COMPARE POKEMON FOR GAME BOY GAMES SERIES

We only wasted our time in gen 3 so we could have pokemon to trasnfear over. We came to realise that we wasted all that time with emerald since we cant transfer our Pokemon over as their fakes. I gave one to my partner and we worked through it collecting pokemon so we could add them to our pearl and diamond respectively. I purcahsed two ds lite's with two emeralds. Its the difference between being able to trade up to a gen 4 game, like pearl, and being able to battle your pokemon against your friends. Downloading an emulator is a pretty good alternative! Maybe you should consider rebuying it haha.

Just for the Mario, Pokemon and Zelda series alone it is worth owning. Still prefer the GBA to any other console, my favourite console of all time.

Luckily still kept my original GBA, and bought a micro for the backlit screen. I spent quite a lot of regenerating my old GBA library which I sold off on ebay a few years ago. I've heard the main issue is that they use batteries to save rather than flash memory, so eventually I'll lose all my saved game. If you have a DS lite or any GBA handhelds my advice is to keep them because you never know when an old retro bargain might pop up on eBay, as long as it's legitimate.Īfter I read an article on fake games I was just kicking myself for being so blind. I do still have Pokemon X for my 3DS XL but it doesn't seem to have the charm of the 2D games perhaps I haven't spend enough time playing it.

I'm obviously way out of the target market age for Pokemon but the games still have a fond place in my gaming heart. I actually ended up selling it which I really regret now. I then found my old DS Lite which had a GBA slot and I bought Fire Red and Leaf Green from eBay and honestly, it was a blast playing them, not least of all because the DS Lite has a backlit screen unlike the GBA so the display was much better. I never owned a copy myself when it first came out (my parents were poor) but I remember playing it on my friends GameBoy and thinking it was the best thing ever many years later it still was immensely fun to play, even the 8bit music still sounded great. Last Summer I actually indulged in some nostalgia and bought an old GBA SP and bought Pokemon Red and Blue. I have never played a fake GBA game but supposedly the game will boot up fine but will fail to save progress, graphical errors or anomalies and crashes are common.

I know from looking on eBay that counterfeit GBA Pokemon games are hard to spot and many of them are fakes there are characteristics to look for on the cartridge cover art and the cartridges themselves. I just recently found out that all 5 of my pokemon Gameboy Advance games are fakes ffs.īut can anyone explain to me the difference between the original and fakes in terms of gaming experience? Surely they are the same game, it's just the fake has a new internal battery and an unoriginal cartridge.ĭoes anyone still play retro GBA games, lol, and know why the pirated copies are 'bad'?
