What? Take a picture of it and post it here. I'd be very interested in seeing it.

Is it a NTSC-U release because I thought they all said "special pikachu edition?
"

That it is. They are all the same.

My guess is he has a PAL cart (which is obviously region free)

True PAL cart does not say Pikachu edition, but nor does it say gotta catch them all (I know I'm holding on my knee).

My quess is fake cart or repro label.

Oh, I wasn't taking into consideration foreign to the US carts. My bad.

Definitely Definitely Definitely a reprinted label. The quality of the print isn't very good and the lines are thicker and darker than normal

Isn't that the wrong E for the rating for that release? I thought it was a black E for everyone.

[garrett]

the thing is, its the full game everything is as it should be ... theres no pikachu mini games like in the special edition. its not a label re-print (I know that much for sure) its the same one I have had as a kid which was bought new

If you bought this new in store, as you say, hold on to it as this is rare.

The biggest stand out for me is that you see Pikachu's feet.  On the original trilogy (r/b/y) they cut the lower half of he Pokemon off at the waist or knees.  No feet.  
It also says the color.  That didn't happen until later generations. ...edit - you CAN see Blastoise's foot.  But my point remains for Pikachu.   

Also that label screams poor quality image.  Are you in the US?  Because all of my info is based on US material.  So I can't speak for anywhere else, but the Pokemon labels have always looked sharp and crisp.  Yours looks like it was prnted on a 1999 inkjet...no offense

The black E came around 1999 or 2000 or so, before that they were the outlines, white ratings.  I know, because I remember being pissed that Resident Evil 3 (I think) and Final Fantasy IX didn't match the others in the series

Also the sideways text font on the gray back is Arial. Iirc the retail  font used is Helvetica.
Also there is a slight metallic look to the gray on the side normally and this is a flat gray in yours.

The Nintendo logo isn't legible (the ink looks to have bled a bit) and it has a completely different "Version" font. It was already mentioned before that during this generation the Version was not stated on the cart.

No two ways around it ... its a reprinted label. Sorry dude

Do you think Nintendo would cut a chunk out of the Pokemon logo? Your cart has a portion of apostrophe cut off.
You may believe that it is a genuine label but unfortunately, with all due respect, it is not
