screming crying throwing up trying to find a legit copy of heartgold that isnt 100+ dpllars

i had a copy a few yeaes ago that unfortunately got chewed up, and i recently found out the replacement i got is fske :( idk if the one i had before was authentic but. trying to get one now is like impossible

people even sell the Ds Cases and Manuals for $100!! empty boxes and pokewalker manuals bro

i called around some local used game stores and the only one that even had a copy was selling it for 150 im so sad. the only ones online that arent Quite as expensive are japanese copies but i actually wanna Play the Game and i cannot read japanese

i Had a Shiny Cyndaquil on the fake and now i have ti get a Real One and shiny hunt it Again bc previously i just took whatever ended up being shiny first but now im committed to my cyndaquil so ill have to go until i get it If i can even get my hands on a legit copy anytime soon

#pokemon #rant kinda #then of course when buying onlne you have to be wary of fakes bc some ppl will maliciously try to pass it off as legit #i now know how to spot fakes somewhat so i can try to identify them if they use actual photos and not generic ones but still.#there was an auction for one fake that either claimed to be authentic or didnt say whether it was or wasnt but either way it was fake #and it was up to like $50+!! assumingly bc ppl thought it was real!!#ik a lot of fakes are like $10 but i dont Want fakes for the same reasons i dont just play on emulators #its just more meaningful to me to have authentic copies that ik for a fact will be compatible with all my other legit games #plus ive heard hgss fakes often crash at the game corner And they cant connect to pokewalker bc the casing is generic plastic #thats an easy way to spot fakes for hgss and the gen 5 games btw. if the cart is grey and not black its probably fake #if you hold a legit one up to the light itll shine through and look red its pretty cool
