Is this a Bootleg GBA game?

Post by TheClassicVideoGamer »

I have a Pokemon Ruby for GBA cart, it is black, and it says Version 3 on it. I have done some research online and have found nothing. Can someone help me. I purchased this from a garage sale.

Thanks.

Look above the connectors. Does it say "Nintendo"? If not, it's a bootie.

It's at home, but I asked my sister to take a look. Now we play the waiting game.

Serial number is wrong, it matches a Dragon Ball Z game, not Pokemon:

GBA are pretty much the most common bootlegs to come across. They're everywhere.

Unfortunately, GBA boots are really common. I think we've all been burned. Garage sale guy probably bought it loose at another garage sale, flea market, etc. And like cookie monster said, I've seen boots at GameStop and other game stores. When you buy loose GBA carts, always peek inside and look for that Nintendo copyright near the contacts. If you have a fancy cell phone equipped with internet on you, check out the AGB# before buying.
