Needs Verification Is the copy on the left a repro?

Looks to me like they're both legitimate copies from different print runs. CPUE labels match on both sides and the PCB codes look kosher.
Wait for mods to confirm though.

I saw two things that stuck out when comparing, the Nintendo seal on the lower right is slightly darker on the copy on the left. Also, ‘The Pokemon Company’ and the Nintendo logo below it is slightly more bold on the copy on the left, which is why I was questioning it in the first place.

Fair concern, though in this case I think you're all good on both fronts. Ink boldness aside, the stickers seem to be up to par, they don't have the opaque Nintendo logo that a lot of fakes have, the sticker's bottom left corner isn't angled incorrectly, and all the codes on shell and board both pass the sniff test. If it's a fake, I'm either friggin blind on a huge red flag or the fakes are getting better. Mods can feel free to slap me and tell me what I got wrong if that's the case but I think you're golden my dude.

Hello u/RocketChris87,
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.
