Are these games bootlegs?

Desolis:
GB/GBC/GBA games also usually have a two digit number pressed into the label also. Which is easiest to see if you hold the game under a light. If the label is missing such an indentation that's not a good sign either.

Edit: Here is a page that discusses some of the things to look for in fake Pokemon carts.

How to spot a fake GBA game
ClayYTOfficial:
I think I'm having the same issue ... I believe these to be fake judging from the jacked up "Nintendo" logo and what appears to be the wrong ESRB mark.

I haven't paid for them yet, so any feedback would be great. But in my heart I now feel these to be fake. Which is totally crushing since I need these in my collection

Yeah, I'm slowly getting more and more photos in and adding them to that Photobucket folder ... Some serious fakes there. Especially when you look at the bottom back of the Emerald one I just added.

Also, reading this, I can see where "my" Emerald matches the fake -- http://www.ebay.com/gds/Identify-pirate-GBA-Pokemon-games-/10000000178146398/g.html

Damn, these assholes are getting good at this.

I remember buying a Pokemon Pinball game for GBA a few months after it came out on ebay for real cheap and I couldn't believe the deal I got. One day I looked at the back of the cart and noticed it said "Nintondo" At the time I thought it was a misprint but now I realize it was just a bootleg.
