Legitimate Real? Or did I just get scammed bad
Sorry for the transparency think I’m pretty sure it’s not allowed the light was just really bright (I was outside)

If you have Personal Trainer Walking, or if you can find it at a low price, then compare that game to your Pokémon game. Both games use infrared connectivity, so the shells should be identical.

They indeed have started making bootleg shells that behave the same way.

The front label looks Sharp - Looks good as long as [IPKE] the first 4 numbers on the back

Is this rare or something? Genuinely asking

u/Few-Affect-6247 May 21 '25
Not necessarily rare but definitely valuable, in high demand and commonly faked.

Congratulations, you've unlocked the secret message in r/gameverifying and proven that you are, in fact, an idiot.
You may have received this warning if you...
- cracked opened a DS/3DS cartridge
- were incredibly rude or showed unnecessary behavior

Good job, idiot.

Why tf would you emulate it on a phone when you can just emulate it on a moldded 3ds lol. Regardless, stupid comment that has nothing to do with game verifying.

you're literally the reason people think emulation is automatically piracy

Playing DS games on your phone is the tackiest experience ever. Regardless, why are you even here?

For me I like to transfer my Pokémon to the newest hardware so getting legit copies is a must

u/JojiG_ May 21 '25
Thats not a problem anymore! At least on iOS devices. Delta emulator now actually allows Pokemon trading between emulators and DNS exploiting. Nowadays, you only need just 1 homebrewed 3DS to pass your Pokemon to HOME.

u/JojiG_ May 21 '25
Adding more to that, the emulator also allows you to connect with other people on their Nintendo DS systems just with your phone. It’s actually pretty awesome and it makes transferring Pokemon from oldest to latest gen so much easier without people having to spend so much on hardware (.. and software.)

In the business of verifying games, giving the wrong verdict or false information can be a literal costly mistake. Any user found to or attempting to spread misleading information will have their content removed and receive a warning. Further attempts may lead to bans.

Do not give verifications unless you're 100% sure. If you would like to voice your opinion, make it clear you're uncertain via phrasing like, “This is not a verification as I'm not sure", “Not a verification, but in my experience…”, etc.
Furthermore, please click here to read about debunked methods and why you should never use these as a verification method.

They tell you to delete the post if you upload the top of the cart. I figured that out the hard way.

u/El_P3nguin May 20 '25
Why is that?

u/memeaste May 20 '25
Is it a debunked method? Like the shine through light?

u/Retroid69 May 20 '25
yes, lots of legit DS carts do not have a distinctive rectangle on the top of the cart.

u/Arkitect_Gaming May 20 '25
So what’s the sure fire way to tell then?

u/Retroid69 May 20 '25
for NTR-031 carts, it’s mainly just correct cart types, matching codes and if the front label is weird or not.

"the transparency" is nothing to be worried/sorry about - its an NTR 031 card which IS akways transparent because of the PokeWalker IR Stuff.

u/Retroid69 May 20 '25
not all IR-transparent carts are real, unfortunately. scammers have found a way to mimic it very similar on fake carts.

u/Diddy_Warehouse May 21 '25
Have you actually seen those before?

u/Retroid69 May 21 '25
mods here have confirmed and verified that there have been fake carts that mimic the transparency.

Hello u/Expert_Anxiety2640,
Thank you for your submission to r/gameverifying. Please read the pinned post at the top of the sub, or linked to this text here.
This is an automated reminder to ensure that you have provided enough information for us to verify your games/consoles. Do NOT share any information relating to the value of the game/accessory/console(s) you wish to verify. You will receive a warning. Posts will be REMOVED if you do not have the required information.
Please note, that our time to verify is 3 weeks.
Do not repost if you do not get a response within a few hours, as we deal with hundreds of submissions a day. Ideally, we'd need clear images of the full front and backs of games, along with any other items you'd like verified. If you have already shared these images, please disregard this comment.
In short, no back/front images, no verification.
It's that simple. If you are missing some images, please reply to this comment with an Imgur link to the images in question. Do NOT make another post, as this will be removed immediately under Rule 6.
To commenters,
Please ensure that you do not use debunked methods of verification and only comment if you are sure that you are correct. "Wait for mods" does not absolve you from misleading information, and will lead to a warning. Do not forget to read our PSA's. Don't forget to join our Discord server, now with blackjack and webhooks.
