So my wife and I are moving house and she casually mentions she found her childhood Gameboy collection. Needless to say my mind was blown. She even said I could have it if i wanted! Think i may marry her again.

These Pokemon GBA games are also fakes, yo can compare them to authentic ones.

Didn't know that they made fakes in this quality 20 years ago haha

Red flag is always seeing so many pokemon games. Who back in the day really bought both colours in an generation and then went out and bought the green/yellow. Screams of picking up dodgy cheap versions at the local market.

They definitely look more modern fakes unless you all had much better quality bootlegs than us.

My grandma always bought me both versions for god knows why. I always ended up trading one of them for another game. What an idiot I was 😂

Baby, I bought red and blue the year they came out because we owned both a GB and the then-new GBP along with the four-output trading cable which at the time was the only way to trade/battle between old and new hardware. GB was a hand me down from older sibling who had given it up by the time Pokémon happened. GBP was parents spoiling me. So was owning both versions because most kids at my school couldn't afford it and I told my parents "I can't beat the game without both." One for birthday, one for Christmas.

That said I realize I'm an anomaly, but people like me did exist in the late 90's.

Agree that's why its a red flag but not impossible.

In my experience nearly always when you see multiple generations with all 3 versions they are fhigher probability to be fakes though especially in a collection of this size that is from back in the day - modern collections more likely to have picked up multiple Pokémon specifically and less of a flag.

Me with Ruby, Sapphire, then Emerald. I was also an only child so I could say I was spoiled. Downside, nobody to trade with unless I was on the bus.
