes look to be fake. Especially fire red, sapphire and emerald. --- End quote --- Now that you mention it...fire red had a "inlcudes wireless adapter" graphic in the lower right corner. Something just feels off about that corner. I can't remember that far back if it was a sticker or printed on the box. Never seen a non greatest hits version without the image. Or without something else (like the rating) in that corner. |

And the greatest hits removed the adapter, but the E rating was moved to the other side. Hmm. --- End quote --- I bought a whole heap of fakes for cheap not too long ago, and the boxes all look identical to the ones I received. Fire red is missing the adapter sticker for example. Ruby looks more legit as it is the way the fake box is made, however the 'shiny effect' used on the boxes is a dead give away. At least that's not how they were in Australia. |

| Megatron:
Man, if I could go back 25 years I would kick myself into keeping the boxes for all these games. Had no idea I wold actually care so much about them now. |

Yup, that's why they're worth anything at this point. I thank my mother for my hoarder-like mentality when it comes to holding on to packaging. Never threw away a single box :) |
