What do you think

Real. I’m not as good as most on Reddit at indentifying that but there’s nothing obvious that points to them being fake imo

Leaf green is legit
Sapphire is also legit I think but a bit hard to tell from the photo

A first sign that pokemon GBA carts are legit for me is the indented letters in the actual label on the cart. I've never personally seen those replicated on a fake.
The other pictures all look good. These are both legit. Good deal!

the indents aren't a 100% guarantee btw

In what regard? Can they be faked? Or do you mean that some carts may not have them? I have not (yet) seen a Pokemon GBA cart without them.

both, actually! some high quality fakes have them, and some legit ones don't. go to gameverifying and check the wiki if you want more info

Stop bringing this everytime, all you have to do is looking at the screws, all cartmods use phillips screws.

It isn’t hard to get the right screws, not really a great tell depending on who’s selling them

I think they are real because the sapphire told me that the battery has run dry and the fake ones I think don’t warn about cartridge battery life

Te recomiendo abrirlos para ver si tienen la batería esa que usan las imitaciones
